Safety & Security

WINDOWS, ENTRYWAYS, & CASHIER GLAZING

Polymers prove highly effective in safeguarding people from natural disasters and physical threats, including assaults, bullets, and bomb blasts. Fabricated plastics find applications in wearable armor and safety barriers, offering a resilient defense mechanism. Unlike glass, plastics possess the unique ability to absorb shock by converting impact energy into heat. This characteristic allows polymer materials to bend rather than shatter, providing enhanced protection.

Performance plastic not only offers superior safety benefits but is also more energy-efficient compared to glass. When employed in barriers such as bank windows and detention center glazing, it contributes to lowering the carbon footprint of businesses and institutions.

TRANSPORTATION

Plastics play a vital role in enhancing the safety, comfort, and fuel efficiency of various modes of transportation, including trains, buses, boats, planes, ATVs, and RVs. Their durability and reduced weight contribute significantly to these improvements. In the unfortunate event of a collision, certain polymers exhibit impact- and fire-resistant properties, offering enhanced protection for both passengers and drivers.

For everyday comfort, plastics provide sound dampening effects, creating a more enjoyable experience for passengers and commuters. The versatility of plastics also allows for clear communication and aesthetically pleasing interiors within commuter vehicles, offering a wide array of colors and graphic capabilities. Furthermore, plastics can be manipulated to create intricate fabricated or thermoformed parts, adding a layer of complexity to design possibilities.

RETAIL & CONVENIENCE

Food, fuel, and finances are essential commodities that keep our economy moving. Companies are utilizing a variety of clear materials to limit exposure and business interruptions.

MEDICAL & HEALTHCARE

For Hospital, Dental, Surgical, & Veterinary Facilities, antimicrobial polymers are perfect performers in protecting surfaces against bacteria, especially for clean rooms, laboratories, administrative stations, restrooms, mobile carts, and nursing homes.
