PSS-1000 Optical Sheet Advanced Performance PSS-1000 optical sheet is one of the toughest optical plastics available. In addition to exceptional impact resistance PSS-1000 sheet offers superior optical properties ultra-lightweight performance outstanding chemical resistance and thermal stability. IMPACT RESISTANCE LIGHTWEIGHT PERFORMANCE The impact resistance of PSS-1000 sheet outperforms other transparent plastics. The strength and toughness of the material make PSS-1000 sheet an outstanding choice for any application requiring enhanced protection. General impact resistance exceeds polycarbonate Resistance to ballistic threats is more than 40 better than the competitive materials PSS-1000 sheet is ultra-lightweight for added convenience and flexibility. Lower density than polycarbonate acrylic Half the weight of glass BALLISTIC PERFORMANCE Demonstrates 40 improvement vs. polycarbonate Ballistic performance remains stable across typical temperature ranges -40C to 60C PRECISION OPTICS One of the most distinctive attributes of PSS-1000 sheet is its optical performance. High light transmission value Low haze value No optical defects resulting from black specks 0.22 Caliber 17 Grain Fragment Simulated Projectile Sheet Thickness TEMP UNITS PSS-1000 23C ft s 1282 60C ft s 1267 -40C ft s lbs ft 2 802 23C 2 ft s lbs ft 890 60C ft s lbs ft 880 -40C EXTREME DURABILITY V50 Few other engineered plastics can match the chemical and thermal stability of PSS-1000 sheet.
