Polycarbonate, originally developed and produced by GE under the trade name of Lexan, is a favored material for use in many consumer, industrial and architectural applications. A few uses you see frequently include automotive lens covers, molded covers or housings for small appliances, eyeglasses and shields. It has the sought-after properties of flexibility, viewing clarity, toughness, scratch resistance and ease of fabrication.
As a converter and printer, when polycarbonate was made available in thin gauge sheet form, it was very quickly accepted and specified by our OEM and appliance manufacturing customers. The material is primarily printed in reverse (on the back side). This sub-surface or buried printing provides excellent wear resistance, unlimited color options, surface texture options and more.
Typical products include polycarbonate nameplates, control overlays, membrane overlays, graphic appliques and other decorative trim applications.
