LEXAN Optical Quality Polycarbonate Sheet

Standard polycarbonate sheets are designed for strength and general transparency. However, in optical and high-precision glazing applications, even minor defects such as distortion, inclusions, or surface imperfections can compromise performance.

LEXAN™ High Optical Quality (OQ) Sheet is engineered specifically to eliminate these limitations.

Manufactured in a controlled clean room environment, it delivers exceptional optical clarity with minimal distortion, extremely low defect levels, and superior surface quality, making it suitable for optical-grade glazing and lamination applications.

What is LEXAN™ Optical Quality Sheet?

LEXAN™ OQ sheet is a premium-grade polycarbonate sheet manufactured under clean room conditions to ensure extremely low levels of visual and structural defects.

It is designed for applications where optical precision, clarity, and distortion control are critical, including security laminates, transportation glazing, and protective visors and shields.

Unlike standard sheets, OQ sheets are controlled for black specks and inclusions, air bubbles and fibers, surface defects and coating imperfections, and optical distortion and ripple.

This ensures consistent, high-quality visual performance across the entire sheet.
