Safety & Security

Face shields and protective eyewear play a vital role in safeguarding workers across healthcare, manufacturing, laboratories, industrial facilities, and other demanding environments. To ensure user safety and comfort, face shield materials must provide excellent visibility, high impact resistance, and long-term durability while maintaining optical clarity during extended periods of use.

LEXAN™ polycarbonate films and sheets are engineered for high-performance face and eye protection applications. Combining exceptional impact resistance with excellent optical clarity, lightweight construction, and specialised surface technologies, they help manufacturers produce face shields and protective visors that perform reliably in demanding environments. Depending on the application, LEXAN™ materials are available with anti-fog, abrasion-resistant, scratch-resistant, UV-resistant, and chemical-resistant properties to enhance visibility and extend product life.

Designed for easy fabrication and excellent dimensional stability, LEXAN™ materials support the production of durable face shields that provide reliable protection while maintaining wearer comfort across healthcare, industrial, laboratory, and safety applications.

Laminated security glazing systems are designed to provide enhanced protection against forced entry, vandalism, ballistic threats, and accidental impact while maintaining excellent optical clarity. By combining glass with high-performance polycarbonate sheets, these engineered glazing systems deliver increased safety and security for applications where conventional glazing may not provide adequate protection.

LEXAN™ polycarbonate sheet solutions are specifically developed for glass lamination applications, offering exceptional impact resistance, outstanding optical quality, and long-term durability. When incorporated into laminated glazing systems, they help improve occupant safety while maintaining transparency and reducing the risk of dangerous glass fragmentation. Dedicated lamination-grade sheets are also available with hard-coated surfaces to provide enhanced abrasion resistance and long-term optical performance.

Used in security glazing for commercial buildings, financial institutions, government facilities, transportation infrastructure, and other high-security environments, LEXAN™ laminated solutions provide reliable performance as part of engineered glazing systems designed to meet demanding security requirements.

Machine guards are essential for protecting operators while maintaining clear visibility of machinery and manufacturing processes. Used across CNC machines, automated production lines, robotic systems, and industrial equipment, protective guards must provide reliable impact protection, excellent optical clarity, and long-term durability without compromising productivity or ease of maintenance.

LEXAN™ polycarbonate sheet solutions offer a dependable alternative to traditional glazing materials for machine guarding applications. Their exceptional impact resistance, lightweight construction, and excellent optical clarity help manufacturers produce durable protective enclosures that improve operator safety while allowing continuous monitoring of equipment. Depending on the application and operating environment, general-purpose sheet grades are available for standard machine guards, while hard-coated solutions provide enhanced resistance to scratches, abrasion, chemicals, and repeated cleaning in demanding industrial environments.

Designed for ease of fabrication and long-term performance, LEXAN™ materials are widely used in machine guarding applications across manufacturing, automation, packaging, material handling, and industrial processing industries.

Government-issued identity documents and secure credentials demand materials that provide exceptional durability, security, and manufacturing precision. As identity programmes continue to evolve, manufacturers require high-performance materials capable of supporting advanced security features while maintaining consistent quality, long service life, and compliance with stringent international standards.

LEXAN™ polycarbonate films are engineered specifically for secure identification documents, offering excellent dimensional stability, high optical quality, and controlled shrinkage for precision lamination. Designed to support sophisticated security features such as laser engraving, transparent windows, embedded electronics, and multi-layer card construction, these films enable manufacturers to produce durable, tamper-resistant credentials that withstand everyday wear while protecting sensitive information. Their excellent resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and environmental exposure further helps extend the service life of security documents.

From national identity programmes and electronic passports to driver's licences, healthcare cards, and secure access credentials, LEXAN™ Security & ID films provide reliable performance for applications where document integrity, durability, and protection against counterfeiting are essential.

The LEXAN™ Security & ID Card Film portfolio includes specialised film grades for different layers within a secure document, including clear laser-markable layers, bright white core layers, transparent overlays, flexible coated overlays, and co-extruded films. The portfolio is engineered to deliver low shrinkage, tight gauge tolerances, excellent optical quality, and high durability, enabling manufacturers to produce secure, tamper-resistant identification documents with advanced security features.

Commercial grades include SD8B14, SD8B24, SD8B94, SC8A12E, SD8A12, SD14UV, and SDCX Co-Extruded Film, among others.
