At really high temperatures (above 150C), it begins to lose its orientation; it will become wavy and … Read more
What is the heat resistance of asymmetrical diffuser film? Asymmetric diffuser film is designed to withstand heat up to 80C/145F. Exposure at higher temperatures will cause the film to start to melt, and its diffusion lens system will become deformed.
What is the heat resistance of Acetate film and sheets? Acetate starts to soften at 100C/210F. The film will soften very evenly which makes Acetate ideal for thermoforming and heat sealing application.
