AMT Polym PCAP Touch Solution Brings Safety To A New Level!

01/24/2022 | Bulletin No. : AMTNE22001

Applications such as the food industry and public touch devices often avoid glass materials in their touch devices for safety reasons. AMT incorporated a new material – polymer composite into our new projected capacitive (PCAP) touch device to improve the ability to withstand impact. Polymer composite makes the device thin, light-weighted, and highly durable, markedly enhanced impact resistance. Introducing the whole new Polym Touch! Choose Polym! It can take the safety of your product to the next level!

Thin, Light, Durable And Anti-UV

For impact-resistant PCAP touch products, thick glass cover lenses are often used. Unfortunately, the weight of the glass cover increases significantly when the size of the product increases. In opposition, Polym Touch uses polymer composite for the cover, which is only half of the weight of glass. The introduction of this material makes the product thin, light-weighted, yet still meets the IK10 drop ball test specification! With our innovation, the thickness and weight of your product could be notably reduced while the impact-resistance ability remains satisfying! Last but not least, the polymer composite comes with anti-ultraviolet features, which meets the standard of ASTM G154-Cycle 1, 1000 hours. It can withstand UV ray damage without additional processing!

Product Design

AMT Polym Touch is now available in PCAP touch panels up to ≤15” (362 x 216mm) in outside dimension. Choices such 1.0mm, 1.5mm and 2.0mm polymer composite material are available. Please be reminded that, larger size request thicker cover lens. This polymer composited material can apply to all of the diversed PCAP design as well as the controllers AMT offers, such as PenMount P2 series (Microchip IC), PenMount K1 series (ILITEK IC), and AE series (EETI IC) touch controllers.

Special Notice

However excellent Polymer composite is, it remains a plastic material. We want to remind clients the material does deform under high temperature and humidity. If the composite material deforms, the appearance will be affected. HOWEVER, the touch function will be maintained within the range of operating and storage temperatures!

Polym Is For Protection

Polym Touch has excellent impact resistance and is suitable for small and medium-sized products that require no glass fragments to fly out or products that need to be light-weighted but can still pass the IK10 specification. AMT will continue to improve the functionality, flexibility, and reliability of the PCAP solution. We value your needs and concerns and see them as opportunities to further develop and add value to our products.
