  • Consumer and durable goods
  • Graphic arts
  • Leisure and safety
  • Specialty films

Key Attributes

  • Does not contain Bisphenol-A (BPA)
  • Does not contain plasticizers
  • Excellent clarity
  • Very good heat resistance
  • No pre-drying of film prior to thermoforming
  • Good chemical resistance
  • Good toughness
  • Wide thermoforming window
