ITO coated PET film offers an outstanding combination of properties that makes it perfect for myriads of applications across a diversity of global industries., Here are some of the properties and applications of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) ITO coated films.
Polyethylene Terephthalate Film Properties & Applications
An either bubble extruded (“blown”) or biaxially oriented (i.e. stretched into 2 directions to increase strength & stiffness and reduce elongation) thermoplastic polymer film also commonly known as polyester film, PET film boasts an extraordinary balance of properties.
Firmly positioning it among the most commonly and most popular used substrates in the converting industry, these properties also make polyester film not just comparable but superior to various other thermoplastic polymers in terms of:
- Elongation, Dimensional Stability & Melting Point
- Service Temperature Range & Insulation Breakdown
- Specific Gravity, Optical Clarity & UV Resistance
- Tear and Tensile Strength
- Density & Odour & Oxygen/Gas Permeability
- Water/Vapour Transmission Rate & Dielectric Constant
Offering exceptional tolerance to processing (i.e. vacuum coating, laminating, metallizing), PET films can also be readily engineered to meet different applications’ specific demands, which makes them the perfect solution for applications including, for instance:
- Antimicrobial, Surface Protection & Insulation Films
- Hard-Coat, Protective & Security Films
- Packaging, Printable & Tamper Evident Films
- Photovoltaic Back-Sheets, Labelling /Label Face-Stocks & More
ITO Coated PET Film
Coating these versatile films with high quality ITO coatings maintains their optical clarity (transparency) while simultaneously making them highly conductive, which further expands their range of applications to include, among others:
- Electroluminescent (EL) Lamps, Electrophoretic Displays & EMI/RFI Shielding
- Flexible Printed Circuits, Liquid Crystal Displays & Medical Sensors
- Membrane Switches, Position Sensors & Resistive/Capacitive Touch Screen Components
- Smart Windows, Transparent Heaters and More
