PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SELECTED VERSAFLEX PF TACK LAYER FORMULATIONS
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Versaflex™ PF formulations are specially
developed for the manufacture of co-extruded
surface protective films that apply easily, maintain
tack with minimal build, peel smoothly and
remove completely with little-to-no residue or
ghosting.
BENEFITS OF VERSAFLEX PF FOR
SURFACE PROTECTIVE FILMS:
• Customizable tack
• Single-step manufacturing process (co-
extrusion)
• Low volatile organic compound (VOC)
emissions during manufacturing
• Eliminates secondary coating and drying
operations
• Eliminates hazardous liquid chemicals
compared to solvent systems
• Reduces converting costs versus coating
• Reduces energy consumption
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
Versaflex PF formulations, customizable
based on desired level of tack, are co-extruded
with protective films to provide just the right
amount of protection during the fabrication,
assembly, shipment, storage and installation of
finished goods in many industries and end-use
applications including:
• Optical films and display panels for consumer
electronics
• Home appliances
• Construction and building materials
• Furniture and cabinetry
• Automotive and other transportation

SURROUND™
EMI/RFI Shielding Formulations
Surround EMI/RFI Shielding Formulations are developed to protect critical electronics applications by
minimizing electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI).
These materials utilize long fiber
technology and exhibit enhanced shielding effectiveness versus standard short fiber conductive polymers.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
