    Makrolon from Bayer MaterialScience? Makrolon polycarbonate is helping Webasto produce fixed panoramic sunroofs
    for the third-generation smart fortwo car.
    The technical highlight of the sunroof system is its ability to absorb solar energy and prevent excessive temperatures in the car, thanks to the addition of infrared absorbers
    to the polycarbonate.
    This 771079 is a thermostable, heat-absorbing Makrolon? The AG2677 was used for the first time in the
    new smart.
    Infrared absorption also has an ecological advantage, as if excessive temperatures can be avoided in the car, there is no special need to turn on the air conditioning system, reducing fuel consumption
    .

    The material is extremely impact-resistant, weatherproof and lightweight
    .
    Sunroofs made of polycarbonate weigh up to 50%
    less than glass sunroofs.
    The sunroof panel on the new Smart Fortwo weighs only 9.
    8 kg
    .
    Thanks to the reduced weight of the sunroof, this small city car reduces fuel consumption
    .
    At the same time, the sunroof also improves driving agility, as the car's center of gravity is further lowered
    .
