Water, salt, sun – boats must withstand harsh environments day in and day out. With this in mind,  Covestro has formulated a family of marine-grade polycarbonates for flexible boat enclosures. These materials provide boaters with clear, unobstructed views that make navigating the open water a breeze.

PC Sheet Redefines the View of Boaters

Revolutionary Glazing Material

• Makrolon? marine grade polycarbonate products provide a glass-like, wrinkle-free appearance. 
• Combining clarity with durability, Makrolon? polycarbonate sheet provides a clear, unobstructed view on the water. 
• This low-distortion, high- impact-resistant products can be sewn using commercially available, heavy duty sewing machines or adhesive bonded. 
• They withstand the harshest environments, including salt and sun exposure, while providing a stunning view for years to come.

Redefining the View

Mark Mitchell, boat owner, said:
“Covestro developed a revolutionary glazing material based on the needs of the industry. We believe when Covestro asked what was needed, they listened and developed a great polycarbonate product. The specified material checks all the boxes for boat owners: maximum optics and low distortion. These materials have really redefined the view from the captain's chair.”
