Bullet Resistant Glazing

MAKROLON HYGARD® bullet resistant glazing from Sheffield Plastics Inc., a Bayer MaterialScience Company, offers bullet resistant containment up to UL 752 Level 3. It also offers optical clarity and abrasion resistance. In an independent ASTM 1044-99 Taber Test, after 100 cycles using a 500 gram load, the MAKROLON HYGARD exceptional scratch-resistant coating showed 67% less haze than a competitive sheet.

MAKROLON HYGARD BR laminates accomplish this with three products: BR750, BR1000 and BR1250. The BR750 is a three-ply MAKROLON polycarbonate sheet with an acrylic interlayer suited for security applications requiring UL Listed Level 1 bullet resisting glazing. The BR1000 is a four-ply MAKROLON polycarbonate sheet manufactured for use in security applications requiring UL Listed Level 2 bullet resisting glazing. The BR1250 is also a four-ply MAKROLON polycarbonate sheet suited for high level security applications requiring UL Listed Level 3 bullet resisting glazing.

All three products are clear, with custom colors available upon request, and sizes range from 38”-60” in width and 60”-96” in height, with custom sizes available.
