Advantages
High Light Transmittance
Visible light transmission exceeding 91% (varies by thickness), ensuring true color reproduction and sharp information display in applications like lighting and displays.
Ultra-Low Haze (Haze <1%)
Minimizes light scattering for enhanced image sharpness, clarity, and wider viewing angles—delivering premium performance in demanding visual systems.
Superior Optical Uniformity
Consistent refractive index prevents localized hotspots or chromatic aberrations, critical for high-precision applications such as optical light guides and touch panels.
Versatile Surface Treatments
Anti-Glare (AG): Reduces surface reflections to improve readability in outdoor/strong-light environments.
Anti-Reflection (AR): Boosts transmittance while minimizing glare interference.
Anti-Fingerprint (AF): Repels smudges for easy cleaning, enhancing user experience and visual cleanliness.
Hard Coat (HC): Reinforces scratch resistance to extend product lifespan.
Application Fields
Nameplates & Signages
Acrylic film delivers vibrant patterns and crisp text on nameplates through its high light transmittance and superior gloss, significantly enhancing visual impact. Its exceptional weather resistance ensures long-term UV and climate resilience, preventing color fading. The smooth surface excels in screen printing and UV inkjet applications, guaranteeing durable adhesion and precise detailing. Optional hard coating (HC) treatment further boosts scratch resistance for extended product lifespan.
Functional Panels
With high optical clarity, acrylic film ensures bright, clear display interfaces for optimal user experience. Outstanding print compatibility supports screen, offset, and digital printing, achieving vivid colors and accurate details. Hard coating reinforces abrasion resistance for industrial durability. Excellent thermoforming capabilities (heat bending, vacuum forming etc.) enable complex 3D designs. Custom anti-fingerprint (AF) and anti-reflection (AR) coatings enhance tactile comfort and aesthetic appeal.
Lighting Applications
In lighting systems, acrylic film provides uniform, glare-free diffusion with >91% transmittance and <1% haze, elevating illumination quality. Stable refractive index ensures consistent light paths for optical components like light guides. Advanced thermoforming supports vacuum molding and heat bending for diverse lampshades and decorative structures. Customizable anti-glare (AG) treatments meet specific haze requirements while improving visual comfort.
Acrylic Film for INS Automotive Interior Applications
INS (Insert Mould Decoration) is an integrated surface decoration technology combining thermoforming and injection molding. This process achieves seamless integration of patterns, textures, and structural components by precisely positioning decorative films within molds, followed by simultaneous molding with injected resin. INS technology delivers not only environmental sustainability and efficiency but also guarantees consistent decorative surfaces with premium visual quality.
In this process, the performance of surface films directly determines the end product’s aesthetics and durability. Kaixin acrylic film is engineered specifically for INS applications, featuring exceptional thermoforming stretchability, high transparency, and outstanding chemical resistance, delivering critical support for automotive interior components.
Material Structure and Process Compatibility
Acrylic films for INS applications typically feature a multi-layer composite structure with the following configuration:
Surface Layer:
High-wear-resistant PMMA substrate with Hard Coat (HC) or Anti-Scratch (AS) coating to enhance scratch/corrosion resistance.
Intermediate Layer:
Decorative printed layer supporting diverse patterns/textures (brushed metal, carbon fiber, wood grain, etc.) for customized aesthetics.
Backing Layer:
Primer coating engineered for strong adhesion to injection resins (PC/ABS, PP，etc.), ensuring bonding strength and molding stability.
This architecture delivers:
Superior ink adhesion and thermoforming stability
Compatibility with back-injection molding (120°C–150°C) across multiple resins (PC, PC+ABS, ABS)
Guaranteed structural integrity and premium decorative outcomes
