Advanced Hard-Coated Polycarbonate and PMMA
Polycarbonate (PC) is an excellent solution for infrastructure applications that face frequent exposure to potential damage, such as stone hits or vandalism. Polycarbonate is 200 more impact resistant compared to traditional glass and therefore extremely safe and durable glazing solution - making it virtually unbreakable. Aikon® PC offers unmatched durability, ensuring long-lasting performance even under the most challenging circumstances.
Acrylic (PMMA), on the other hand, is known for its natural UV resistance and optical clarity. PMMA not only provides a clear, high-visibility solution but also stands up to the harsh effects of sunlight without yellowing or degrading.
Both our PC and PMMA materials are enhanced with advanced hard-coating technology, which creates a protective surface that significantly improves abrasion, UV, and chemical resistance. This hard coating not only extends the lifespan of our products but also reduces maintenance costs, making them a cost-effective solution for various infrastructure projects.
Infrastructure applications for Aikon® glazing solutions
Our hard-coated polycarbonate and acrylic glazing solutions are versatile and can be used across a wide range of infrastructure applications:
Transparent noise and wind barriers
Aikon® glazing solutions are perfect for noise reduction, they reduce noise levels up to 34 dB and block wind effectively. Noise and wind barriers made of Aikon® materials are resistant to UV radiation and stones thrown by traffic. Transparent noise and wind barriers are commonly used along highways and railways to protect surrounding residential areas from noise pollution.
Bus shelters and travel centers
PC and PMMA are ideal for bus shelters and travel centers, such as train and bus stations. They offer clear visibility for safety and navigation while standing up to daily wear and tear. Aikon® glazing solutions are safe solution due to their high impact resistance and they are easy to maintain and clean.
Road and railway bridges
Durable glazing on bridges offers both safety and aesthetic appeal, ensuring that pedestrian pathways and vehicle passages remain clear and protected. Therefore Aikon® PC and PMMA are perfect match to them.
Vandalism-proof fencing
Our virtually unbreakable polycarbonate is perfect for fencing solutions in areas prone to vandalism, offering a strong, protective barrier that is difficult to breach. Aikon® glazing is also an excellent solution for falling protection.
Protective shields for railways
Our high-quality PC and PMMA are used in protective shields along railways, ensuring the safety of passengers and railway personnel while maintaining transparency and durability.
