Antimicrobial
In the healthcare industry, antimicrobial protection and preventing the growth and spread of microbes — including odor and stain causing bacteria and fungi—can be particularly important. Antimicrobial protection is a distinct benefit in areas where cleanliness matters.
We have a range of products that have antimicrobial protection options — additives that continuously fight the growth and spread of microbes such as odor and stain causing bacteria, mold and mildew.
When bacteria comes into contact with antimicrobial surfaces, the antimicrobial function disrupts the bacterial cell wall killing or inhibiting bacterial growth. The result is that the surfaces of these products provides dependable and constant protection against bacterial contamination.

FAQ
What is abrasion-resistant polycarbonate?
Abrasion-resistant polycarbonate is a type of polycarbonate material that has been treated or coated to enhance its resistance to scratches and wear, making it ideal for applications where durability is crucial.
What are the benefits of using abrasion-resistant polycarbonate?
Abrasion-resistant polycarbonate offers superior durability, high impact resistance, excellent clarity, and long-term performance in harsh environments. It is less likely to scratch or wear compared to standard polycarbonate, making it ideal for protective covers, lenses, and glazing applications.
What applications are best suited for abrasion-resistant polycarbonate?
This material is ideal for applications such as safety and security glazing, machine guards, protective covers for electronic displays, automotive headlamps, and optical lenses, where both clarity and resistance to abrasion are essential.
Can abrasion-resistant polycarbonate be cut and machined?
Yes, abrasion-resistant polycarbonate can be cut, drilled, and machined using standard tools, but care must be taken to avoid damaging the protective coating. It is recommended to use sharp tools and proper techniques to maintain the material’s integrity.
Is abrasion-resistant polycarbonate UV resistant?
Many abrasion-resistant polycarbonate sheets also include UV protection, which helps prevent yellowing and degradation from prolonged exposure to sunlight, making them suitable for outdoor applications.
Can abrasion-resistant polycarbonate be used for high-temperature applications?
Abrasion-resistant polycarbonate retains its physical properties over a wide temperature range, typically from -40°F to 250°F (-40°C to 121°C), making it suitable for many high-temperature applications.
