Also known as Pyrex and Schott glass, borosilicate sheets are heat resistant, clear, and have a super-smooth surface. They're used in a range of applications, from high-temperature viewports to 3D printing.

Wire reinforcement and an acrylic coating increase this glass's impact resistance. It's often used in doors.

Combining the transparency of glass with the high heat resistance of ceramic, glass ceramic withstands temperatures up to 1255° F and resists rapid temperature changes.

Cast acrylic is easier to machine than extruded acrylic. It's comparable to Lucite and Plexiglas® Acrylic.

A static-dissipative coating on this cast acrylic prevents electrostatic discharge from damaging sensitive electronic equipment.

Enhanced UV resistance makes this polycarbonate better than standard polycarbonate for outdoor use.

Often used in security doors and windows to protect against forced entry, this laminated polycarbonate is nearly impenetrable.
