Optical Polymers International based in Milford, Connecticut, USA, supplies optical sheet cast from a family of thermosetting polymeric blends based on ADC, Allyl Diglycol Carbonate monomer. Cast ADC sheet has unique optical and mechanical properties superior to other transparent materials without any of their disadvantages.
ADC, sometimes called CR-39 °, was developed as a substitute for glass and is often called organic glass. It has almost the same refractive index, chemical resistance and similar mechanical properties as glass. ADC monomer has been used for many years in the manufacture of ophthalmic lenses. Today more than 80% of ophthalmic plastic lenses are made of ADC.
Optical Polymer's ADC sheet is cast from a family of proprietary allyl diglycol carbonate formulations which produce optical sheet with superior properties for all display applications. Three types of sheet are available: standard, hi-temperature resistant and hi impact resistant. ADC is available with three "cast in" matte surface finishes for superior glare reduction.
Display readout windows and optical filters are custom fabricated from ADC to meet the most demanding applications and are available in almost any thickness, shape or color. ADC is accurately cut to size with state of the art precision laser edging technology.
