SilFORT hardcoats enable architects, engineers and contractors to replace glass and metal with lightweight plastics in a number of demanding applications, including windows, walls, facades and roofs. Applying SilFORT hardcoats helps extend the long-term durability aesthetics and performance of plastics, such as polycarbonate and PMMA. SilFORT hardcoats increase weatherability, cleanability and resistance to abrasion, chemicals and solvents to help plastics maintain their color, gloss, light transmission and other physical properties.
