Enabling Plastics, Enabling Future Mobility
SilFORT* hardcoats offer automotive manufacturers the ability to replace glass and metal with lightweight plastics in a variety of demanding applications, including lighting, glazing, exterior trim, sensor covers, interior parts and new front module applications.
Applying SilFORT hardcoats can extend the long-term durability and performance of plastics, such as polycarbonate and PMMA, as well as increase weatherability, scratch and abrasion resistance, chemical and solvent resistance, and cleanability, to help plastics maintain their color, gloss, light transmission and other physical properties.
