Nanotechnology Hardcoat for PC & acrylic windows.


New clear, scratch-resistant coatings for polycarbonate A category of plastic materials used to make a myriad of products, including CDs and CD-ROMs.  and acrylic windows on electronic and medical devices are based on silica silica or silicon dioxide, chemical compound, SiO2. It is insoluble in water, slightly soluble in alkalies, and soluble in dilute hydrofluoric acid. Pure silica is colorless to white.  nano-particles in a coating 4 to 10 microns thick. These coatings were developed by California Hardcoating Co., San Diego San Diego (săn dēā`gō), city (1990 pop. 1,110,549), seat of San Diego co., S Calif., on San Diego Bay; inc. 1850. San Diego includes the unincorporated communities of La Jolla and Spring Valley. Coronado is across the bay. , which offers them on their own or applies them as a service with its new spin-coating process. The new coatings and process are said to achieve an exceptionally clean and smooth result without the thickness gradients, drip-off marks, and "orange peel" caused by dip- or flow-coating methods. The coatings are based on siloxanes, acrylates, urethanes, and epoxies This article is about the band named the Epoxies. For the adhesive, see Epoxy.

The Epoxies are an American band from Portland, Oregon formed in 2000. Heavily influenced by punk rock and New Wave the band has described themselves as robot garage rock.
