Compared to current solvent-
based coating technology, co-extrusion film using
Versaflex CF has significantly reduced volatile
organic compound (VOC) emissions and helps
reduce energy consumption by eliminating
secondary coating and drying operations.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• High initial adhesion on steel, PMMA, and various
other substrates
• Stable and low adhesion build-up over time to
prevent residue
• Low unwinding force for improved efficiency
when pasting film
• Good gel control
• One-step extrusion processing to improve
manufacturing efficiency
• Reduced VOC emissions compared to current
solvent-based coating technology
• Can be recycled as a thermoplastic material
APPLICATIONS
The low adhesion build-up performance of Versaflex
CF 6668 TPE makes it ideal for use in protective films
for high-end applications including:
• Appliance
• Household furniture
• Building & construction
• Automotive
