Super Abrasion Resistant (SAR) acrylic sheet is produced by applying a very hard, polysilicate coating to an acrylic substrate.
This coating provides SAR with a surface that has 45 times the abrasion resistance of uncoated acrylic, making it suitable for applications that require the safety (e.g. windscreens), optical (e.g. marine portholes) and aesthetic (e.g. sunroofs) qualities of acrylic along with a highly abrasion-resistant surface coating.
Advantages of SAR include:
- resistance to graffiti, chemicals and abrasion marking
- 10-year guarantee
- resistance to impact and shattering (5 times the impact resistance of glass)
- weatherability
- lightweight
- available in clear as well as colours and tints
- clarity, light transmission
- can be fabricated and drilled using conventional woodworking tools.
Allplastics is now supplying SAR acrylic sheeting.
