Selenis AKOLYT KB 311 Copolyester for Film Extrusion
Categories:	Polymer; Film; Thermoplastic; Polyester, TP
Material Notes:	Selenis Akolyt KB 311 copolyester has been specifically developed for the extrusion of technical films for graphic arts in general. Films made with Selenis Akolyt KB 311 allow excellent decorative capability, permitting unlimited design freedom and full personalization of the final application. The exceptional clarity of films produced with Selenis Akolyt KB 311 allow reverse printing technique, enhancing printing optics while maximizing artwork protection. Elongation of films produced with Selenis Akolyt KB 311 permit thermoformed deep drawing, at the same time as its relatively low Tg grants energy cost savings while guaranteeing perfect adhesion to itself. Proven chemical resistance against common household detergents makes Selenis Akolyt KB 311 the perfect choice for films that will resist everyday weathering. Information provided by Selenis.
