DuPont™ Tedlar® PVF film has been used in numerous commercial applications for over 50 years. It is a biaxially-oriented, highly functional, stable film that provides long-lasting finish. This high-performance material is sought after extensively for a wide variety of industrial market surfaces.
- Due to its inert and non-stick properties, Tedlar® is an excellent release film when processing parts under high temperature and pressure.
- With the ability to handle exposure to harsh environments, Tedlar® is an outstanding protective film for applications like architectural substrates and, high-voltage electrical power situations.
- Tedlar® offers long-lived gloss retention creating easy-to-clean surfaces.
- As a result of superior UV absorption, Tedlar® keeps the integrity, color, and brilliance of exterior surface graphics intact.
- By not allowing the growth of mold and mildew, Tedlar® can be widely used in hospital ductwork.
- Tedlar® is certified for incidental food contact by the FDA, making it an excellent protectant for wall surfaces in food service areas.
- Its chemical inertness and resistance to gas permeation makes Tedlar® a top choice for scientific pursuits that require gas sample bags.
- Among other properties, its lightweight and flexible characteristics make it great fit for the aerospace industry. Tedlar® PVF film is conformable and can be embossed and printed, making it a versatile material for use in passenger areas in airplanes.
