Abrasion Resistant Acrylic

POLYCAST SAR

PROVEN APPLICATIONS:

  • Architectural glazing
  • Display cases
  • Security glazing, including bank teller stations

  • Sports and recreation glazing including basketball backboards
  • Racketball backwalls and Zoo glazing
  • Vehicle glazing including vehicle sunroofs
  • Equipment faces and covers

POLYCAST SAR combines the physical characteristics of cast acrylic sheet with an abrasion resistant, cleanable surface. POLYCAST SAR gets its super hard, glass-like surface from a coating of cross-linked polysilicate resin. In addition to outstanding abrasion resistance, POLYCAST SAR offers enhanced chemical resistance from standard acrylic sheet. POLYCAST SAR has limited formability, information on forming techniques is available upon request.

POLYCAST SAR is available
