Quality Plastic Film and Plastic Sheets
Acetate is environmentally friendly and offers significant advantages for use in many industries. Because it is a solution-cast film made from wood and cotton, it has unique properties, including the ability to transmit moisture, optical clarity, and low birefringence. For example, acetate film is ideal for use with bakery products that are packed while still … Read more
We do not recommend using Acetate for long term outdoor applications. Stock versions of this film do not contain any UV inhibitors, so when exposed to UV rays over long periods, the film will become brittle and lose its properties. Temporary exposure should not pose significant problems. For longer term outdoor exposure applications, you may … Read more
Because acetate film and sheets soften easily at higher temperatures, it is ideal for thermoforming and heat sealing applications. We highly recommend testing the film to make sure it is suitable for your specific application. Contact us today for samples to test in your thermoforming application.
Acetate softens and starts to lose its form at 100C/210F. Softening is also dependent on how long the film is exposed to high temperatures. If you expose the film to a constant elevated temperature, it can lose its physical properties as well. It’s ability to soften at these temperatures makes Acetate ideal for thermoforming … Read more
Acetate film is not designed specifically to be printed. However, it can be Screen Printed, Pad Printed, Thermal Printed and Commercial Inkjet printed (Solvent, UV and EcoSolvent inks). It may work with offset lithography or flexographic methods but it will depend on your ink systems. We recommend that you contact your ink vendor to see … Read more
