Are You Looking For Scratch-resistant Durable Plastic?

Plastic is of course a fantastic product and is used in many applications due to its material cost, weight and relative toughness. One issue with plastic is that it can be easily scratched, and for some applications (such as optical) this is not ideal.

There are certain ways to make plastic more durable and additionally offer scratch resistant properties – more on this later…

Scratch-resistant Durable Plastic Applications

In the optical sense, plastic is being used as a really good alternative to glass. Potentially stronger and lighter, polycarbonates and acrylics uses include windows for boats, trains and planes, security camera domes, industrial control screens, heavy use LCD display screens, safety visors and machine guards, anti vandal and security glazing.

Other applications include retail environments and the barrier screens we all became accustomed to during the pandemic.
