Can a protective coating be used to reduce scratching?
TLC’s vacuum stage is equipped with operator-controlled substrate flotation when the vacuum is turned off. An operator can adjust the amount of flotation required for a particular substrate, reducing possible surface scratches on sensitive coatings. Also, the Gen-3 TLC Phoenix-600®will easily cut through Nitto® Tape or other protective polymer membranes in the glass/substrate cutting process, leaving the protective coat on the broken out parts until they are placed into their final application.
