ITO Coating On Plastic
ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) is a transparent conducting oxide that can be applied to films, glass and plastic substrates as a coating. ITO can be used to coat plastic substrates such as acrylic, polycarbonate or polyester film.
Providing outstanding peak light transmissions and shielding effectiveness (RFI and EMI), as well as boasting excellent impact and temperature resistance, ITO coating on plastic is the perfect solution for applications within industries including:
- Consumer Electronics, Retail & Entertainment
- Imaging & Microscopy and Medical
- Space, Aerospace and Automotive
- Naval, Military & Defence
- Research & Development and More
Thanks to the flexibility of our substrate handling system, we can deposit coatings not only onto both flat and shaped substrates but also onto a range of injection moulded plastic parts.
Polycarbonate
Polycarbonates are a group of thermoplastic polyesters used in the manufacturing industry in a wide range of grades. They offer a range of features including impact resistance, heat resistance and optical properties and certain grades are flame retardant.
They are used so widely partly due to their ease of machining and because they are easily moulded and thermoformed.
The most common uses of polycarbonate are for electronic applications such as electrical and telecommunication hardware, where safety features are crucial.
Optical hard coated acrylic
Hard coated acrylic is a light weight yet highly scratch resistant material that can be used as a replacement for glass. It has a high tensile strength and is a harder substrate than polycarbonate.
As well as the advantages of using a substrate lighter than glass, optical hard coated acrylic is extremely clear, like glass itself. ITO Plastics acrylic sheet is hand-made and inspected to the highest optical specification.
The ITO plastic coating can be applied with anti-glare properties and additional scratch resistant properties if required.
ITO plastic is the perfect answer to the demands of 21st Century aerospace, space and automotive; consumer electronics, entertainment and medical; military/defence, imaging/microscopy and research/development applications including:
- Resistive/Capacitive Touch Panels & Touch Screens
- Heated Optically Clear (Transparent) Display Filters
- Photovoltaic Cells
- EMI/RFI Shielding
- Electrostatic Dissipation and More
