Material for Helmet visor combining impact resistance, anticratch and antifog properties

n summer and winter alike, it is crucial for motorcyclists and those riding on scooters to have a clear view both during the day and at night. Visors easily get scratched and dirty through their daily use in a harsh environment. And it then becomes clear whether the rider's "windscreen" is really up to the job or not.
If the visors are scratched, then light from oncoming cars or the sun appears in the form of a wide halo, which can briefly disorientate the wearer.
It is also important for visors to be protected against fogging on the inside.
The "helmet windows" are naturally required to have a high impact resistance so as to reliably prevent stones thrown up by the car in front, from coming into contact with the rider's eye for example. Material to be used requires high impact resistance in a wide range of temperatures.

In flying-stone tests, visors in Makrolon® LQ 3187 withstand the impact of steel balls traveling at 420 km/h without suffering any damage.

The Makrolon® visors are fracture-proof and do not splinter. Visors for motorbike helmets are made of Makrolon® LQ 3187 which meets the particularly stringent requirements, such as 100% UV screening (up to 400 nm), with outstanding mechanical strength at the same time.

To improve scratch resistance and anti-fog, a special scratch-resistant coating is applied to the outside and a special anti-fog coating is applied on the inside to stop the formation of water droplets caused by the visor wearer's warm, moist breath.
