Reclaimed polycarbonate –
Exolon® GP rECO
Exolon® GP rECO is a safe polycarbonate sheet with excellent impact resistance, using up to 100% recycled polycarbonate. The advantages of this transparent recycled material are its high light transmission, a good resistance to a wide range of temperatures. Typical applications for Exolon® GP rECO polycarbonate sheets are machine shields, lighting fixtures and partition walls. Exolon® GP rECO sheets can be thermoformed, cold-formed and machined easily.
