Super-Hard-Coat Abrasion-Resistant Acrylic Sheets (RHG)
An optically clear CLAREX acrylic sheet with enhanced scratch resistance for demanding abrasion-prone applications.
CLAREX super-hard-coat abrasion-resistant acrylic (RHG) features a 9H pencil hardness, offering even greater scratch resistance than standard hard-coat acrylic grades. This makes it a strong fit for applications where surface durability and abrasion resistance are especially important.
Because this upgraded hard coat is more brittle than standard hard coat options, RHG is best suited for environments where scratch resistance matters more than impact resistance. It is also a more premium option, making it ideal for applications that require a higher level of surface protection.
Benefits of Super-Hard-Coat Acrylic Sheets
Built for Maximum Scratch Resistance
Offers even greater scratch resistance than standard hard-coat acrylic, with 9H pencil hardness for demanding high-abrasion applications.
