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.
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.
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:
Typical applications of the latter operating within unforgiving environments include, for instance:
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.
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:
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.

By manipulating the interplay between light and material, anti-reflective coatings virtually eradicate distracting reflections, elevating clarity and visual quality.
An optical coating is a thin film deposited on a surface to alter its optical properties and manipulate the behaviour of light
