Momentive’s thermal cured SilFORT hardcoats can provide a durable, high gloss finish and a long-lasting protective surface to a variety of plastic substrates, including black and transparent polycarbonate or PMMA, as well as metallic substrates such as anodized aluminum or bare aluminum.
Our thermally cured hardcoats for plastics are based on polysiloxane chemistry and are available with or without a primer. They typically cure between 90°C and 130°C and are available with or without UV protection. Our hardcoats help enable the use of plastic without sacrificing durability, aesthetics or performance.
