Protective hard coatings are commonly used to protect plastic components otherwise susceptible to abrasion, hazing, or foreign substances such as oils, chemicals, or solvents. Brewer Science’s ProTEK® PSR-R and ProTEK® PSR-360 UV-cure, primerless, protective coatings offer best-in-class protection against wear and foreign substances for polycarbonate and acrylic components in many applications.
All the same benefits as ProTEK® PSR-R material, plus hydrophobic and oleophobic properties for fingerprint and smudge resistance.
