Term: Optical Clarity

Category: Performance Features of Coatings

Definition: Optical clarity is how well a material lets light pass through without scattering, bending, or being absorbed, so things seen through it look clear and sharp. It is an important property for materials like glass, plastic, and coatings. A material with high optical clarity is very transparent and has little or no cloudiness or haze.
