Cast Allyl Carbonate  ( ADC ) Filter Windows.

​

 Slater Plastics produces the highest quality cast ADC sheet material from 1 mm to 6 mm thick, in house from ADC monomer. We then use this sheet to produce   our optical filters. These filters can be RFI / EMC shielded windows, standard clear filters, tinted for contrast enhancement or printed as facia panels.

​

 ADC has a series of properties, which makes it ideal for the production of filter windows and fascia panels. This material is equivalent to CR39.

​

 Properties include :

​

• Less than half the weight of glass

​

• Bright surfaces and light transmissions close to optical glass

 

• Refractive index close to that of crown glass

 

• High impact strength

 

• Remarkable abrasion resistance ( approximately 20 times that of acrylic )

 

• Resistance to pitting from hot metal sparks, 30 - 40 times higher than glass and other plastics

           

• Excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, petro chemicals and to all solvents including aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons

 

• Easy surface tinting

 

• Better scratch resistance than hard coated plastics

 

•  Resistance to distortion by temperatures up to 130 ° C, a temperature at which acrylic resins are melted

 

•  U.V. absorbers can be added to help protect LCD displays in strong sunlight
