Protective Optical Hardcoatings for
Plastic and Glass Substrates

There are many potential applications for protective plastic hardcoatings. In the case of polymer optics, the need may simply be for enhanced hardness/abrasion resistance. Substrates such as injection-molded display windows or molded optics that may need to be cleaned in the field of use are strong candidates for plastic optical hardcoatings. VisiMax offers a low-cost dip-applied plastic hardcoating, as well as a sophisticated plasma polymerization vacuum hardcoating process. In certain glass substrate applications such as scanner windows, low friction hard surfaces are needed to maintain good optical transmission. VisiMax has proprietary thin-film processes to meet many surface protection requirements.
