Intercast Europe S.r.L. supplies optical sheet cast from a family of thermosetting polymeric blends. The availability of technologies includes sheet based on CR-39™ monomer (Allyl Diglycol Carbonate).
Cast CR-39 sheets have unique optical and mechanical properties superior to most other plastic transparent materials.
CR-39 monomer was developed as a substitute for glass and is often called organic glass. It has similar refractive index, chemical resistance and mechanical properties to glass. CR-39 monomer has been used for many years in the manufacture of ophthalmic lenses. Today more than 60% of ophthalmic plastic lenses are made from CR-39 monomer.
CR-39 sheet products are custom manufactured per customer specifications for the following original equipment markets:
- Consumer Electronics
- Ruggedized Flat Panel Displays
- Hand Held Devices
- Industrial Electronics
- Industrial Process Instrumentation
- Medical Instruments
- Membrane Switches
- Touch Panels
- Optical Filters
- Contrast Enhancement Filters
- Bar Code Scanning Devices and Systems
- Cameras
- Lighting Systems & Signage
- Glazing Applications
- Welding Cover Plates
- Nuclear Track Detectors
