Accentia Transparent Optical Coating is a low resistance, vacuum deposited layer of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) on optically clear film.  It combines Sheldahl's world class expertise in web handling, vacuum metalization and material processing with a wide range of resistance levels and film choices.  We offer a complete range of coatings with lower resistance for touch screens, EL illumination, displays, and EMI Shielding along with high resistance coatings on polyimide or FEP film for static dissipation.

Accentia ITO is available at standard resistance levels of 60, 100, 200, 250 and 300 ohms per square. The standard base films are 2, 5 and 7 mil (50, 125 and 175 micron) fully stabilized, optically clear polyester (custom films also available.) Other product choices include:

Films: PET, PES, PC, PEN, Aclar®
Additional Coatings: Antiglare or Gloss Hard Coat, Antireflection Coating

Sheldahl's Accentia patterned ITO products add the feature of customer designed patterning of transparent electrically conductive thin Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) coatings on polyester films. Sheldahl’s high technology roll to roll patterning process provides customized solutions for projective capacitive touch sensors, smart windows, flexible OLED displays, and flexible solar cell applications. Complementing the ITO patterning, Sheldahl can also add circuitry features such as silver ink traces, carbon connection pads, and insulating overcoats.

Sheldahl's Accentia is the only product of its kind that offers "converging technologies."  When you design with Accentia ITO you get value-added capabilities such as: patterning (laser and chemical wet etch), conductive silver ink, coatings and laminations, laser inspection, electrical testing and other metalized materials.   Accentia transparent coating allows you to leverage all of these technologies thus reaching the industry's widest range of product capability.
