Sheffield Plastics, a Bayer MaterialScience LLC business based here, will feature a technologically-advanced glazing products line-up that includes new blast-resistant materials at the AIA Expo in June.

Designated Makrolon? Hygard EX, the blast-resistant products exceed the current GSA and DoD anti-terrorism force protection standards, including those with the highest defined levels of pressure loads and shock waves.

According to Karl Wiecking, Product Manager for Hygard EX, the materials afford unique performance features not available with glass systems.
