TORAY INTRODUCES ADVANCED LUMIRROR® FA6 FILM FOR IN-MOLD DECORATING
Double-surface manufacturing technology enables production of film with both super-smooth and rough surfaces. The development drives productivity and gives pizzazz to end users’ products.
North Kingstown, Rhode Island (November 9, 2011)— Toray Plastics (America), Inc. (www.TorayFilms.com), is pleased to announce that its advanced manufacturing technology has led to the development of a proprietary, multi-layer polyester (PET) film ideally suited for in-mold decorating applications. Lumirror® FA6 PET film has a super smooth, ultra-consistent surface allowing for the application of decorative coatings during the converting process. End users will prefer the film’s supererior appearance and excellent converting and release properties.
“Topographical images of FA6 film prove it to be uniformly flat,” says Milan Moscaritolo, Director of Sales, Toray Plastics (America), Inc. “The lack of ‘peaks and valleys’ on the film surface means it is consistently, very smooth. In addition, unlike other films, FA6 film has a rough side that differentiates it from other films, which may only offer a smooth side, making machining or processing difficult. Ultimately, end users can offer their customers an attractive finished product that makes a bold statement.”
Lumirror FA6 film also offers excellent thermal stability and machinability, as well as other properties common to Toray’s advanced PET films.
