Polycarbonate film are clear general purpose film from the thermoplastic polymer family. It can be easily thermoformed and moulded. Polycarbonate film is easy to die-cut and has excellent ink adhesion which makes it a good choice for various applications such as: Instrument panels; trade show displays, membrane switches, control panels, and decals, menu boards, touch panels, labels, nameplates, overlays. They offer excellent light-diffusing characteristics, improved UV and chemical resistance, and other proven properties.

Makrofol LISA polycarbonate film from Bayer MaterialScience AG provides designers with enormous scope for creating plastic parts with a highly unusual and very striking colored light around the edges. The transparent film collects incident light, conveys it to the edges and allows it to emerge there, shining brightly. Molded parts thus exhibit a clearly visible edge lighting that emphasizes their contours.
