A solvent-vapor process that restores near-optical clarity to clear plastic parts without mechanical abrasion.
A chemical finishing process that uses solvent vapor to briefly soften and smooth the outer surface of a clear plastic part, restoring near-optical clarity without abrasive contact.
The part is exposed to a controlled solvent vapor that briefly softens the outermost layer of the plastic. Surface tension pulls the softened material smooth as it re-hardens, filling in the microscopic ridges left by machining or printing.
Machined polycarbonate parts where surface clarity is a functional requirement — light guides, viewing windows, and optical housings.
