Melinex® 473 is a high clarity polyester film manufactured with a coating on one surface that improves slip and handling characteristics. The opposite surface is raw polyester (non-coated).
|
|
The slip treated surface is wound inside of the roll and the raw surface (non-coated) is on the outside surface of the roll.
|
|
Melinex 473 is used in many general industrial applications where clarity and handling properties are critical, e.g., overlay, lamination and printing applications.
