Plastic Laser Safety Windows
With developments made in absorbing dyes and plastics processing, plastic laser safety windows have become increasingly popular
in recent years. The main advantages of these products compared to “conventional” mineral glass laser safety windows is the
availability of larger sheets (up to 2 m × 3 m), their lower weight and price, and how easy they are to machine. To take into account the
realities of working with laser processing machines today, virtually all laservision plastic laser safety windows are certified in accord-
ance with EN 60825-4. In addition, for product comparison most of our windows are still tested additionally 10 seconds according to
EN 207.
