TUFFAK 15 polycarbonate sheet EXTENDED ABRASION AND UV RESISTANCE TUFFAK 15 sheet is a polycarbonate product that offers excellent impact resistance in high risk areas weathering life and optical quality. It provides a clear aesthetic advantage over wire glass and metal screens for security glazing. TUFFAK 15 protects against vandalism forced entry attempts or attacks and accidental impacts to minimize the risk of theft and glass replacement in damage prone areas. Advanced manufacturing technology has resulted in high optical quality with minimal distortion in clear and standard glazing tints. The abrasion resistant coating applied to both sides provides up to twice the life of prior polycarbonate sheet products. TUFFAK 15 sheet has a fifteen 15 year Limited Product Warranty against breakage yellowing and loss of light transmission. The terms of the warranty are available upon request.
