Melinex® 462 is a high clarity polyester film manufactured with a coating on both surfaces that promotes adhesion to many solvent formulations and to most vinyl or acrylic base ink systems.
|
|
Melinex® 462 is used in many general industrial applications where clarity and adhesion properties are critical, e.g., coating, lamination and print-on applications.
