Films to combat counterfeiting
S
abic has launched two new polycarbonate (PC) films designed to simplify the process of adding security features to ID cards to combat counterfeiting and identity theft.The new Lexan SDCX co-extruded film and Lexan SC92E flexible hard-coated film are said to provide solutions to the challenges of constructing ID cards and security documents that are produced with an increased amount of layers and which undergo a complex manufacturing process.
Lexan SDCX co-extruded film combines a core layer of white opaque or transparent Lexan film with a clear, laser-engravable cap layer to avoid the challenges of handling separate thin film layers. Lexan SC92E hard-coated film for card overlays is claimed to surpass standard PC film in durability, including scratch and chemical resistance, helping to extend useful life and reduce resource consumption.
