For electronics manufacturers, automotive suppliers, and PPE producers requiring a thin, transparent material that resists wear, Jinan Jinbao Plastic Co., Ltd. provides our Thin Gauge Hard Coated Polycarbonate Sheet.
Standard polycarbonate is tough but easily marred by cleaning cloths or contact. JINBAO's solution applies a high-performance Anti-Scratch Coating (Silicone or Acrylic based) to our ultra-clear 1mm, 2mm, and 3mm sheets. This upgrades the surface hardness from a soft "2B" to a robust "HB" or "F" rating, allowing it to serve as a glass replacement in high-touch applications like instrument clusters and face shields where optical distortion from scratches is unacceptable.
Enhanced Surface Hardness: Resist scuffs, steel wool abrasion, and frequent cleaning, significantly extending product life compared to uncoated PC.
Precision Optics: Manufactured on dust-free lines to ensure defect-free clarity, essential for electronic display covers and visors.
Chemical Resistance: The hard coat acts as a barrier against solvents, alcohol, and fuels that typically craze or fog standard polycarbonate.
Impact Protection: Despite being thin (1-3mm), it retains high impact strength—won't shatter like glass or crack like acrylic under stress.
Lightweight: Weighs 50% less than glass, reducing the total weight of wearable devices (helmets) and portable electronics.
Die-Cut Friendly: Thin gauges can be precision die-cut or CNC routed into complex shapes for gaskets and bezels.

Optical Quality Assurance: We inspect 100% of thin-gauge optical sheets in a cleanroom environment to ensure zero inclusions or "fish eyes" that would ruin a display.
Advanced Coating Lines: Our flow-coating technology ensures a uniform coating thickness that doesn't distort optics or delaminate during die-cutting.
Custom Fabrication: Beyond sheets, JINBAO offers CNC routing and die-cutting services to deliver ready-to-assemble lenses and covers directly to your production line.
Inventory Depth: We keep stock of master rolls and sheets in 1-3mm gauges to support rapid prototyping and quick-turn wholesale orders.

◇ Certifications that our cast Acrylic sheet obtained: SGS, CE, ISOcertificate.
Q: Can I bend this hard-coated sheet?
A: Hard coatings are generally rigid. Cold bending is not recommended for hard-coated sheets as the coating may micro-crack (craze). For curved visors, we recommend our specialized "Formable Hard Coat" grade which can be thermoformed.
Q: How do I cut 1mm-3mm hard coated PC?
A: It can be sheared, sawed, or CNC routed. Laser cutting is NOT recommended for polycarbonate (coated or uncoated) as it produces burnt, yellowed edges.
Q: Is the coating on one side or both sides?
A: We offer both options. 1-Side Coated is cost-effective for displays (coating faces the user). 2-Side Coated is best for windows or visors exposed on both faces.
Q: Does this resist fogging?
A: This specific product is "Anti-Scratch." For face shields, we can apply an Anti-Fog coating on the interior side and Anti-Scratch on the exterior. Please specify "Dual Coating" in your inquiry.
