We specialize in advanced thermo-polymer formations in stretched acrylic, cast acrylic and polycarbonate, always with minimal optical distortion and aberration, such as this hard coated acrylic helicopter pilot window. CLI can also offer forms in fiberglass laminate for applications such as window edgings.
EXPERIENCE
Our enterprise possesses comprehensive experience employing the latest and most advanced techniques within the industry, to achieve precise contour control, creating the very highest quality products for strength and durability.
TECHNICAL EXPERTISE
Within the transparency industry, our specialty is working with bi-axially stretched acrylics, (MIL-PRF-25690) ― a stronger, crack propagation resistant acrylic; cast acrylics (MIL-PRF-8184, and MIL-PRF-5425), and polycarbonate for products requiring very high impact resistance.
CLI also employs various industry standard techniques such as drape forming, vacuum forming, wet forming, and blow forming, to achieve precise control of window contours, yet always maintaining defect and distortion free optics.
FLEXIBILITY TO YOUR EXACT REQUIREMENTS
We are also capable to form products on customer supplied tools, or able to assist you in the development of specific products, and in the building of new tools for complex applications.
