What is ECE R43?
UN ECE R43 is a standard originally established by the United Nations that regulates the properties of materials used in automotive glazing. This certification encompasses strict requirements for high optical quality, impact resistance, and durability under various conditions, such as temperature fluctuations and potential collision scenarios. The approval guarantees that our product meets all the rigorous standards necessary for the automotive industry and related applications, ensuring both performance and long-term reliability.
Key Benefits of Aikon® Polycarbonate Sheets
The Aikon® 8 mm polycarbonate sheet has been specifically developed for demanding environments where safety, durability, and lightweight design are critical. Compared to traditional glass, polycarbonate offers superior impact resistance, making it an ideal material for vehicle windows, protective panels, and other structural applications. Additionally, polycarbonate is half the weight of glass, reducing overall vehicle weight and thereby improving energy efficiency and performance.
