PROPRIEDADES FÍSICAS DE FORMULAÇÕES DE CAMADA DE ADERÊNCIA VERSAFLEX PF SELECIONADAS
DESCRIÇÃO DO PRODUTO
As formulações Versaflex™ PF são
especialmente desenvolvidas para a fabricação
de películas protetoras de superfície
coextrudadas de fácil aplicação, mantêm a
aderência com espessura mínima, descolam
suavemente e são removidas completamente,
sem nenhum ou com pouco resíduo.
OS BENEFÍCIOS DO VERSAFLEXTM
PF PARA PELÍCULAS PROTETORAS
DE SUPERFÍCIE:
• Aderência personalizável
• Processo de fabricação de etapa única
(coextrusão)
• Baixas emissões de compostos orgânicos
voláteis (COV) durante a fabricação
• Elimina operações secundárias de
revestimento e secagem
• Elimina produtos químicos líquidos
perigosos em comparação com os sistemas
de solventes
• Reduz custos de conversão em comparação
com revestimento
• Reduz o consumo de energia
MERCADOS E APLICAÇÕES
As formulações Versaflex PF, personalizáveis
com base no nível desejado de aderência, são
coextrudadas com películas protetoras para
fornecer apenas a quantidade certa de proteção
durante a fabricação, montagem, envio,
armazenamento e instalação de produtos
acabados em muitas indústrias e aplicações
de uso final, incluindo:
• Películas ópticas e painéis de exibição
de eletrônicos para o consumo
• Eletrodomésticos
• Construção e materiais de construção
• Móveis e armários
• Automotivo e outros transportes

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
