Quality Plastic Film and Plastic Sheets
What is the heat resistance of our surface protection film? These films are designed for use in environments below 65C/140F. At higher temperatures, the adhesive becomes soft and loses adhesion. At really high temperatures (above 140C), the film begins to lose its orientation, becoming wavy and soft. If you need a matte film for higher … Read more
What is the heat resistance of Shrink-Art Films? Well, it’s fairly low, compared with other films like our DuraLar™ films. It’s even a little less heat resistant than our ClearLay™ Rigid PVC and our acetate film. But that’s a good thing! The whole point of Shrink-Art film is to bake it in an oven and … Read more
What is the heat resistance of our pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) DuraLar™ films? PSA DuraLar is designed for use in environments below 65C/140F. At higher temperatures, the adhesive becomes soft and loses adhesion. At really high temperatures (above 150C), it begins to lose its orientation; it will become wavy and shrink. If you need a … Read more
What is the heat resistance of Laser-printable (PPC/Laser) film? PPC/Laser Ffilm is designed to handle the quick high heat exposure in toner-based plain-paper copiers and laser printers. Its coatings are designed to be used in environments up to 85C/185F. At higher temperatures, the printable surface could yellow, or lose some of its toner adhesion properties. … Read more
What is the heat resistance of polypropylene sheets (PP)? Polypropylene starts to soften at 70C/1580F. The film will soften very evenly, which makes HDPE ideal for thermoforming, bending, and heat sealing applications.
What is the heat resistance of LaserPro™ laser cuttable films? LaserPro films will begin to soften at about 150C/300F. When this films soften, it begin to lose its orientation; get wavy and begin to shrink. So if your film will only be exposed to a heat environment below 150C/300F, LaserPro is a good choice.
What is the heat resistance of HDPE sheets? HDPE starts to soften at 70C / 128F. The film will soften very evenly, which makes HDPE ideal for thermoforming, bending, and heat sealing applications.
What is the heat resistance of Hazy DuraLar™ film and sheets. Hazy DuraLar will begin to soften at about 150C/300F. When DuraLar softens, it begins to lose its orientation; it gets wavy and begins to shrink. So if your film will only be exposed to a heat environment below 150C/300F, Hazy DuraLar is a good … Read more
What is the heat resistance of flexible PVC film and sheets? Flexible PVC film starts to soften at 60C/140F. This is due to its plasticizer content. The softer the film, the more plasticizer, the lower temp it melts at. So if your film will only be exposed to a heat environment below 60C/140F, flexible PVC … Read more
What is the heat resistance of Drafting Film? Drafting Film is designed for use in environments below 85C/185F. At higher temperatures, the matte surface could yellow, or loose some of it’s ink adhesion properties. At really high temperatures above 150C it begins to loose it’s orientation, thus it will become wavy and shrink. If you … Read more
