What are, how are, and where are plastic sheets manufactured?

Plastic roofing sheets are a manifestation of material sheet produced out of extruded plastic. The plastic sheet manufacturer supplies it in a few diverse non-fading shades, including forested orange, forested green and smoke brown. These are few basic color but other colors are also available according to customer’s desires.

Clear protection for a clearer technical world!

Flexible organic electronic devices have to be protected from water vapor and oxygen in order to guarantee an adequately long lifetime. The Fraunhofer Polymer Surfaces Alliance POLO has developed a technology for modifying polymer films with a layer system that is almost impermeable to water vapor and oxygen, without significantly impairing the flexibility and optical transparency of the film. The technology is based on oxide layers deposited by reactive sputtering which are separated by an intermediate polymer layer. The barrier layer system can be adapted to other substrates or according to specific customer requirements. For example, the film can be provided with a further protective layer or transparent conductive layer in order to use it as a substrate for (organic) electronic components such as organic light emitting diodes.2 Roll-to-roll pilot plant (coFlex600) for inorganic barrier layer deposition Technology. The transparent inorganic barrier layers (Fraunhofer FEP) are deposited by using reactive dual magnetron sputtering in a roll-to-roll pilot plant. After deposition of a barrier layer, the ORMOCER intermediate and top layers (Fraunhofer ISC) are applied in a pilot plant using inverse gravure printing (Fraunhofer IVV). This process takes place under clean room conditions.  Thereafter, the second barrier layer and, if required, a transparent conductive layer are applied via magnetron sputtering.
