Plastskärm

Plastskärm is a Swedish term that translates to "plastic screen" or "plastic shield." It generally refers to a protective barrier or covering made from plastic material. The specific application and design of a plastskärm can vary widely depending on its intended purpose.

These screens are often used in industrial settings to protect workers from moving machinery, sparks, or flying debris. They can also be found in laboratories to contain spills or shield experiments. In the automotive industry, plastic screens are sometimes used as temporary protective coverings for parts during manufacturing or transport, or as aftermarket additions for visual customization.

The material properties of plastic make it a versatile choice for such applications. It can be transparent, allowing for visibility while maintaining a barrier, or opaque for complete shielding. Plastics are also often lightweight, durable, and resistant to certain chemicals, making them suitable for environments where metal or glass might be impractical or unsafe. The manufacturing process for plastic screens can range from simple molding to more complex fabrication techniques depending on the required shape and thickness. The term can also be used more broadly to describe any plastic partition or barrier used for separation or protection.
