General Comparison of Sheeting Method (Extrusion vs. Cell-Casting Method)

Here explains what is Cell-Casting method and its features, and advantages comparing to Extrusion method.

Cell-Casting MethodCast “Liquid MMA” directly into Cell-Mold. (Batch Process)
Suitable for High-Mix/Low-Volume Production.
Extrusion MethodPut “PMMA Pellet” into the extruder and make it flat sheet. (Continuous Process)
Suitable for Low-Mix/High-Volume Production.
Cell-Casting MethodExtrusion Method
AdvantageNo. Double Refraction (No birefringence). Suitable for optical sensor cover filter.

High-Mix/Low-Volume. Color match and other customization.

Higher Molecular Weight better chemical resistance		Shorter production lead-time and lower production cost because of continuous process.

Easier to control thickness tolerance.

Easy to make large size sheet.
DisadvantageLonger production lead-time and higher production cost because of batch process.

More difficult to control thickness tolerance.		Double Refraction (birefringence) in general.

Not flexible in terms of customization. Low-Mix/High-Volume.

CLAREX Technology Platform

We customize or develop many customer requested products by combining our original Technology Platform described below.

5 basic technologies

Design (Optical/Polymer)

Design Technique

  • Optical Design … Ref: CLAREX Contrast Enhancement Technology
    • Spectrum Control：UV / NIR / Laser Scanner Filter etc.
    • Light Distribution：HSOT LightGuide / Projection Screen etc.
  • Polymer Design
    • Heat Resistant PMMA / Low moisture absorption PMMA etc.

Thickness

Tickness Control (0.2mm～90mm)

  • CLAREX Precision Sheet : 0.2mm～5.0mm
  • CLAREX General Sheet : 2.0mm～90mm

Surface Texture

Highly Smooth & Flat Surface

  • Glass-like Ultra-Smooth Surface.

Many Non-Glare & Matt surface textures to choose from

  • One-Side Non-Glare (Matt)
  • Both-Sides Non-Glare (Matt)
  • You can choose different Non-Glare texture on one sheet.

Coating

Variety of single & multi-layer optical coating

  • Hard Coating / Scratch Resistant Coating (6H or over)
  • Anti-Reflection (AR) Coating / Mirror Coating
  • ITO Coating / EMI Shield
  • Anti-Bacteria (AB) Coating
  • Anti-Fingerprint Coating / Anti-Smudge Coating
  • IR-Cut Coating

Processing

From Material Production to Machine Processing

  • Cutting & NC routing (90°/ V ditch / mirror surface / etc.)
  • Printing (Silk Screen / etc.)
  • Mold Processing (Heat Bending / Blow / Press / etc.)
  • Lamination (UV / Heat / etc.)
