Flow coating which results into an anti-scratch sheet.
Dip coating which involves immersing the sheet into the anti-scratch coating but it should be at a constant speed.
The sheet should be immersed in the coat at a constant speed and withdrawn at a constant speed.
Speed determines the thickness and uniformity of the anti-scratch coating.
Spin coating, coatings can be spin to apply the anti-scratch substrates on the impact resistant polycarbonate sheet.
A small deposit of the ant scratch substrate should be placed at the material center then the substrate is spinning done at a speed of 3000rpm.
Since there are high speed levels, the centripetal forces makes the substrate to spread to the edges thus leaving a thin film behind.
Roll coating, in this type of coating, rollers are used to do the coating.
The rollers being used controllably release the anti-scratch substrates onto the sheet thus making it become scratch resistant.
