Material Guide

DURALAN II ™ Provides Excellent Clarity,
Durability, and Design Flexibility

Surface Coating
Anti-Reflective
Satin or gloss vacuum deposited surface used to cut down on ambient light • Improves light transmission • Best choice for outdoor use
Anti-Glare
Multiple gloss levels available• Provides scratch resistant surface• Suitable for indoor use• Less expensive than Anti-Reflective
Core Materials
Polycarbonate
Available in various thicknesses • Best overall choice
Acrylic
Lower cost than polycarbonate • Less impact resistant and not as flame retardant as polycarbonate • Best light transmission
Glass
Lowest cost • Suffers in impact resistance and application flexibility improves contrast in direct sunlight for emissive displays
Features Benefits
Window Clarity
Upper and lower surfaces use factory coatings instead of hand applied spray coatings, providing greater consistency

Proprietary Silver Cloud adhesives are laminated in a clean room environment to provide a clean, clear bond between layers
Graphic Durability
Your custom graphics are sandwiched internally to avoid scratching from the front or rear surface
Graphic Clarity
Custom graphics are printed near the top surface of the sandwich for easy viewing
Multiple Thicknesses
Because it is a sandwich of materials, nearly any thickness can be created
Multiple Surface
Finishes- The front and rear surfaces can be designed with most any finish that is required
Final Fabrication
Filters can be fabricated to design specifications
