UV-resistant polycarbonate films
Polycarbonate is used in numerous industrial applications due to its properties. However, one disadvantage of this material is its low UV stability, which generally limits its possible areas of application to indoor use or short-term outdoor use.
As a supplier of special technical films, we offer Makrofol UV film, a polycarbonate film with improved UV stability. This product is a high-quality, co-extruded polycarbonate film with a special coating to protect against UV radiation (Makrofol UV 244). This film combines the outstanding properties of polycarbonate with the possibility of use under UV rays.
Properties of our UV-stable polycarbonate film
In addition to increased UV resistance, Covestro's high-performance Makrofol UV 244 film also offers the outstanding properties of non-UV-stabilised polycarbonate films:
- High mechanical strength
- Resistant to temperatures from -40 °C to 130 °C
- Continuous service temperature of approximately 105 °C
- Excellent dimensional stability
- High impact strength
- Very good insulating and dielectric properties
Processing
Our UV-stabilised polycarbonate film can be processed in the same way as classic polycarbonate film. The films offer good and consistent printability in various printing processes such as screen printing. They can also be embossed, punched, cut and glued. The Makrofol UV 244 film can also be cold and hot formed without any problems.
Service
We offer Makrofol UV 244 in rolls or cut to size into sheets. We store all our films in rolls, which we are happy to cut to your desired length and width. All products in stock can be delivered within a few working days.
As experts in technical films, we are happy to advise you from the planning stage right through to the implementation of your project and support you with technical data sheets or samples for the construction of prototypes. If you have any concerns or questions about our products, their processing, our cutting service or delivery, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you!

FAQ
What are UV-stable polycarbonate films?
UV-stable polycarbonate films are plastic films made of polycarbonate that are coated with special layers or additives to make them resistant to UV radiation. They combine high transparency, impact resistance and dimensional stability with long-lasting protection against solar radiation.
What material are UV-stable polycarbonate films made from?
These films are made of polycarbonate, a thermoplastic known for its impact resistance, transparency and heat resistance. UV stabilisers or special coatings provide additional protection against solar radiation.
What are the characteristics of UV-stable polycarbonate films?
UV-stable polycarbonate films are resistant, transparent, dimensionally stable and durable. They retain their colour and surface quality even under strong UV exposure and can be processed in many ways, for example by cutting, bending or thermoforming.
What are typical applications for UV-stable polycarbonate films?
They are often used for covers, screens, visors, roof glazing, instrument panels and displays. They also offer reliable protection against UV radiation and weathering in outdoor applications in architecture, advertising and security.
In what thicknesses and formats are UV-stable polycarbonate films available?
UV-stable polycarbonate films are available in various thicknesses from a few hundred micrometres to several millimetres. They are available in rolls, sheets or cut-to-size formats and can be adapted to the respective application.
How can UV-stable polycarbonate film be further processed?
The films can be cut, glued, bent, shaped or printed. Thanks to their high stability, they are suitable for precise technical applications, decorative elements and demanding outdoor areas.
Are UV-stable polycarbonate films suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, they are ideal for outdoor use. UV stabilisation protects against yellowing, embrittlement and loss of performance, ensuring that the films remain clear, robust and visually appealing in the long term.
