Introduction to ITO Substrates:
Vacuum-depositing ITO coatings onto plastic substrates using a low-temperature process, Diamond Coatings have a flexible substrate handling system enabling us to coat not only flat but also shaped and varying injection molded parts.
Diamond Coatings Inc. offers a comprehensive range of ITO Plastics supplies on substrates including:
- Polycarbonate
- Acrylic and
- Polyester (PET/PEN) Film
In addition, we can also supply ITO coated acrylic or polycarbonate products with additional anti-glare/anti-reflective and/or hard-coat/scratch-resistant coatings.
ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) is well known for its use in coating glass but due to modern advancements, ITO can also be used to coat plastic substrates such as acrylic, polycarbonate or polyester (PET) film, to meet the demands of a wider variety of applications across many industries.
Polycarbonate
Polycarbonates are a particular group of thermoplastic polyesters. They are easily machined & coated and are very widely used in modern manufacturing. Their interesting features include temperature resistance, impact resistance and optical properties.
Different grades of polycarbonate with properties such as Flame retardant are available. We can also apply an anti-glare finish with a range of finishes to suit all applications.
Also available are adhesive gaskets & tapes to allow easy bonding to your display case.
Optical Hard Coated Acrylic
Acrylic is a useful, clear plastic that resembles glass, but has properties that make it superior to glass in many ways. The main advantage is the weight advantages of acrylic over glass. Our Acrylic sheet is hand-made and inspected to very high optical specification. Acrylic is a harder substrate than polycarbonate and offers better scratch resistance, additional scratch resistant properties can be added along with anti-glare coatings.
ITO Plastic Applications
Offering outstanding peak light transmissions, temperature & impact resistance and shielding (RFI/EMI) effectiveness, ITO coated plastic is the perfect solutions for applications in worldwide industries including, among others:
- Space, Aerospace & Automotive
- Imaging, Microscopy & Medical
- Military & Defence
- Research & Development
- Consumer Electronics (Smart Phones, Tablets, and so on), Entertainment & More
Such applications include, for example:
- EMI/RFI Shielding
- Resistive/Capacitive Touch Panels/Screens
- Heated Display Filters (Optically Clear)
- Photovoltaic Cells
- Electrostatic Dissipation and many others
