TechPC-AR Large Anti-Reflective Polycarbonate Sheets
Large-format coated polycarbonate sheets designed for low reflection, high clarity, and durable surface protection.
TechPC-AR sheets are made from clear extruded polycarbonate with hard-coat, anti-reflective, and oleophobic coatings applied to both sides. This construction delivers less than 2% reflection and greater than 94% light transmission across the visible range, helping improve clarity, readability, and visual contrast.
These sheets are commonly used as protective front panels for large digital displays, enclosures, architectural elements, equipment covers, and other high-visibility applications. They are often selected when larger or thicker panels are required than standard CLAREX polycarbonate sheet sizes can provide. Stocked sizes are typically 48 x 96″, making TechPC-AR a strong fit for large-format display and protective panel applications.
Note: This is not CLAREX a brand material,
Benefits of TechPC-AR Sheets
High Transmission & Low Reflection
Delivers >94% visible light transmission with <2% surface reflection for improved readability, clarity, and visual performance.
Large-Format, Lightweight Construction
Designed for large-area applications while remaining substantially lighter than comparable glass panels for easier handling and installation.
Scratch- & Chemical-Resistant Surface
Hard-coated surfaces help resist abrasion and chemical exposure for better long-term durability.
High Impact Resistance
Polycarbonate is significantly stronger than acrylic or glass, making it a reliable choice for large-format protective applications.
UV-Stable Performance
Maintains optical performance during long-term indoor and outdoor exposure.
Easy to Clean & Fabricate
Oleophobic surfaces help reduce fingerprints and smudging, while the material can be cut, machined, and finished efficiently with single-sided AR coating available.
Common TechPC-AR Applications
Formulated for optical and display applications that require polycarbonate impact resistance, low reflection, and clear visual performance.
Information Displays, Display Covers, & Kiosk
Clear, low-reflection panels for standard and digital displays, kiosk screens, and other viewing surfaces, including bright-environment applications.
Outdoor-Readable Displays
Helps reduce glare and improve visibility in bright environments.
Lighting Applications
Suitable for lighting applications that benefit from high transmission and reduced reflection.
Equipment Enclosures & Protective Windows
Clear, impact-resistant panels for enclosures, protected viewing areas, and other applications that require optical clarity, durability, and reduced glare.
Architectural Elements
Large-format panels for architectural applications requiring clarity and durability.
