Safety is one of the highest priorities when dividing a large room into individual work areas. PL Systems Inc. curtains use a Modacrylic material as a major percentage of the curtain content. In addition to Modacrylic Self Extinguishing Fabric, SEF, (38%), our curtains contain Saran Flat Monofilament, (30%) for curtain strength, Viscose Rayon (26%) for softness and Polyester (6%) to prevent wrinkles. The back side of the curtain made of vinyl to prevent light penetration.
The properties of this material lend itself as an ideal product to be used in many Laboratories such as Laser Labs Class I-IV Darkroom/Blackout applications, Infra-Red, Ultra-Violet Measurement, Gene Separation Silver Halide and many others.
