Armor Plastics AP-HC1

Armor Plastics AP-HC1 offer high strength, low weight, and ideal optical properties, but plastic surfaces are prone to scratching and chemical damage. Armor Plastics’ hard coating is scratch and chemical resistant, improving functionality and durability of polycarbonate across many applications. Armor Plastics’ AP-HC1 Sheet features our high-tech abrasion and chemical resistant coating on both sides to increase the useful lifetime of the polycarbonate sheet. We’ve refined our process and proven that our hard coating has the same or better abrasion resistance than more expensive thermal coating for flat applications. AP-HC1 sheets are used for flat applications such as safety barriers, transparent glazing in schools and other institutions to protect staff, machine guards, and multiple other applications. This product is recommended for indoor applications only.
