Polycarbonate (PC) Faceplates · Custom B2B Manufacturing

Customized
Impact-Resistant
PC Faceplates

250× stronger than glass at 1/2 the weight. Purpose-engineered for industrial HMIs, medical enclosures, and ruggedized displays -- with Winson's 100% inspection guarantee built into every batch.

IK10 Impact Rating UL94 V-0 Flame Rated -40°C to +120°C RoHS & REACH Compliant
Why Polycarbonate Over Glass?

The Engineering
Case for PC

When glass shatters in a field cabinet or a medical cart takes a corner hit, the cost isn't just the panel -- it's downtime, liability, and re-certification. PC faceplates eliminate that failure mode entirely.

PC vs. Standard Glass -- At a Glance
Impact Resistance 250× stronger
Weight (vs. glass) 50% lighter
Optical Clarity > 88% transmission

Industry Applications

Where Impact Resistance
Is Non-Negotiable

From factory floors to surgical suites -- PC faceplates are specified when failure is not an option.

Industrial Control

HMI & Machine Operator Panels

Vibration, tool impacts, and chemical cleaning cycles demand more than standard glass. PC faceplates on CNC machines, PLCs, and factory HMIs survive the shift without cracking or crazing.

  • IP65/IP67 gasket-compatible edges
  • Anti-glare surface treatment available
  • Custom cutouts for buttons & connectors

The Winson Procurement Process

From Your Drawing
to Certified Delivery

Designed by a team that has sat on both sides of the procurement table. Every step eliminates a common point of supply chain failure.

Submit Drawing

DXF, DWG, PDF, or sketch. We accept any format -- our engineers handle the rest.

DFM Review

24-hour Design for Manufacturability review. We flag issues before tooling -- not after.

Rapid Prototype

7-10 day prototype turnaround. Physical samples with full dimensional report.

100% Inspection

Every unit inspected. Optical clarity, dimensional accuracy, and surface defects -- zero compromise.

Certified Delivery

CoC, REACH/RoHS declarations, and full traceability reports ship with every order.

From Our Partner, Iris -- 12 Years in B2B Procurement
"I've been the buyer who received wrong specs, late shipments, and missing paperwork. Every process we built at Winson was designed to eliminate exactly those failures. Our customers shouldn't have to chase their supplier for a CoC."

Quality Assurance

We Inspect Like
Your Auditor Would

Most factories do AQL sampling. We do 100% inspection -- because when your device fails in the field, "statistically acceptable" is not a defense.

Our cleanroom production environment, automated optical inspection lines, and full material traceability mean your QC team can audit us at any time. We welcome it.

Buyer FAQs

Questions We Hear
from Procurement Teams

Straight answers. No marketing fluff.

Can you match our exact drawing tolerances, including complex cutouts?
Yes. Our CNC routing holds ±0.1mm on external dimensions and ±0.05mm on critical features. We accept DXF, DWG, STEP, or PDF drawings. During DFM review, we'll flag any features that require tolerance relaxation -- before you commit to tooling costs.
What documentation comes with the shipment for EU compliance?
Every shipment includes: Certificate of Conformance (CoC), RoHS Declaration of Conformity, REACH SVHC statement, material data sheet (MDS), and full lot traceability records. For medical or automotive customers, we can provide additional IEC/ISO test reports on request.
How do you handle non-conforming units -- and what's your defect rate?
Our 100% inspection protocol means non-conforming units never leave the factory. Our current first-pass yield rate is 99.8%. In the rare event of a confirmed defect reaching your facility, we replace at no cost and provide a root-cause analysis report within 5 business days.
What's the minimum order quantity, and can we start with a small prototype run?
Prototype runs start from 1-10 pieces with a 7-10 day turnaround from DFM approval. Production MOQ is 50 units. We structure pricing to make prototyping accessible -- because we'd rather prove ourselves on a small order than ask you to commit blind.
Can PC faceplates be certified to IK10 and UL94 V-0 simultaneously?
Yes. We use Makrolon® 2407 and similar grades that are inherently flame-retardant (UL94 V-0) while meeting IK10 impact resistance under EN 62262. No secondary treatments required. Material certificates from Covestro are available upon request.
