Opal Axgard® sheet products are specified where a high degree of strength is required to protect against impact and provide a safe glazing solution in the place of glass. The Opal Axgard® material is extruded from a polymer resin which is approximately 200 times stronger than glass of the same thickness and is therefore classed as virtually unbreakable. Unlike many other plastic glazing options, Axgard® sheets are manufactured with an additional layer which protects the material from degradation due to the effects of ultra violet light.
Axgard® Opal is manufactured in thicknesses from 2mm to 12mm as standard, and is probably the largest range of standard sheet sizes of its product type globally.
