Momentive's SilFORT™ Hardcoats for Optical Devices

A high-performance coating is important to enhance vision when everything is being seen through a lens. Optical parts need to provide clarity, durability and resistance to abrasion, dirt and chemicals. They must not discolor or become hazy over time when exposed to sunlight and they need to be easy-to-clean. Momentive’s SilFORT hardcoats, formulated without PFAS, can provide this superior performance. By increasing weatherability and cleanability, as well as offering resistance to chemicals and solvents, SILFORT hardcoats can help plastics maintain their color, gloss, light transmission and other physical properties.
