Polycarbonate Windshields Engineered for Heavy Duty.
From Volvo construction machinery to aircraft canopies, we manufacture formed polycarbonate windshields through a full in-house process: extrusion, coating, printing, and thermoforming. One supplier. Zero compromises.

Volvo F-Series Runs Our Glass.
Volvo Construction Equipment’s F-Series wheel loaders and articulated haulers operate in the world’s harshest environments — arctic mines, desert quarries, tropical logging sites. Their cab windows face flying debris, extreme UV, subzero temperatures, and daily pressure washing with aggressive solvents.
Standard glass fails in these conditions — it cracks on impact, fogs in humidity swings, and scratches from grit on wiper blades. Our polycarbonate windshields solve all four problems at once: 250× the impact strength of tempered glass, UV-stabilized color that won’t yellow, super wear-resistant hard coating that survives wiper use, and thermoformed compound curves matched to OEM cabin geometry.
F-Series OEM Windshield Program
We manufacture the formed polycarbonate windshield assemblies for Volvo’s F-Series line through our complete in-house process: double-sided UV co-extruded colored sheet → super wear-resistant spray coating → screen-printed black border and defroster grid → precision thermoforming to cabin curvature. Every windshield ships with full material certification and lot traceability per IATF 16949 requirements.
Four Steps. One Factory.
Every windshield is made under one roof — no outsourced coating, no third-party forming. This vertical integration gives you single-source quality accountability and eliminates the coordination delays of multi-vendor supply chains.
- 1
Custom Color Extrusion — Double-Sided UV Co-Extrusion
We compound the polycarbonate resin with your specified color masterbatch, then co-extrude a UV-stabilized protective layer simultaneously on both surfaces. This locks the color into the sheet core — not a surface film that peels. Available in clear, bronze, grey, green, blue, and custom RAL colors.
- 2
Super Wear-Resistant Spray Coating
Our in-house spray line applies a silicone hard coat rated for windshield wiper use — unlike dip-coated panels that cloud when abrasives on wiper blades drag across the surface. Pencil hardness 2H-4H, passes 1,000 cycles Taber abrasion (ASTM D1044) with haze change under 5%. Optional anti-fog and ESD variants available.
- 3
Screen Printing — Borders, Defrosters, Branding
Black border frit for adhesive bonding, silver conductive traces for heated defroster grids, and OEM branding logos — all screen-printed directly onto the coated surface with automotive-grade ceramic inks. Ink is cured at 120°C for permanent adhesion. Registration accuracy ±0.2mm.
- 4
Precision Thermoforming
Heated sheet is vacuum-formed or pressure-formed over CNC-machined aluminum molds to achieve compound curvatures matching OEM cabin geometry. Forming temperature and cooling rate are controlled to maintain optical clarity — no haze at bend radii. Post-form trimming on 5-axis CNC router to final contour. Tolerances: ±0.5mm on trim, ±1.0mm on curvature.
From Runway to Tunnel Boring.
Our formed polycarbonate windshields serve industries where glass isn’t an option — either because it’s too heavy, too fragile, or can’t be formed into the required compound curves.
