Arla SAPHIR® PC Sheet
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polycarbonate (PC); Polycarbonate, Extruded
Material Notes:	SAPHIR® is hard coated polycarbonate sheet with glass like appearance suitable for flat applications. The high impact strength of polycarbonate is combined with improved weather and chemical resistance. The product offers protection against abrasion compared to standard plastic sheets. SAPHIR® is resistant to many of the most common chemicals, and the hard coat also provides an excellent protection against graffiti and vandalism. SAPHIR® weighs about half of standard glass, yet the product is virtually unbreakable. SAPHIR® has an outstanding clarity, the hard coat improves the light transmission of the polycarbonate sheet. Benefits: Abrasion and Impact Resistant; Chemical Resistance; UV Stability; High optical quality and outstanding clarity; More than 10 times the impact strength of high impact PMMA Application: Anti-vandal glazing, security glazing, safety screens and acoustic screens, Industrial equipment (machine coverings, machine protections), Indoor and outdoor signs, vending machine faces and many different kinds of technical parts.
