Technical Data Sheet

TDSBB 1021

We are the UK suppliers of this unique product which

provides a combination of bullet resistance and extreme

physical attack protection.

Lexgard is a multi layered polycarbonate which has

undergone extensive independent testing and is used in

some of the most hostile areas around the world.

We are the UK distributors for this bullet resistant attack

polycarbonate and can supply this either in full sheet

sizes or cut to your finished dimensions direct from the

factory.

Unlike traditional glass products this polycarbonate can

be drilled and cut on site using the correct equipment.

It is also available with coloured options (see attached

data information) and its scratch resistant surfaces make

cleaning straight forward.

Full sheet sizes:

• 4’ x 4’ = 1220mm x 1220mm

• 4’ x 5’ = 1220mm x 1524

• 4’ x 6’ = 1220mm x 1829mm

• 4’ x 8’ = 1220mm x 2440mm

• 5’ x 8’ = 1524mm x 2440mm

• 6’ x 8’ = 1829mm x 2440mm

Cut sizes and larger sizes are also available in all materials

Lexgard Polycarbonate Cleaning Instructions

Lexgard Polycarbonates must be handled and cleaned properly during the installation process. Glass and polycarbonate products can be permanently damaged if improperly handled and cleaned.

Uniformly apply a mild solution of soap and water or a non-abrasive commercial window washing solution to the surface using applicator methods. Remove all liquid from the surface with a soft flannel or cotton cloth immediately following the application of the cleaning solutions.

Care should be taken to ensure that no metal, sand, or foreign particles become trapped between the cloth and the substrate. These particles, if allowed to contact the glass or polycarbonate surface, will mar and damage the glazing.

All cleaning solutions should be dried from the window gaskets and sealants to avoid the potential for deterioration as a result of the cleaning process. Do not apply cleaners in direct sunlight or at elevated temperatures. Do not use razor blades or squeegees to clean hard to remove substances.

Do not use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners. Benzene, gasoline, acetone, MEK, and carbon tetrachloride should never be used on polycarbonate surfaces. Assume materials are not compatible unless otherwise stated.

Cleaning agents found to be compatible with polycarbonates are as follows:

Compatible Cleaners and Detergents

• Formula 409 • Joy • Windex with Ammonia D • Palmolive • Naphtha VM& P Grade • Isopropyl Alcohol

Lexgard has Abrasion Resistant Coatings on

each side but do NOT use abrasive

materials to clean this product.

The surface coatings are Abrasion

Resistant, giving superior surface

protection compared to other materials

but follow the cleaning instructions

carefully to ensure that this product has a

long trouble free service life.
