Clear coatings for plastics are designed to improve abrasion and wear resistance on polymeric substrates while maintaining their aesthetic appearance and functionality.
Inorganic coatings provide superior hardness and abrasion resistance compared to organic ones, offering enhanced durability, chemical and thermal stability as well as resistance to UV degradation. However, they can present less adhesion to polymeric substrates.
Tekniker has developed a transparent and highly abrasion-resistant coating based on a combination of inorganic network with an organic phase ensuring strong adhesion to the plastic and a long service life even under extreme conditions. These formulations are widely used in automotive applications, electronic devices, optical lenses, and furniture, where durability and transparency are essential.
