Scratch-resistant coated film for identity cards

Identity cards such as driver's licenses, credit cards and passports have to meet ever greater functional and aesthetic demands in terms of scratch resistance. With Makrofol? TP 320, Bayer MaterialScience has developed an outer film (overlay) for these cards that is scratch-resistant and hardcoated on one side. This is part of the Makrofol? ID range, which has been specially designed for card applications. The transparent film can be laminated under high pressure and at temperatures of up to 190 °C, which are typically encountered when manufacturing these types of cards. The new polycarbonate film achieved a very good rating of "≥ HB" (DIN EN ISO 13523-4) in the pencil hardness test, an established global test standard for evaluating the surface hardness and abrasion resistance of materials. Cards made of this film are therefore much more resistant to scratching in everyday use and the gloss and transparency of the card surface are maintained for longer.
