PolyGuard™ Anti-Fog Plastic Sheet

Chemical & abrasion resistant Polycarbonate sheet
suitable for indoor use.
ANTI-FOG
DESCRIPTION
PolyGuard™ Anti-Fog is an optically clear hard coated sheet that has been designed to
give enhanced chemical and abrasion resistance to Polycarbonate and grant Anti-Fog
protection (amongst other benef its). Glass-like in its appearance, the material maintains
the many benef its of Polycarbonate such as high impact strength but offers superior
surface performance.
PolyGuard™ Anti-Fog is a 3050mm x 2050mm coated Polycarbonate sheet available in a
range of thicknesses (1mm – 12mm) as standard.
