Product Description

Anti-Scratch Solid Polycarbonate Sheet for Glazing, Guards & Roofing

Baoding Sinhai Sunboard Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer of anti-scratch solid polycarbonate sheet with over 30 years of producing experience of PC, three manufacturing bases and more than 25 production lines, annual output of more than 60,000 tonnes. Each sheet is made from 100% virgin Bayer/Sabic PC resin and has a 50μm UV co-extrusion layer that offers 98-100% UV block below 380nm. It also has a polysiloxane or silica-nanoparticle hard coat on both sides with pencil hardness ≥2H-3H. The impact strength is rated at 850 J/m and the light transmission is up to 90%.

Why Surface Hardness Matters on Polycarbonate?

Standard polycarbonate is robust mechanically yet soft on the surface compared to glass or acrylic. Repeated cleaning with brushes or abrasive cloths, exposure to airborne grit and mechanical contact in industrial situations slowly hazes the surface. Once the optical clarity is compromised, generally the sheet is replaced.

The hard coat on both sides of this sheet deals with it immediately. The fundamental PC core preserves its full impact toughness, but the coating improves surface hardness to 2H–3H pencil hardness — a big step forward from the sub-HB surface of typical PC sheets.

Key Performance Properties

Surface hardness and resistance to abrasion: The coating may achieve a pencil hardness of 2H–3H. Taber Abrasion testing (ASTM D1044, CS-10F wheels, 500g load) indicates delta haze below 2-4% after 100 cycles, suggesting the surface stays optically clear despite repeated mechanical cleaning contact.

Impact toughness: the sheet has an impact strength of 850 J/m, which is 250-300× the impact strength of glass. The hard coat application method is managed to retain the core toughness of the underlying PC – no increase in notch sensitivity after coating is confirmed by falling dart impact testing.

Chemical Resistance: The coating is resistant to typical cleaning chemicals, graffiti removers and industrial solvents and is appropriate for use in transit stations, public facilities, factory floors and other situations where harsh cleaning is regular.

UV stability: The 50µm UV co-extrusion is a separate co-extruded barrier not the surface hard coat. Resists fading and brittleness from prolonged outdoor exposure. Coating stability assessment using accelerated weathering (QUV) test.

Optical clarity: Anti-scratch solid polycarbonate sheet has a light transmission up to 88-90% fulfilling ASTM D1003 optical standards. The smooth surface finish gives a glass-like appearance appropriate for architectural, exhibition and safety glazing applications.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial machinery guards - viewing windows on CNC machines where flying debris and frequent wiping would soon fog normal PC
  • Public transport and security windows for trains, bus shelters and protective barriers when scratch resistance and impact resistance are needed concurrently
  • Architectural Glazing – Acoustic Barriers, Commercial Entryways and Skylight Strips Exposed to High Frequency Cleaning and Long-Term Weathering
  • Signage and light boxes – optical clarity must be maintained with regular maintenance contact
  • Sound barriers and daylighting strips – where UV stability and surface durability during outdoor exposure are critical concerns

Quality Control Process

We inspect our products at three points: on receipt of raw materials, throughout manufacture and at final delivery. This sheet type especially involves the procedure of:

  • Cross-Hatch Adhesion Test (ASTM D3359) – verifies the hard coat will not delaminate under mechanical stress or heat cycling
  • Steel Wool Test – mimics the friction of real-life cleaning on the coated surface
  • Taber Abrasion Test – measures surface durability by delta haze measurement
  • Accelerated Weathering (QUV) – tests coating stability under prolonged UV exposure
  • Impact Test Falling Dart - checks that the coating procedure has not affected the impact strength of the base sheet

Impact resistance, light transmittance, flame retardancy, weathering resistance is proven at all manufacturing bases.

Customization and Processing Options

Stock sizes available standard. Provides complete customisation of thickness, breadth, length, colour, thickness of the UV layer and surface finish. We welcome OEM and ODM orders.

Standard colours include clear, lake blue, grass green, opal, bronze and grey.

Anti-scratch solid polycarbonate sheet factory processing services include CNC cutting, drilling, polishing, printing, bending, special-shaped cutting, vacuum forming and thermoforming. Cold bending on site is feasible down to a minimum bending radius of ≥175× sheet thickness, smaller radii may cause crazing of the hard coat surface.

Supply and Delivery

Three production bases across China, including a Kashgar facility positioned for Central Asian logistics, support standard order shipment within 7–15 days. Custom color orders require 15–20 days; rush production scheduling is negotiable.

Sea, truck, and air freight are all supported. Overseas warehouse resources in Tashkent and Dushanbe allow faster regional delivery across Central Asia.

FAQ

Q1: What material and thickness options are available?

A: All sheets use 100% virgin Bayer/Sabic PC resin. Common thicknesses run from 1.5mm to 12mm, with production capability up to 23mm. Maximum width is 2.1m and length is cut to order.

Q2: What customization options are available and what are the lead times?

A: Thickness, width, length, color, and UV layer thickness are all customizable. Standard orders ship in 7–15 days; custom colors take 15–20 days. Rush orders can be arranged subject to production scheduling.

Q3: Can the sheet be cold-curved on site?

A: Yes. Use a minimum bending radius of ≥175× the sheet thickness. Tighter bends risk crazing the hard coat even when the base PC would normally tolerate a smaller radius.

Q4: Is the hard coat applied to one side or both?

A: Both single-sided (SC) and double-sided (DC) configurations are available. Double-sided coating is the practical choice for applications where both faces are exposed to abrasion or cleaning contact.

Q5: How does this compare to acrylic (PMMA) for scratch resistance?

A: Acrylic is naturally harder than standard PC but considerably more brittle. This pproduct combines the impact toughness of PC with a hard coat that achieves scratch resistance comparable to PMMA, without the brittleness that makes acrylic unsuitable for impact-exposed applications.

Q6: What fire ratings apply?

A: The sheet meets B1 per GB 8624 and UL94 V-2. Specific fire-rated thickness or configuration requirements should be confirmed with the sales team for your application.
