The Standard for Flawless Clarity:
- Zero Visual Defects: Extruded in cleanroom environments to eliminate black spots, bubbles, and inclusions.
- Ultimate Transparency: Delivers 89% - 91% light transmission with ultra-low haze (< 0.5%).
- Tight Thickness Tolerance: Precision OMIPA lines ensure thickness deviation within ±0.05mm, preventing optical distortion.
- Automotive & Display Ready: 100% Virgin Optical-Grade Resin (Bayer/Sabic) backed by IATF 16949 certification.
★ Ideal for Electronic Screens, Helmet Visors, and Medical Devices.
What Makes a Polycarbonate Sheet "Optical Grade"?
Standard clear polycarbonate is excellent for general glazing, but high-end applications like electronic displays, automotive dashboards, and safety visors cannot tolerate even microscopic impurities. Optical distortion or "waviness" causes eye fatigue and screen reading errors.
At Bakway, our Optical Grade Polycarbonate Sheets are manufactured in highly controlled, dust-free cleanroom workshops. By utilizing specialized optical-grade resins and Italian OMIPA extrusion technology with precision polished rollers, we guarantee sheets with uniform thickness, stress-relieved surfaces, and zero visual defects (no die lines, fish eyes, or black specks).
