FORM/TEC Plastics began in                                      1975. A family business started by William and                                          Jacki Shields; FORM/TEC began making their                                        patented Silhouette Fairing System                                                     for motorcycles.  This                                                                    acrylic fairing was an immediate                                                                    success, forever changing                                                                    the motorcycle windscreenfield.                                                                          Using years of experience,                                                                               FORM/TEC expanded from                                                                             forming acrylic parts                                                                                    (for all types of                                                                                            industry) and                                                                                                  general vacuum                                                                                          forming      of all                                                                                                 plastics,   to                                                                                                   include     the                                                                                             forming          of                                                                   polycarbonate optically correct.                                       Polycarbonate, the world’s strongest optical plastic, is difficult to work with (to form optically correct) and the surface readily scratches.  To address both issues, FORM/TEC introduced the SHIELDS^® line of optically formed polycarbonate, protected with their exclusive SUPERCOAT™ hard-coat, and often their permanent ANTI-FOG coating.  The combination of strength and clarity with abrasion and chemical resistance levels near that of glass, make SHIELDS^® windshields highly demanded.  SHIELDS^® products are used in many industries; from lightweight faceshields to 3/4” thick monolithic windshields.  SHIELDS^® products can be found worldwide, serving the needs of customers that demand optical quality, protection, innovative engineering, and satisfying customer service.
