CLAREX®
Clarex Optical Grade Cell-Cast Acrylic (PMMA) is an unsurpassed optical grade acrylic used in industries and applications which require a higher level of optical performance and quality. Examples include automotive, aviation, medical and information display industries used for display windows, light guides, filtering specific wavelengths for optical sensors, contrast enhancement and diffusion of light.
The cast acrylic (pmma) material is very robust as it has a high molecular weight which gives an excellent surface hardness and durability. The very high light transmission of up to 98% ensures the light and signals will pass unimpeded through the substrate. These attributes can be further enhanced and customised with additional coatings and bespoke colour matching which complement and are tailored towards the application.
It is these qualities which are highly valued by us and our customers.
Using Clarex optical design technology, High definition front and rear projection screens have been developed. This results in projection screens which have True Colour Reproduction, High Definition and High Contrast images.
