SilFORT™ FHC615 Hardcoat is a thermally cured, thermoformable hardcoat designed to protect plastic substrates used in demanding exterior applications. This hardcoat provides a high level of durability, weatherability, and chemical resistance, making it an ideal solution for optical and protective coatings on automotive, aerospace, and industrial plastic components.

The thermoformable nature of SilFORT™ FHC615 allows it to be molded and shaped after coating, making it an excellent candidate for curved and complex plastic parts. It helps improve the longevity of plastic materials by offering high resistance to UV exposure, environmental degradation, and physical wear while maintaining optical clarity.

Key Benefits and Features:

✅ Thermoformable – Ideal for curved and complex plastic parts.
✅ Transparent – Maintains optical clarity for applications like windshields and visors.
✅ High Abrasion & Scratch Resistance – Protects against wear and tear from daily use.
✅ Excellent Chemical Resistance – Withstands exposure to solvents, fuels, and cleaning agents.
✅ Weather-Resistant – Provides UV and environmental protection for long-term outdoor use.
✅ Easy-to-Clean Surface – Helps maintain a smooth, dirt-repellent finish.
✅ Compatible with Primers – Recommended use with SHP401 primer for better adhesion to plastics like Polycarbonate (PC), PMMA, and PET.
✅ Eco-Friendly & Recyclable – Facilitates sustainable product design.

Composition and Formulation:

SilFORT™ FHC615 is a single-component lacquer formulated using a blend of glycol-ether solvent and isopropyl alcohol. It is optimized for uniform application using spray, dip, roller, or flow coating methods, making it suitable for high-volume industrial production.
