Polycarbonate sheet with coating, PC Hard. The coating greatly enhances the PC sheet’s abrasion resistance without degrading its exceptional optical qualities.
For applications like windscreen wipers and other things that are vulnerable to abrasion and scratching, the coating is essential.
In order to create a flexible, abrasion- and chemical-resistant hard coated polycarbonate film, an acrylic coating is drum cast onto one surface of a flexible polycarbonate film.
The acrylic coating is then cured by ultraviolet radiation, resulting in the hard coated film, which is then laminated to a thick polycarbonate sheet.
The best scratch resistance and most durable component for an AR coating application are provided by a premium thermally cured hard coat.
The Global Hard Coat Polycarbonate sheet market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Formable hard-coated polycarbonate sheet for glazing applications is now available from Sabic. The increasing variety of polycarbonate (PC) sheet materials from Sabic is used in vehicle glazing.
The Lexan Merguard FHC10 is designed to meet the exacting ECE R43 criteria for visibility, strength, and abrasion resistance.
For modestly curved glazing components for smaller unit production cars where injection molding is less cost-effective, Sabic’s new Lexan Merguard FHC10 sheet can be used.
A strong PC base with great optical quality and a novel, formable hard coating that is sufficiently pre-cured to allow processing like ordinary PC sheet are the key components of the new product.
In addition to ECE R43 compliance, Lexan Merguard FHC10 sheet offers automotive OEMs and tiers a choice for producing straightforward, curved glazing designs, allowing customers to eliminate post-coating processes.
significant growth in the automotive glazing industry, driven by technological improvements in materials like polycarbonate and ongoing demand for increasingly lightweight components, especially in electric vehicles.
Exclusive silicone-based formable hard coating for Lexan Merguard FHC10 sheet uses dual-cure (thermal/thermal) technology.
The coating is sufficiently pre-cured to allow for easy handling and fabrication like a standard PC sheet while also retaining enough flexibility to be molded within predetermined limits.
