For applications that call for greater mechanical strength and amazing
optical clarity, polycarbonate overlays should be the obvious
choice for them. They can be comfortably die-cut, provide dimensional
stability, and deal effectively against threats such as corrosive chemicals,
heat, stains, and abrasion. Polycarbonate overlays are famous for their amazing
resistance against heavy impacts due to their heavier thickness. Not just that,
they are the ideal solution for tools and items where transparency is highly
required as it is a naturally transparent material.
Why Should You Choose Polycarbonate Overlays?
- With polycarbonate overlays,
graphics can be screen printed or digitally printed on the second surface
in order to get high durability
- It provides a good amount of
light transmission and low levels of haze values. It is perfect for
hosting clear windows
- You can easily expect an
exterior life of as much as 5 years with polycarbonate overlays. When
using these overlays, do know that long term outdoor use is not
recommended
- As mentioned in the starting
paragraph, you can expect these overlays to effectively deal with all
sorts of chemicals, flames, and heat. As far as heat is concerned, these
overlays can endure as much as 220 degrees of Fahrenheit. There is a form
of polycarbonate overlay known as Fire Retardant polycarbonate that is
quite capable of dealing with high temperatures or fires
Out of all the overlays, there is only one reliable solution for impact
resistance and that is polycarbonate overlays. They are chiefly
used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, industrial, safety, etc.
