Efficient, high-quality surface refinement
puroclear® products are used as casting materials for the tool-related refinement of wooden trim parts or thermoplastic parts – either for transparent or coloured coatings. The Casting materials are for example used in the automotive industry.
Advantages:
- UV-stability
- Easy processing / economic production, i.e. by self-releasing adjustment
- High scratch resistance / self-healing effect / unique suitability for everyday use
- Custom-made differentiated surface solutions
- High gloss level and brilliant 3D effect
- Detailed impression of finest surface structures
- Combination of both
- Production of functional, 3-D-touch or anti-reflective coatings possible
- Durable performance
- Proven in large scale production
- OEM approved
The combination of puroclear® with thermoplastic injection moulding is also very interesting: It is an efficient and low-emission alternative to cost-intensive painting to refine the surface of injection moulding components. Besides that, the high-quality surface coating scores by covering small defects of the substrate and by giving a brilliant 3D depth effect on your component. puroclear®.

puroclear® IT (= self releasing) is a system providing up to 1.500 demoulding processes without external release agent and thus enabling an almost off-tool production. Rework and scrap rate are significantly reduced. Impressions of high-glossy or rough surfaces with an impressive degree of repeatability are made possible.
puroclear®-systems with self-healing properties are hard coating materials characterized by an extraordinary suitability for everyday use. We adapt the self-healing effect according to your application.
Leatherlike haptics are possible with puroclear® in soft adjustment. They can be used as an alternative to puroskin® also for light colours.
