Are you looking for anti-glare polycarbonate?
Polycarbonate, known for its strength and optical clarity, often faces a familiar adversary: glare. Whether it is unwanted reflections in retail displays or distracting sunlight streaming through greenhouse panels, glare can hinder visual experience and functionality. So, is anti-glare polycarbonate the solution you seek?
It’s worth a quick look at the difference between “anti-glare” and “anti-reflective”:
Anti-glare: Imagine tiny bumps on the surface, scattering reflected light in various directions. While effective against specific glare sources like headlights, it can slightly reduce image sharpness and appear hazy.
Anti-reflective (AR): Think ultra-thin films or coatings working their magic. These coatings cancel incoming and outgoing light waves, dramatically reducing reflection and maintaining exceptional clarity.
When it comes to polycarbonate, ITO Coatings specialises in anti-reflective (AR) coating solutions. Here’s why:
- Superior Clarity: Our AR coatings boast 96% light transmission (when both sides are coated), ensuring pristine visuals without a hazy compromise.
- Long-lasting Performance: Durable and scratch-resistant – we offer an additional hard coat option to ensure our coatings withstand various environments and retain their effectiveness over time.
- Tailored Solutions: We offer single-sided and double-sided AR coatings, optimised for specific needs and viewing angles.
Now, are you ready to explore the exciting world of anti-reflective polycarbonate applications? Here are just a few…
Retail and Display:
- Showcase products in crystal-clear perfection without distracting reflections, enhancing customer engagement and product appeal.
- Eliminate glare on display cases and museum exhibits, allowing visitors to appreciate artwork and artifacts in their full brilliance.
Architecture and Construction:
- Create clear, unobstructed views through greenhouse panels, optimising light for plant growth while minimising heat build-up.
- Achieve fog-free facades in cold climates, ensuring energy efficiency and stunning architectural aesthetics.
Safety and Transportation:
- Enhance motorcycle windshields and helmets with enhanced clarity, improving rider safety and comfort.
- Minimise glare on safety shields and personal protective equipment for optimal visibility in critical situations.
The Advantages of AR Polycarbonate
Choosing anti-reflective polycarbonate offers additional benefits beyond eliminating glare:
- Reduced Eye Strain: Enjoy comfortable viewing experiences with less eye fatigue, especially in bright environments.
- Improved Colour Accuracy: True colours shine through without the distortion caused by glare, enhancing visual perception.
- Energy Efficiency: AR coatings often reflect less heat, contributing to cooler environments and potentially reducing energy consumption.
