About this Manufacturer
All Brands

GAT Technologies is the importer, stockist and distributor for the Plaskolite range of high performance polycarbonate sheet and laminate products.

This includes products such as Tuffak Abrasion Resistant AR (AR2) Hard Coated polycarbonate sheet, Tuffak 15 (formerly Makrolon 15) Extended Abrasion and UV resistant polycarbonate sheet, Tuffak Marine 5 (formerly Makrolon Marine 5) Abrasion and UV resistant for marine applications and the complete range of Tuffak Hygard (formerly Makrolon Hygard) polycarbonate and glass clad polycarbonate laminates.

Tuffak Hygard laminated polycarbonate sheet products were developed for the most demanding safety and security applications and meets AS/NZS 2343:1997 G0, G1 and G2, UL 752 Level I, II, III, and VI for Ballistics and HP White TP0500 level I, II, IV and V for attack. Hygard laminated polycarbonate sheet offers excellent strength to weight ratios and is ideally suited for transparent glazing in the Architectural, Security and Forestry Glazing markets. Hygard products either meet or exceed the performance of competitive products and are backed by industry-leading warranties.

All Hygard products incorporate Tuffak polycarbonate sheet produced for high optical quality in security glazing laminates. Exterior surfaces have a proprietary Tuffak AR (AR2) abrasion resistant hardcoat that facilitates cleaning and resists abrasion, chemical attack, and graffiti.

Unlike glass-clad products, Makrolon Hygard® all-polycarbonate laminates resists spalling and white-out after repeated high force and ballistic impacts, an advantage in maintaining visibility of a threat during an attack.

Applications

Architectural, OEM, Industrial, Security, Transportation, Recreation, Sign application, Forestry Glazing, Mining, Jails, detention centers, psychiatric hospitals, reception areas, convenience stores, cheque cashing, Government and detention facilities, banks, heavy equipment glazing, specialty retailers, 24 hour convenience stores, cash transaction windows.

Many Australian banks, police stations, youth detention centres, prisons and other government facilities have our Tuffak polycarbonate sheet installed as their preferred material for safety and security glazing and we have played our part in protecting the welfare of our Australian citizens by supplying our polycarbonate sheeting and laminate to various Australian Federal Government overseas embassies and institutions.
