Impact-resistant polycarbonate and food-grade PETGFire-resistant plastics with fire class bs1d0From construction and interiors to engineering and airports
Show products made of 100% recycled plastic.
Acrylic is crystal clear, 25 times stronger than glass and available in many colours, thicknesses and surface textures. Acrylic has the EN13501 fire classification. This material is also very easy to process.
Polycarbonate is highly impact-resistant and is even 250 times stronger than glass. You choose polycarbonate if the plastic needs to be extra hufterproof and unbreakable. This material is less clear compared to acrylic. Polycarbonate is available in clear and in some colours. This material has a better fire rating than acrylic namely Bs1d0. This plastic cannot always be lasered. Polycarbonate is also known by the brand names Makrolon and Lexan.
The plastic PETG is European food-grade certified, chemical-resistant and is the only plastic allowed in public areas such as airports. In addition, PETG is impact-resistant and has the same fire certification as polycarbonate. PETG is not UV-resistant and can yellow if used outdoors. PETG is an extrusion product and therefore has no thickness tolerance. This material is available in clear and in some colour variations. PETG is also known by the brand name Vivak.
