This clear shield extends the life of your TDG placards. Placed in front of the placard in the placard holder, it protects it from scuffs, abrasion, mud and weather. It also holds cardboard placards, which no longer blow out in wet or windy weather. Made of 0.040 in clear PETG, it keeps the whole placard visible and offers good impact resistance. Made in the United States, it is sold individually.

Protective shield applications

The shield suits trucks and trailers that travel in rain, snow or mud, and any placard exposed to the weather for a long time. It is especially useful with cardboard placards, which are more sensitive to moisture. It also serves as a replacement shield for the model (ECLAPREN), which already includes one.

Complete your display with the 10-3/4 in frame (ECLAP), the version (ECLAPREN) for severe conditions, and class placards such as the class 3 flammable (ECLA3) liquids placard.
