The VueGuard 930 C is a general-purpose, optical clear, UV curable anti-fog coating.It survives washing with multipurpose water and alcohol-based cleaners as well as, oxidative, strongly basic and acidic cleaners.
The VueGuard 930 C-AM offers both Anti-Fog and Anti-Microbial properties that inhibit the ability of microbes to grow and minimizes the spread of disease.
The VueGuard 930 PST is the recommended AF Post Surface Treatment used to clean, remove dirt, oils, and other contaminants. It also maintains the anti-fog properties of the treated article for an exceptionally long time.
This coating has adhesion to technical thermoplastics. It is three times better in scratch resistance and will survive three hours at 140°C without total loss of anti-fog properties.
It was also formulated to be capable of being washed multiple times with alcohol based cleaners.
