Tuffak Hygard laminated polycarbonate sheet products were developed for the most demanding safety and security applications and meets AS/NZS 2343:1997 G0, G1 and G2, UL 752 Level I, II, III, and VI for Ballistics and HP White TP0500 level I, II, IV and V for attack. Hygard laminated polycarbonate sheet offers excellent strength to weight ratios and is ideally suited for transparent glazing in the Architectural, Security and Forestry Glazing markets. Hygard products either meet or exceed the performance of competitive products and are backed by industry-leading warranties.
All Hygard products incorporate Tuffak polycarbonate sheet produced for high optical quality in security glazing laminates. Exterior surfaces have a proprietary Tuffak AR (AR2) abrasion resistant hardcoat that facilitates cleaning and resists abrasion, chemical attack, and graffiti.
Unlike glass-clad products, Makrolon Hygard® all-polycarbonate laminates resists spalling and white-out after repeated high force and ballistic impacts, an advantage in maintaining visibility of a threat during an attack.

Safety Shields can help prevent the spread of airborne illnesses by creating a physical barrier between people, but they also present a surface for microorganisms to grow. Silver ion antimicrobial technology protects AMGARD surfaces from degradation by preventing the spread and growth of microorganisms. The technology is built into AMGARD during the manufacturing process
and remains active for the life of the product.
