When Scratch Resistance Becomes a Critical Engineering Challenge?
Surface damage is one of the most common failure modes for plastic and glass components used in industrial and consumer products. Scratches not only affect appearance but also reduce optical performance, structural reliability, and perceived product quality.
Common engineering challenges include:
Surface damage during transportation, assembly, or daily use
Optical haze increase after abrasion
Short product lifecycle and warranty risks
Poor adhesion between coating and substrate
Inconsistent performance during mass production

Frequently Asked Questions
Technical answers about anti-scratch coating performance, compatibility, and production implementation.
What level of scratch or abrasion resistance can you achieve?
Abrasion resistance depends on substrate type and coating system. Typical performance ranges from Haze 2–5% under ASTM D1044 Taber testing conditions. Specific targets can be optimized based on application requirements and operating environments.
Can the coating be applied to formed or curved parts?
Yes. Coating processes can be adapted depending on part geometry, dimensions, and production volume. Both flat sheets and formed components are supported, including thermoformed parts in many cases.
Will the coating affect optical clarity or transparency?
PlsTect coating systems are engineered to maintain high transparency and optical quality. Optical performance is evaluated during development to ensure compliance with project requirements such as transmission and haze.
How do you ensure coating adhesion to different materials?
Surface preparation methods, primer systems, and curing parameters are optimized for each substrate. Adhesion testing is performed to confirm long-term durability and stability.
Can the coating be customized for outdoor or chemical exposure?
Yes. Formulations can be adjusted according to environmental conditions such as UV exposure, humidity, temperature variation, or cleaning chemicals to ensure long-term performance.
However, the above conditions apply only to virgin material substrates, without any co-extruded layers or other films on the surface.
What information is needed to start a project?
Typically we require:
Material type (PC, PMMA, PET, ABS,glass, etc.)
Dimensions or drawings
Application environment
Performance targets
Expected production volume
This information allows us to recommend an appropriate coating solution efficiently.
What is the typical lead time for samples?
Sample preparation generally takes 1–3 weeks depending on coating complexity, testing requirements, and part geometry.
Do you support mass production?
Yes. PlsTect coating systems are designed with scalability and batch consistency control to support pilot production as well as full-scale manufacturing.
Does coating thickness affect performance?
Yes. Coating thickness can influence abrasion resistance, optical properties, and durability. Thickness is optimized during development based on performance requirements and substrate characteristics.
Can coating be applied to both sides of the material?
Yes. Single-side or double-side coating configurations can be implemented depending on functional requirements and application conditions.
