Polycast® Acryshield® Sheet, Bullet Resistant

Polycast® Acryshield® is a monolithic cell-cast acrylic sheet engineered for ballistic protection without sacrificing the optical quality that makes acrylic the preferred glazing for public-facing security applications. Unlike laminated constructions, Acryshield is a single homogeneous sheet — there are no interlayers to delaminate, cloud, or yellow at the edges over time. It delivers greater than 90% light transmission for clear, distortion-free sightlines through thick sections, meets Building Code Class CC2 and ANSI Z97.1 safety glazing requirements, and is available with an optional Polycast SAR™ (Super Abrasion Resistant) coating for surfaces exposed to frequent cleaning and public contact.

Acryshield is specified for teller and transaction windows, pharmacy and dispensary counters, cashier and ticket booths, reception and security screens, convenience store and check-cashing enclosures, and government and institutional glazing. Its clarity and light weight relative to laminated glass make it practical for retrofits and for large openings where structural loading is a concern, and it fabricates with conventional acrylic tooling using appropriate techniques for heavy sections. Ballistic performance is thickness-dependent and rated to UL 752 threat levels — confirm the required protection level and corresponding sheet thickness for your application, and follow the manufacturer's framing and installation requirements, since the glazing system and mounting method are as critical to real-world performance as the sheet itself.
