CLAREX Anti-Bacterial Acrylic Sheets (AB)
Hygienic, optical-grade acrylic sheets with a surface coating that inhibits bacterial reproduction.
CLAREX anti-bacterial (AB) acrylic is a hygienic window and cover sheet designed for high-touch, high-visibility environments. It features a unique surface coating that inhibits the reproduction of bacteria on the surface, helping support cleaner touchpoints on displays, panels, and protective viewing windows.
Built for real-world use, CLAREX AB also offers scratch resistance and chemical resistance to stand up to routine cleaning and frequent handling. This makes it a strong fit for public-facing equipment and medical or laboratory settings where clarity, durability, and hygiene all matter.
Benefits of CLAREX Anti-Bacterial Acrylic Sheets:
- Prevents Bacterial Growth on Surfaces – Helps inhibit bacterial reproduction on the sheet surface for cleaner, more hygienic touchpoints.
- High Optical Clarity and Transmission – Excellent light transmission and visual clarity for display, viewing, and filter applications.
- Scratch-Resistant Durability – More resistant to surface wear to help maintain appearance and performance over time.
- Impact-Resistant Performance – Built to handle demanding public-facing, industrial, and high-traffic environments.
- Reduced Glare Option – Available with a non-glare texture to minimize reflections and improve visibility under bright lighting.
- Custom Color Matching Available – Color can be matched to your requirements for branded, coded, or design-specific applications.

Finished Parts
Anti-bacterial sheets can be fabricated and finished to customer specifications for optical and protective components.
Customization
Custom sheets & parts to meet the needs of your applications.
Build your own sheets. CLAREX anti-bacterial acrylic can be fully customized to meet your application requirements. Select thickness, formulation, additives, pigments, surface textures (including non-glare), and surface or optical coatings for both low-volume programs and full-scale production to create acrylic sheets tailored to your application.
Typical lead time is 4–8 weeks. Finished parts and assemblies can also be fabricated to specification.
PRODUCT SPECS
Anti-Bacterial Acrylic Performance
These performance results demonstrate the effectiveness of the anti-bacterial surface coating in suppressing bacterial growth on high-touch acrylic surfaces. CLAREX anti-bacterial acrylic is commonly specified in applications where hygiene standards, surface durability, and optical clarity must be maintained simultaneously.
