Lexan has better insulation properties than glass and is inherently high impact making it an excellent candidate for glazing for economical protection against breakage or intrusion. Opaque sheet options combine for ease of thermoforming or cold forming.
PolyTetraFluoroEthylene is a fluorocarbon-based polymer that is outstanding chemical resistance, a high temperature resistance, low coefficient of friction and non-abrasive properties. Teflon® is a familiar trade name for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) made by DuPont.
Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene is the standard for engineered polymers with a unique combination of wear and corrosion resistance, low friction surface and impact strength. Excellent resistance to chemical attack and moisture absorption, outstanding abrasion resistance and a low coefficient of friction.
Acrylic is a clear thermoplastic with about 92% transparency, making it useful in many optical applications. Unaffected by moisture it is also a good electrical insulator for low frequencies and has very good resistance for weathering. Acrylics are typically made by one of three processes, extrusion, continuously manufactured and casting.
