MELINEX® 461

Product Description
MELINEX® 461 is a high clarity polyester film manufactured with a coating on one surface that promotes adhesion to many solvent formulations and to most vinyl or acrylic base ink systems.

The adhesion pretreated surface is wound outside of the roll.

Typical Applications
MELINEX® 461 is used in many general industrial applications where clarity and adhesion properties are critical, e.g., coating, lamination and label applications.
