The durability of Makrolon® sheeting was one of the reasons why this thermoplastic from Bayer MaterialScience was also used to cover the roof of the sailing center in Quingdao.
Applications
Construction industry
Makrolon® proved to be a particularly suitable material for the roof of the Olympic stadium in Shenyang because it is lightweight and easy to assemble.
The high light transmission level of the Makrolon® sheets in the inner ring of the Tianjin Olympic stadium enabled the stands to be built close to the edge of the playing field without impairing grass growth.

The i-LINE product program offers a wide selection of highly heat insulating sheets for environmentally friendly building: Makrolon® Ambient, for example, with a heat transfer coefficient Ug of 0.99 W/m²K, guarantees outstanding heat insulation whether installed vertically or horizontally.

In the past, whenever steel structures needed to be protected against the effects of wind and weather, it was usually necessary to apply three layers of coating. Corrosion protection using polyaspartics, on the other hand, only requires two layers: a primer and the topcoat Intercure® 99 from AkzoNobel International Paint, based on polyaspartic binders from the Desmophen® NH range from Bayer MaterialScience. The quality testing ensures that both layers are applied correctly.
The Polymers Research and Development Center, with its imposing facade of Makrolon panels, is a visible sign of Bayer MaterialScience's commitment to the Chinese market.
For the construction of this ultra low-energy house in Munich the PURWALL® polyurethane composite heat insulation system from Hasit Trockenmörtel GmbH & Co. KG based on polyurethane raw materials of Bayer MaterialScience has been used.
Constructed on a historic site, the Spyridon Louis stadium built for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens has a transparent roof made of Makrolon® polycarbonate from Bayer MaterialScience.
Thanks to its low weight, Makrolon® multi-wall sheet can be laid over a large area without problem.
