Product spotlight
  • AMGARD antimicrobial polycarbonate and acrylic is a transparent sheet formulated with a silver ion antimicrobial agent that protects the surface from microorganism growth. The antimicrobial technology is built into AMGARD during the manufacturing process and remains active for the life of the product. Two 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. Available in both acrylic and polycarbonate sheet, along with AMGARD SR, a scratch resistant formulation.
  • TUFFAK CA polycarbonate sheet is the first of its kind sheet that meets International Building Code Class A flammability rating for interior wall and ceiling applications. This sheet product is virtually unbreakable, has high temperature resistance, high clarity and passes the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) 286 flammability requirement “Standard Methods of Fire Tests for Evaluating Contribution of Wall and Ceiling Interior Finish to Room Fire Growth.” Available in clear, bronze and gray, this sheet is ideal for wall cladding for added surface protection.
  • OPTIX DA digital acrylic provides optimal adhesion of UV curing inks without the application of adhesion promoters or other costly, labor intensive treatments during the prepress process. OPTIX DA allows for high-quality, vibrantly colored prints without sacrificing the outstanding optical clarity offered by acrylic sheet. Clear, white and non-glare options available.
  • OPTIX L continuous cast acrylic sheet has been a long time favorite for designers, retailers and point-of-purchase applications because of its superior craze resistance, unmatched edge finish and flawless optical quality.
  • VIVAK PETG is available in a broad thickness range from .020″ to .500″ and is stocked in a variety of sheet sizes. VIVAK complies with the FDA requirements for continuous food contact, and meets the requirements of ANSI Z87.1 (Occupational and Educational Personal Eye and Face Protection Devices).
  • ABS sheet by Plaskolite is produced with only the highest quality recycled product and has a 100 percent virgin cap layer. ABS offers excellent impact strength and ease in fabrication. Stocked in black and white colors, with a Haircell pattern on one side; smooth finish on the reverse. Available in a thickness range from .060″ to .236″.
