plexiglass
Shatterproof transparent sheeting
Plexiglass is a transparent plastic used as a shatter-resistant alternative to glass.
The material appears in windows, display cases, protective barriers, and aircraft canopies.
The word derives from a brand name but is now used generically for any clear acrylic sheet: The store installed plexiglass at the checkout counters.
Also spelled Plexiglas.
