Market Overview:
The global hardcoated polycarbonate film market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for hardcoated polycarbonate films in membrane switches, displays, touch screens, and other applications. Hardcoated polycarbonate films are used as a protective layer over the substrate material and offer scratch resistance and abrasion resistance properties. These films also have high transparency levels and are optically clear in nature. This makes them suitable for use in various applications such as membrane switches, displays, touch screens, and others where optical clarity is required.
Product Definition:
A film that has a hard, durable coating applied to one or both sides. This type of film is typically used in applications where abrasion resistance and/or durability is required.
Hard:
Hardcoated Polycarbonate film is a type of plastic film that is coated with an acrylic polymer. The process to make this product involves mixing the polymers and then coating them in a vacuum. This helps create a smooth surface on one side while leaving the other side rough or textured, depending on the desired application. It can be used for food packaging, consumer goods packaging, automotive applications such as instrument panels & windows and industrial applications such as protective clothing & footwear among others.
Soft:
The soft coating is applied to the polycarbonate film and it acts as a base for the color. The type of plasticizer used in the coating process depends on its compatibility with polycarbonate films. The most commonly used plasticizers are phthalates, glycerol esters, and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Soft coatings are widely utilized in applications such as automotive interiors where high-quality finishes are required along with UV resistance.
Application Insights:
Membrane switches was the largest application segment in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. Membrane switches are used in various applications such as building & construction, HVAC, medical equipment, industrial machinery and consumer electronics.
