Why Hard-Coated?
Standard polycarbonate provides excellent impact protection but suffers from surface degradation over time due to cleaning, sand, or contact. Our hard-coated technology fuses a durable layer to the PC substrate, making it the perfect solution for Machine Guards, Visors, Windows in high-traffic areas, and Electronic Display Covers.
Key Applications
Industrial: CNC machine window guards, industrial automation covers.
Transportation: Off-road vehicle windshields, motorcycle visors, train windows.
Retail/Display: Luxury store dividers, digital signage protectors, menu boards.
Security: Police shields, prison glazing, bank counter shields.
