Anti-Glare Plastic for Displays
Question: What makes TSP’s DURAVUE® 2000 Anti-Glare Hardcoat superior to other leading anti-glare treatments for polycarbonate or acrylic display applications?
Answer: DURAVUE® 2000 Anti-Glare Hardcoat is superior to alternative anti-glare offerings for several reasons:
- Outstanding Abrasion Resistance: DURAVUE® 2000 AG offers superior abrasion resistance versus simple matted surfaces, which means it can withstand more wear and tear without losing its effectiveness. This combination of excellent abrasion resistance with special glare reduction properties makes it more durable and longer-lasting than alternatives.
- Glare Reduction/Image Resolution: DURAVUE® 2000 AG optimizes display readability by diffusing reflected light while maintaining good image resolution, which is crucial for display readability in challenging, high lighting environments.
- Smooth Surface Quality: Unlike some alternatives that can appear grainy, DURAVUE® 2000 AG maintains a perfectly smooth surface, enhancing readability and overall product appearance.
- Chemical Resistance: Because of its polysiloxane base coating, DURAVUE® 2000 AG provides excellent resistance to harsh chemicals, enhancing its durability and longevity.
- Versatility: DURAVUE® 2000 AG can be applied to both acrylic and polycarbonate and is available in various gloss levels to match your specific viewing requirements.
