About Plastic

This film is made with virgin Teflon® PTFE resins. It can handle extreme temperatures and resists most solvents. It’s also an excellent electrical insulator. PTFE has a naturally slippery surface that allows objects to easily slide across it. This film is skived, so the edges may curl.

Film with an etched texture has one side that is scuffed to readily accept adhesive; the other side is smooth.

Chemical-Resistant Slippery PTFE Film

PTFE has a naturally slippery surface that allows objects to easily slide across it. It resists most solvents and stands up to extreme temperatures. It’s also an excellent electrical insulator.

Film with a smooth texture is skived, so the edges may curl.

High-Temperature Moisture-Resistant Polyester Film

Often used as a separator when heating parts in an oven, this wear-resistant film can also protect surfaces when etching or sanding. Also called PET and PETE, polyester resists swelling when exposed to moisture. When used as a separator, film should be cut larger than the piece it is being released from.

Film with a smooth texture releases cleanly from rubber and most synthetic resins. This film is skived, so the edges may curl.
