Why Use ITO Float Glass?
Obviously, with Float Glass being the most commonly used of all glass types, there will always be a requirement for ITO Float Glass.
Applications of Anti-reflective Polycarbonate
Comparable to glass in terms of transparency/clarity - yet much lighter - and combining high impact resistance with excellent flammability ratings, anti-reflective polycarbonate is the perfect material for a wide range of applications.

Polycarbonates
The polycarbonate class of thermoplastic polyesters offers several interesting properties, including high impact resistance, high temperature resistance and outstanding optical properties. Widely used within modern manufacturing, they are easy to machine and coat and can be supplied in different grades with, for example, flame retardant properties.
Anti-reflective Polycarbonate Applications
Its high impact & temperature resistance, combined with excellent light transmission rates (one side coated: 91%; both sides coated: 95%) make anti reflective polycarbonate an outstanding material for display filters, especially in applications where weight considerations are a major factor. Such applications may, for example, include:
- Resistive & Capacitive Touch Screens/Panels
- Electronic Automobile Displays
- Display/Control Screens for Food Processing/Medical Manufacturers
- Monolithic EMI/RFI Shielding Filters
- Electronic and Opto-Electronic Displays
- Transparent ITO Heaters
Typical applications of the latter operating within unforgiving environments include, for instance:
- Agricultural Equipment’s Control Panels
- Aviation/Naval Cargo Areas, Flight Decks & Hanger Lighting
- Command/Control Screens
- External Information Displays
- Helicopter Canopy Windows & Windscreens
- Industrial Control Screens
- Large Portable Generators LCD Display Panels
- Marine/Boat Windows
- Military Ground Vehicles & Periscopes
- Naval Flight Deck Equipment
- Security Camera Domes and More
In addition, the high impact resistance of AR coated polycarbonate makes it an excellent choice for anti-vandal touch screens (such as, for example, on ATMs, public information displays, etc.) and bullet resistance lamination.
Other AR Coated Polycarbonate Applications
As well as reducing unwanted reflection and glare, AR coated polycarbonate also protects images against UV light-related fading and yellowing. This also makes it a popular choice for applications including:
- Advertising
- Art Exhibitions
- Gallery Displays
- Retail/Poster Displays
- Display Cases/Cabinets and
- Picture Framing
Other Coating Options
Diamond Coatings also offer a range of additional coating options, including conductive ITO and hard coat (scratch resistant) coatings, as well as adhesive tapes & gaskets allowing for ease-of-bonding to display cases, etc.

The Uses Of Conductive Glass
Conductive glass really is a thing… glass that has the ability to conduct electricity! This sounds pretty cool on the face of it, but what are the uses of conductive glass? Read on!
Indium Tin Oxide Coated Glass
Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) is a fantastic substance that has two characteristics that make it ideal for a number of applications: Firstly, it is optically clear, and secondly it is electrically conductive.
