About infrared transmitting polycarbonate
Infrared-transmitting polycarbonate can transmit infrared rays and block ultraviolet (UV) and visible light. Some people call it “IRT polycarbonate” or “IR polycarbonate”. It is recommended to be used for the transmitters and receivers of infrared rays, for example, Cameras, Rifle Optics, Sighting Devices, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Automatic Drive, Home Automation, etc.
UVTECO Infrared Transmitting Polycarbonate is made from specifically formulated polycarbonate plastic. It offers a standard threshold value of 700 Nanometers and custom threshold values from 570 to 800 nanometers.
As a leading supplier of IRT polycarbonate sheets in China, UVTECO offers different thicknesses from 0.8mm to 3mm. We also offer machining services, such as cutting to size, die-cutting, CNC routing, thermal forming, silk-screen printing, and injection molding.
