Applications

+
Opal Diffusers

Made from milky white resin, excel at scattering light to eliminate hotspots and create a uniform glow. With light transmittance rates typically between 55-85%, they are ideal for applications requiring soft, diffused lighting without compromising brightness. These opal diffusers are commonly paired with high-power LEDs, especially in compact setups featuring short distances between the light sources and the diffuser surface, ensuring even illumination without hotspots. Used in:

  • Ceiling & Recessed Lights: Natural, glare-free illumination for offices, kitchens, and living rooms.
  • Wall & Pendant Fixtures: Smooth light for hotels, retail, and accent spaces.
  • Backlit Signage: Even glow for retail windows and digital boards.

Translucent Diffusers

They have light-scattering additives, allowing partial light passage while softening intensity. High-transmittance diffusers, typically achieving 85-94% light transmission, are essential in applications where maximum lumen output and energy efficiency are critical, while still requiring uniform light distribution. Below are the common applications:

  • Troffer Fixtures: In commercial buildings.
  • Industrial and High-Bay Lighting: In warehouses, factories, parking garages and tunnels.
  • Task lighting: In areas requiring focused illumination.
  • Machine vision: Essential for accurate imaging, inspection, and analysis
  • Shelf Lighting: Used in jewelry cases, cosmetic displays, or luxury retail.
  • Retail Showcases & Exhibits: Concealed LED strips for jewelry, cosmetics, or trade booths.
Diffused Micro Prismatic Sheets

By integrating micro-prism structures with opal or translucent diffusion levels, they reduce glare, improve visual comfort, and maintain high light efficiency. Widely used in:

  • Office & Commercial Lighting: Ideal for LED panels, ceiling troffers and downlights.
  • Architectural Design: Used in pendant lights, wall panels, and decorative luminaires to create modern, stylish interiors with soft diffusion.
  • Public Spaces: Perfect for airports, stations, and schools, where durable, glare-controlled lighting is essential for safety and comfort.
  • Healthcare & Laboratories: Provides bright yet gentle illumination, reducing eye strain in sensitive environments.
  • Industrial Applications: Delivers wide-area, efficient lighting for factories and warehouses.

Product Tolerances

+

The three materials — PMMA, PC, and PS — exhibit comparable tolerance levels.

PropertyValue
Thickness±3%
Mother board Length / Width±3.0 mm
Cut-to-Size Length / Width±0.3 mm
Light Transmittance & Haze±2%

PMMA has the highest thermal expansion among the three materials. It tends to expand when it’s hot and shrink when it’s cold. To ensure a perfect fit, use our Thermal Expansion Calculator to estimate the final dimensions before installation.

Packing

+

At Hexatron Technologies, we ensure our diffuser sheets are carefully packed so they arrive in perfect condition.

1. Standard Sheet Packing
  • Mother Sheets: Large sheets (up to standard extrusion sizes) are stacked on pallets or crates.
  • Final Cut / Cut-to-Size Sheets: Smaller sheets are carefully wrapped and separated with protective films or kraft paper, then bundled to avoid bending or warping.
2. Protection Methods
  • Surface Protection Film: All diffuser sheets are supplied with a removable protective film to prevent scratches and contamination.
  • Edge Guards / Corner Protectors: To prevent chipping or denting during handling and shipping.
3. Palletization & Securing
  • Sheets are stacked on pallets or crates with interleaving layers and secured with straps or stretch film to prevent movement during transit.
  • Maximum stack height is calculated based on sheet thickness and material to avoid warping or deformation. A pallet of 1.5 tons is the maximum weight.
4. Shipping & Handling Recommendations

Handling: Use gloves when removing protective film to prevent fingerprints.

Flat Storage: Sheets should be stored flat and supported evenly to maintain flatness.

Climate Considerations: Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or humidity, especially for PMMA, to prevent dimensional changes.
