Aug. 11, 2010

Glazing offers bullet-resistant containment up to UL 752 Level 3 and greater optical clarity and more abrasion resistance than competing polycarbonate sheets. In an independent ASTM 1044-99 Taber Test, after 100 cycles using a 500-gram load, Makrolon Hygard showed 67% less haze than the competitive sheets.
