PALGARD 3X Scratch & Abrasion-Resistant Polycarbonate Sheets

Abrasion-resistant Polycarbonate Sheet for High Traffic Interiors

PALGARD 3X is an abrasion resistant polycarbonate sheet for interior and short-term exterior applications. Its advanced surface coating provides excellent chemical and abrasion resistance, enabling frequent cleaning, easy removal of graffiti, and increased durability in high traffic areas. PALGARD 3X is impact resistant for increased safety and security – nearly 200 times stronger than glass, yet half the weight – which also makes it easier to install.
