1220x2440mm High Hardness Clear Polycarbonate Sheet Pc Sheet

High Hardness (Abrasion Resistant) Clear Polycarbonate Sheet

Introduction

Standard polycarbonate is unbreakable but scratches easily. For industrial and public-facing applications where clarity is critical, Jinan Jinbao Plastic Co., Ltd. offers Abrasion Resistant (AR) Polycarbonate Sheets (also known as Hard-Coated PC).

This advanced product features a cross-linked silicone or acrylic-based hard coating on one or both sides. It delivers the toughness of steel-grade plastic while approaching the scratch resistance of glass, ensuring your glazing stays crystal clear even after repeated cleaning and exposure to harsh environments.

Key Features

• Superior Scratch Resistance: Significantly improved surface hardness (pencil hardness HB to F) compared to standard PC (2B), resisting marring from steel wool and cleaning cloths.

• Chemical Resistance: The hard coat provides a barrier against harsh cleaners, solvents, and graffiti removers that would typically haze standard polycarbonate.

• Unbreakable Core: Retains the legendary impact strength of polycarbonate—250x stronger than glass and 30x stronger than acrylic—making it bullet-resistant in thick gauges.

• Optical Clarity: High-quality coating ensures 88-90% light transmission, virtually identical to uncoated sheets.

• Weatherability: Enhanced resistance to yellowing and UV degradation, backed by a 10-year warranty for outdoor use.

Applications

• Security Glazing: Prison windows, bank teller shields, and detention center glazing where scratch-proof visibility is mandatory.

• Industrial Guards: Machine viewing panels and robotic cell enclosures that face flying debris and frequent cleaning.

• Transportation: Bus windows, train glazing, and heavy equipment windshields requiring wiper abrasion resistance.

• Public Displays: Digital signage covers, museum display cases, and school glazing resistant to vandalism.

Why Choose JINBAO PLASTIC?

• Advanced Coating Technology: We utilize dust-free coating lines to apply a uniform hard coat that doesn't peel or delaminate under impact.

• Factory Direct Value: As a manufacturer with 35 production lines, JINBAO offers this premium technical product at wholesale prices, bypassing distributor markups.

• Customization: We can apply the hard coating to just one side (AR1) for cost savings or both sides (AR2) for maximum protection, cut to your exact project dimensions.

FAQ

Q1: Can I bend or form this hard-coated sheet?

A: Hard coatings are rigid. Cold bending is limited to large radii (check with our engineers). Thermoforming (heat bending) is generally not recommended as the coating may crack. For formed parts, use our "Formable Grade" hard coat.

Q2: How do I clean this sheet?

A: Thanks to the chemical-resistant coating, you can use stronger cleaners than standard PC. However, we still recommend mild soap and water with a microfiber cloth to extend coating life. Avoid abrasive scrubs.

Q3: Is this glass?

A: No, it is Polycarbonate plastic. It looks like glass but is much lighter and stronger. The "High Hardness" refers to the special coating that mimics glass's scratch resistance.

Q4: What is the difference between AR1 and AR2?

A: AR1 is coated on one side (good for wall-mounted displays). AR2 is coated on both sides (best for windows and partitions exposed on both faces).
