Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Lexan MR10 more scratch resistant than standard polycarbonate?
Lexan MR10 features a specialized mar-resistant hard coating applied to both surfaces that provides 10 times better scratch and abrasion resistance than standard polycarbonate. This coating prevents the surface scratching and hazing that typically occurs with uncoated polycarbonate in high-traffic or industrial environments, maintaining optical clarity much longer.
Is abrasion resistant polycarbonate as strong as regular polycarbonate?
Yes! Abrasion resistant polycarbonate maintains the same legendary impact strength as standard polycarbonate - 250 times stronger than glass. The mar-resistant coating adds scratch protection without compromising the underlying strength and toughness that makes polycarbonate ideal for security and safety applications.
Can I cut and fabricate abrasion resistant polycarbonate?
Yes, abrasion resistant polycarbonate can be cut, drilled, and fabricated using standard polycarbonate techniques and tools. However, care should be taken to avoid scratching the coated surface during handling and fabrication. The mar-resistant coating is on both surfaces, so cut edges will not have the abrasion resistance but will maintain the same impact strength.
When should I choose abrasion resistant over standard polycarbonate?
Choose abrasion resistant polycarbonate for high-traffic areas, industrial environments, security applications, or anywhere standard polycarbonate would be subject to frequent contact, cleaning, or environmental abrasion. While it costs more initially, the extended service life and maintained clarity make it cost-effective for demanding applications where optical quality must be preserved.
