See-through Machine Guards add Safety to the Maintenance Season.

Safeguard PC is the strongest and safest "see through" medium available. It has a shock load resistance 250 times that of glass and more than 40 times that of acrylic clear sheet. It is the perfect material for industry safety shield applications. December News Image 1Particularly suitable for companies upgrading safety compliance measures over December-January maintenance season. Safeguard PC  can be fabricated to function as a customised see- through machine guard.

The tough but lightweight Safeguard PC is easy to handle and suitable for use in machine surrounds and as protective panels in applications traditionally served by similar material. In addition to outstanding strength and impact resistance, transparent Safeguard panels enhance safety and save time by keeping functioning machinery in full view.

Where Safeguard PC is installed, the chances of accidents from contact with machinery moving parts are dramatically reduced. Safeguard PC is a vital shield.

Safeguard PC is an easy to fabricate material. It will give you the confidence of SAFE employee protection suited to your equipment.
• Cutting - This can be done using circular saws, band saws, hole saws, power jig saws, shears and guillotines.
Drilling - Holes can be drilled using standard drill bits used for metal work.
• Bending
- panels can be cold formed using a metal bending brake press or panels can be sent by means of pipe heater strips at 160°C - 200
°C.

TURNING - MILLING - ROUTING - TAPPING - FILING - GRINDING - POLISHING - BONDING

Can all be easily performed on Safeguard PC. Never use oil emulsions or cutting oils as these lead to stress cracking. For further advice contact your nearest DOTMAR office.

Safeguard PC is also an excellent clear medium in SAFETY / SECURITY applications to protect against vandalism and robbery. Safeguard is an imperative for safety conscious designers and managers.
