Anti-Reflection (AR) Coatings and Surface Enhancements for plastics

The trade name Optiguard™ is used across the unique range of Anti-Reflection and Hard coating surface treatments for plastics offered by Panel Graphic.

These applied finishes improve the performance of almost any type of plastic material by making it harder, less reflective, conductive, anti-fog, or even anti-microbial. Several of these coatings can be applied to customer supplied mouldings or free issue components and all are available in standard or custom sheet sizes, some from stock.

For further information on any of the surface treatments available for plastics, Anti Reflective, Optical Clear Hard Coating, ITO Conductive Coatings, Sunlight Readable Coating, Chemical & Abrasion Resistant Finishes, Anti-Graffiti Coatings, No Mist and Anti-fog finishes for plastics, and other speciality coatings such as; ESD (Electrostatic Dissipative), Hygiene, Anti-Bacterial, Easy and Self Clean, Hydrophobic water shedding, Anti-Fingerprint, Anti-Smudge.

Optiguard™ Chemical & Abrasion Resistant Hardcoating

Optiguard Coatings for Plastics will dramatically reduce scratching when applied to acrylic or polycarbonate sheet or mouldings giving a surface hardness approaching that of glass together with superior resistance to chemical attack.

Optiguard™ Anti-Fog Coating

Optiguard Anti-Fog is a clear, 100% solids liquid that will cure when exposed to radiant ultraviolet processing systems. Optiguard Anti-Fog is a primer-less, non-marring coating which eliminates fogging, misting or unwanted water droplets on the surface of polycarbonate and other plastic substrates.

Optiguard™ ITO Coating

ito15 is a highly conductive coated optically clear polyester film and can also be applied vacuum deposited directly to plastic. The combination of high visible light transmission, near-neutral colour and low electrical resistance make an ideal EMI/RFI shield for electronic displays, touch screen and membrane switch panels requiring moderate shielding effectiveness and high-quality optical properties. The thin film is ideal for easy integration into optical stacks and displays. These conductive coatings can also be used in conjunction with Anti-Reflection Coatings.
