- Durable; resistant to corrosion, chemicals/solvents, and rust
- Preferred material wherever frequent cleaning and sterilization are required
[-SD] Static-Dissipative PVC
- Transparent with blue-gray tint
- Safely conducts surface charges to ground, protects against particle aggregation
- Broad chemical resistance for easy sterilization
[-PC] Polycarbonate
- Transparent with slight gray tint
- Offers high impact and thermal resistance (to 200°F / 93.3°C)
[-BA] Black Acrylic (with transparent acrylic sash)
