MAKROLON HYGARD®- Combines MAKROLON AR Technology with the Latest Security Glazing Techniques for High Level Security and Cost Effective Installation
Increasing violent crime, readily available weapons, and larger glazed areas in modern detention center designs have created a need for higher performing security glazing materials. Sheffield Plastics has developed MAKROLON HYGARD to meet this need. Consisting of multiple layers of polycarbonate or polycarbonate/ acrylic with bonding interlayers, these "None Tougher", yet lightweight materials, offer proven resistance to physical and ballistic attack. Additionally, the relative light weight of MAKROLON HYGARD laminates, combined with easy on-site fabrication, give you a competitive edge on remodeling or retrofit projects where timely job completion is essential. Sheffield offers MAKROLON HYGARD laminates in six levels of protection ranging from containment rated sheet to UL Level 3 bullet resistant material capable of withstanding multiple rounds fired from superpowered handguns. All MAKROLON HYGARD laminated products feature hard coated surfaces for exceptional resistance to abrasion and UV degradation and are covered by a limited warranty against coating failure, excessive yellowing, and structural delamination caused by manufacturing defects.
MAKROLON HYGARD laminates will not "spider web" or spall. This allows for complete vision, which can be critical for appropriate response in the event of an attack.
