Design and consultation services: Slater Plastics offer an optical display filter design and consultation service, to help you to design filters for your display requirements. Displays are used in all applications from public information, through to man machine interfaces. This means that the physical properties of a filter will vary to suit it´s performance needs.

Consideration will often need to be given to several characteristics, including, impact resistance, solvent and abrasion resistance, reflection control, fire specifications, U.V. resistance or protection, RFI shielding, ESD, anti - static and anti - mist.

Filters can be designed to incorporate several characteristics in one part, and material selected from allyl carbonate or CR39 ^TM, acrylic, polycarbonate, polyester and glass.

If a filter is designed correctly it can reduce cost, improve the readability of the display and allow your product to look at it´s best for a long time.

A display filter is the part of your equipment which is looked at for the majority of it´s life. If badly designed it can have a detrimental effect on the performance and sales of your product.

For all our customers who buy finished filters from us, the design time is free of charge. We are happy to help with the design of filters even if we are not going to be the manufacturer, but a consultation fee will be discussed prior to any work commencing.
