    Hardcoating creates premium performance

    Coating agents improve the performance of plastic materials. We most commonly use hardcoatings in Aikon® high-performance plastic sheets. Hardcoated films improve the physical properties of the sheets and help manufacturers of machines, vehicles, or devices to replace glass and metal with lighter and stronger plastic materials. We can hardcoat polycarbonate and acrylic to create superior materials.

    Coating protects various applications

    Hard coatings are used to protect plastics in machine or vehicle glazing and lighting applications. Coating improves the durability and performance of lightweight plastics. Thermal and UV cured hard coatings are an excellent solution for exterior protection for vehicles or machines. Improved physical properties of plastic sheets help to develop fuel-efficient and long-range electric cars of the future. Coatings also promote energy efficiency and safety in architectural applications. Thanks to advanced UV absorbers, hard coatings can provide non-yellowing, optimal protection against ultraviolet rays.

    Plastic coating has various benefits

    Hard coating provides various benefits, such as significantly better scratch resistance, weather resistance, and improved resistance to chemicals and solvents. In addition, coating helps maintaining colour, gloss, light transmission, and other physical properties of transparent plastic sheets.

    We ensure high quality with machine vision

    The automated coating line has a machine vision, which ensures a high optical quality of coating. The machine vision monitors the quality and indicates if there are any quality deviations in the plastic sheets. In addition, the high quality of prototypes is ensured through quality control tests. The concentration of coating agents is measured in a testing laboratory. Similarly, the thickness of the agent in the coated plastic sheet is measured to ensure a consistent quality.

    Main benefits of plastic
    coating

    • Enhanced and long-term weatherability
    • Improved resistance to scratch and abrasives
    • Superior resistance to chemicals and solvents
    • Excellent glazing protection
    • Helps to extend a polymeric component’s
      durability and performance
    • Maintains physical properties 
    • Material is easier to clean
    • Contributes to energy efficiency and safety

    Applications where
    coating is needed

    • Vehicle and machine glazing, exterior and
      lighting applications
    • Ice hockey arenas
    • Touchscreen applications
    • Architectural applications
    • Noise barriers and bus shelters

    Sizes of coated plastic products

    We can hard coat flat plastic sheets and 3D parts:

    • flat sheets up to size of 15 x 2000 x 3000 mm
    • 3D parts up to size of 700 x 2000 x 3000 mm

    We use thermally cured Momentive SilFORT coatings

    PHC 587 - Standard PC coating

    PHC 587 is a hard coating providing increased scratch resistance for polycarbonate sheets. It is a clear and non-yellowing silicone coating that offers optimal protection. The coating protects PC sheets from ultraviolet radiation, heat, cold or snow, but it also resists damage from sand and dirt. 

    The coating complies with the ECE Automotive Regulations for European forward lighting applications. Also, PHC 587 coating complies with DOT FMVSS #108, and is in the AMECA list of acceptable plastics for optical lenses and reflectors used on motor vehicles.

    AS-4000 - Premium PC coating

    AS-4000 is a premium hard coating creating high performance for polycarbonate sheets. It is a thermally cured, clear, non-yellowing coating agent. AS-4000 provides optimal protection against ultraviolet radiation, heat, cold, rain, and snow, as well as ice. It also provides resistance to damage from sand and dirt.

    The main benefits of AS-4000 are weatherability, scratch resistance and good clarity. The coating is primary used to protect and improve properties of PC sheets.

    AS-4700 - Supreme PC coating

    AS-4700 is a supreme hard coating with a  SHP470 base coating to protect primary polycarbonate substrates against effects of harsh environment. The coating is thermally cured, and it provides superior abrasion resistance and weather resistance to PC sheets.

    It is the best performing hard coating of SilFORT coatings. AS-4700 does not only protect clear PC sheets but it also offers excellent protection to black polycarbonate sheets against UV-radiation.

    PHC XH100P - Protective PMMA coating

    PCH XH100P is a primerless, thermally cured, clear hard coating for PMMA. It provides enhanced abrasion resistance, combined with improved chemical resistance and long-term weathering protection. In addition, the coating provides extreme scratch resistance. These properties are reflected in outstanding gloss retention and clarity of the material.
     
    PHC XH100P coating can protect various types and grades of PMMA from degradation, such as transparent, tinted, or black sheets. The main benefit of the coating is high abrasion resistance. Good chemical resistance makes PMMA easy to clean.
