Safety is a major concern in most industrial setups, especially where workers have to use face shields or goggles. It is for this reason that companies invest in technologies such as anti-scratch coating for plastics that can improve performance and reliability of these products. Polycarbonate is a versatile and reliable polymer. This is due to its... superior physical and chemical properties . However, it is not 100% perfect. At times, you need to add other products to make it a perfect choice for a specific application. There are a number of steps you have to follow to achieve the required degree of safety. Scratches or marks on safety goggles and face shields impair vision. As a result, one has to strain to see through these safety equipment. This makes it prudent to find a way of eliminating all scratches without interfering with the desired qualities of the safety gears. Remember, eye strain can be devastating. As a matter of fact, you may not be able to focus on the work at hand. In short, you have no option but, to go for safety gears with anti-scratch coating. It is the only sure way of improving performance and reliability of this equipment. An anti-scratch coating for plastics are chemical substrates that bind on polycarbonate or acrylic sheet . The process involves dip or flow coating . After which, the coating substrate is cured through UV or thermal energy. With this, the anti-scratch coating firmly attaches on the polycarbonate or acrylic surface. This creates a surface that is wear resistance. Normally, this film is so thin that it does not interfere with the degree of light transmission. It is 99.9% transparent. This is based on turbidimeter test results. Of course, this also complies with the ASTM test standards . Of course, with all these, goggles or face shield will guarantee safety at all times. There are different types of plastic coating formulated for different working conditions. There are different environmental conditions that may affects our eyes. Therefore, we need to be cautious all ...Read More
