Clairfoil
{Other Applications}
Replicating Film
In tape and sheet format, used primarily for TEM (transition electron-microscopy) methods on metals, ceramics, and other surfaces that would remain inert in an acetone environment. (Acetone is used to soften and/or dissolve the tape prior to use) Use thick tape [0.005" (125 µm)] for rough surfaces and for removing larger loose debris particles clinging to the surface. Use thin tape [0.001" (25 µm)] for fine, irregular surfaces.
Window Envelopes
Clarifoil Satiné in 28μm can be used for home-compostable windows in envelopes. Since it’s a wood pulp-based product, Clarifoil biodegrades in landfill and compost and can also be recycled together with paper and board or burned without noxious emissions. Clarifoil gives a high performance window combining quality with excellent sustainability credentials.
Shoe Lace Tagging
Clear 180µ and 250µ in narrow width reels. The acetate provides the tip to the lace, protecting it from fraying. Cellulose acetate can be rapidly bonded to itself in the automatic wrapping machine.
Finger Printing Sheets
At a scene of crime, finger prints are dusted with powder and lifted by means of tape. The tape can be stored on clear acetate sheets for subsequent examination/reference.
Graphic/Shading Films and Tapes
30µ matt/pol film is printable in a range of effects. Contact us to find out more.
Lamination of book covers
As many publishers look into making their books more environmentally friendly, Clarifoil is the compostable alternative to nylon.
Flower wrappings
Most supermarkets offer their customers flower bouquets in wrapping film, which is not bio-degradable. Here also, Clarifoil can be used as an alternative.
Insulation between printed circuit boards
With a high dielectric constant, cellulose diacetate is a perfect solution.
