Tosaf’s Presents Matte Effect for polyolefin films
Matte Effect for polyolefin films( MT7636PE) is a newly developed matte additive from Tosaf to create thin (2 to 5 microns) skin layers on polyolefin films, combining superb haze (app. 80 %) with extremely low gloss (<10). Specific areas with matte effect can be made transparent by applying a lacquer coating or by gluing a clear label on top of the matte layer. Based on a special polymer mixture, MT7636PE provides outstanding advantages including:
- full control of haze/gloss properties on demand
- matte effect without additional converting process
- excellent rheology for easy processing
- low die build-up
- suitable for oriented PE and PP films
- no fillers
Using MT7636PE, converters can easily achieve a luxurious look thanks to a uniformly continuous light transmission with a perfectly consistent transparency level over the entire surface. Beyond, this new matte additive provides a perfect substrate to be printed with a clear lacquer, thus providing areas with complete transparency. Thanks to its high tension surface, MT7636PE supports good adhesion of such lacquers and other inks to the film.
