The flame retardant "HOSTAPHAN Protective Films" from Mitsubishi Polyester Film GmbH are biaxially oriented films made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET). They contain an efficient, halogen-free flame retardant (PET is not intrinsic fire resistant). While retaining the excellent product properties of our polyester films, such as high mechanical strength and dimensional stability at ambient temperatures., these films also meet the requirements of different fire classes.
This transparent film HOSTAPHAN ® RF made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has excellent flame retardancy. It also enables high adhesive bond strength to be achieved in coating, printing and laminating. Other features include high mechanical strength, good dimensional stability and a glossy surface.
This highly transparent HOSTAPHAN ® RUF film is suitable for a range of protective applications. It offers good weathering resistance and very good UV barrier properties. It also allows high adhesive bond strengths to be achieved in coating, printing and laminating.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
