What is polycarbonate?
Polycarbonate is durable, lightweight, with a high impact-resistance.
It’s a great alternative to glass.
Leading development of electronic display screens, replacing glass with hard coated polycarbonate.
Although it has a high impact-resistance, unfortunately it suffers when it comes to scratch resistance.
However, applying an abrasion resistant hard coat to polycarbonate provides a harder surface.
This enables it to be used in a wider variety of applications.
What are the benefits of hard coated polycarbonate?
Benefits of hard coated polycarbonate include:
- Double side hard coated for maximum protection
- Improved Optical transmission over standard polycarbonates
- Excellent print adhesion achieved
- Outstanding machining properties
- Sheet size: 975mm x 950mm
Which hard coated polycarbonate should I choose?
As we know, adding a hard coat to polycarbonate broadens its uses.
But which hard coated material should you choose?
Soni™ Optical Grade Hard Coated Polycarbonate is exclusive to Panel Graphic.
It provides abrasion resistance:
Making it the obvious substrate choice for electronic display screens that are exposed to harsher environments.
It’s available in multiple thickness from 0.5mm, in single or double sided coatings.
It’s the only reliable choice when quality really matters.
