Tuffak®️ AMGARD™️ is a clear antimicrobial polycarbonate sheet engineered for long-lasting antimicrobial surface protection on high-touch barriers and glazing. It helps keep surfaces cleaner between routine cleaning, resists impact far better than glass and is ideal for safety shields, partitions and screens in healthcare, transport, retail and public-facing environments.
Safety Shields can help prevent the spread of airborne illnesses by creating a physical barrier between people, but they also present a surface for microorganisms to grow. Silver ion antimicrobial technology protects AMGARD surfaces from degradation by preventing the spread and growth of microorganisms. The technology is built into AMGARD during the manufacturing process and remains active for the life of the product.
Certified laboratories have independently tested AMGARD to ISO 22196 “Measurement of Antimicrobial Activity on Plastics / Non-Porous Surfaces” – the industry standard for measuring Antimicrobial activity on Plastics and confirmed a reduction in the growth of microorganisms on the sheet surface.

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.

AMGARD™ uses an antimicrobial technology integrated into/onto the sheet, creating a surface that inhibits the growth of microbes (that can cause stains, odours and surface degradation).
Note: Antimicrobial protection is not a substitute for regular cleaning and disinfection. It helps keep the sheet surface cleaner between cleanings.
AMGARD™ is a polycarbonate base; standard grades offer good mar resistance typical of PC. If your installation faces high abrasion, ask about hard-coated Tuffak® AR or pairing strategies to improve wear performance.
Yes. It can be cut, drilled, and routed using standard polycarbonate practices.
AMGARD™ is offered in multiple thicknesses and sheet sizes. Provide your panel dimensions, mounting method, and impact/environmental requirements, and we’ll recommend a thickness/grade and supply a data sheet.
Tuffak® AMGARD™ Antimicrobial Polycarbonate Sheet combines antimicrobial surface technology, optical clarity, and polycarbonate impact strength to create durable, easy-to-clean hygienic glazing for healthcare, labs, education, retail, offices, and transport. With shatter resistance, low weight, and fabrication flexibility, AMGARD™ is a premium choice for long-lasting, hygienic transparent partitions and windows.
