TUFFAK® HYGARD The Ultimate Security Product

TUFFAK® HYGARD AR
Combines technology with the latest security glazing
techniques for high level security and cost effective
installation. Increasing violent crime, readily available
weapons, and larger glazed areas in modern detention
center designs have created a need for higher
performing security glazing materials. Sheffield Plastics
has developed TUFFAK® HYGARD to meet this need.
Consisting of multiple layers of polycarbonate or
polycarbonate/acrylic with bonding interlayers, these

“None Tougher”, yet lightweight materials, offer
proven resistance to physical and ballistic attack.
Additionally, the relative light weight of TUFFAK®
HYGARD laminates, combined with easy on-site
fabrication, give you a competitive edge on remodeling
or retrofit projects where timely job completion is
essential.

Sheffield offers TUFFAK® HYGARD laminates in
six levels of protection ranging from containment
rated sheet to UL Level 3 bullet resistant material
capable of withstanding multiple rounds fired from
super powered handguns. All TUFFAK® HYGARD
laminated products feature hard coated surfaces for
exceptional resistance to abrasion and UV
degradation and are covered by a limited warranty
against coating failure, excessive yellowing, and structural
delamination caused by manufacturing defects.

TUFFAK® HYGARD® MS 1250 ballistic grade is a 1.250”, 4-ply acrylic and polycarbonate laminate that meets UL 752 Level 6 rating for high speed multishot 9-mm (Uzi) ballistic attack. All Hygard products incorporate Tuffak ® polycarbonate sheet produced for high optical quality in security glazing laminates. Exterior surfaces have a proprietary Tuffak AR hardcoat that facilitates cleaning and resists marring, chemical and graffiti attack. Hygard MS 1250 sheet has a seven year limited product warranty against coating failure, yellowing and hazing.
