KleArmor™

 
 

KleArmor™ an advanced (state-of-the-art) material for applications including optical filters (including NVIS), displays, signs, labels, face plate covering.

 

It is well-known that when Poly(methyl methacrylate), also known as acrylic in many forms, is placed into applications of uncontrolled/extreme environments, the acrylic will degrade and lose its ability to service its intended functions. Some examples of degradation are generally described as grazing, blistering and cracking. These phenomena occur while materials are in-service and exposed to harsh environments such as ultraviolet spectral irradiance, and treatments such as chemical solvents and abrasion. The reliability of the material is compromised, leading the customer to incur cost for maintenance and services at a much higher rate. Discontent customers experience a loss in revenue. Our goal is to maximize every dollar.

We have solved those problems by creating KleArmor™.

KleArmor™, the foundational material of OCS products, is a patented acrylic polymer that has a molecular cross link to make it ruggedized, making it 5 times stronger and 50% lighter than glass. It was designed with such mechanical strength, durability and flexibility to outperform glass and it exceeds standard glass clarity so as to promote a greater level of security and safety in challenging environments. It requires no special tools for modification (drill or cut) during fabrication, making it easy for installation and maintenance. We aim to make your investment last.
