Homalite
produces two types of thermosetting polyester display filters:
H-100 and H-101. For optimum contrast and readability Homalite
display filters are available in colors designed to meet requirements of a wide variety of displays.
Choosing the proper color will give sharp, clear characters
with enhanced contrast between the information displayed and the
background. Homalite can also do custom colors and can match many
other filter colors. All Homalite material are available with
a low-reflectance surface finish.By increasing contrast and reducing glare the display
can be read easily and accurately under varied lighting conditions.
Because
Homalite materials are thermosetting plastics the display
filters are more rigid and resistant to
impact heat and chemical attack than other plastic filters.
They also have good resistance to abrasion.
Homalite H-101 is a self-extinguishing fire-retardant grade
for high-temperature applications. It has a UL rating of UL94V-0
at .125" and above. All Homalite filters can be cleaned
with soap and water, acetone, chlorinated and other commercial
solvents or common glass cleaning preparations.
Homalite fabricates display
filters using two laser-cutting machines. All Homalite products
ordered as finished parts are available with a variety of
specialized coatings (for example EMI/RFI shielding.) They
are also available with silk-screening and with adhesive for
ease in assembly. Homalite H-100 and H-101 is also available in sheet stock.
