Clear Moisture-Resistant Polyester Film

Widely used as packaging, this polyester film absorbs almost no moisture and resists swelling in wet environments. It is also known as PET and PETE.

Ultra-Electrically-Insulating Polyester Film

An aluminum coating on this film reflects heat, so it’s widely used as an insulator and in packaging applications. Made of polyester, which is also called PET and PETE, this wear-resistant film is comparable to Mylar.

High-Temperature 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.

Skived—Skived products are more likely to curl than extruded and molded products.

Smooth Texture—Film with a smooth texture releases cleanly from rubber and most synthetic resins.

Rough Texture—The rough texture masks scratches, scuffs, and fingerprints.

Powder Protective Coatings

More durable and scratch resistant than liquid paint, use this dry paint with your powder coating system. Apply directly to unpainted metal and heat-cure in an oven for a smooth, baked-on finish.

Moisture-Resistant Polyester Sheets

Strong and stiff, these polyester sheets won’t swell in moist environments, so they’re often made into pump components, valves, and spacers. They are easy to machine and wear resistant. This material is also called PET and PETE.

Weather-Resistant Polyester Sheets

These black polyester sheets protect from UV rays better than off-white polyester. Strong and semi-rigid, they won't swell in moist environments, so they're often made into pump components and spacers. They’re wear resistant and easy to machine. This material is also called PET and PETE.
