Optically Clear PETG Film
PETG or (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) is a cost-effective transparent thermoplastic film that has great thermoforming ability, moderate impact resistance, and exceptional clarity. PETG is often compared to polycarbonate, although it does not have the rigidity or impact strength of polycarbonate. PETG is designed to be easily conformable which makes it ideal for applications that require ultimate clarity and transparency versus other performance properties. This material is easy to fabricate and machine which makes it a cost-effective plastic that can be used in a variety of engineering applications or sign applications used in visual merchandising.

Optically Clear Polyester Film Rolls
Optically clear polyester film is a general-purpose high clarity transparent polyester film. Clear polyester film is non yellowing and holds consistent color. Main features of clear polyester include chemical resistance, electrical resistance, tear resistance, dimensional stability, and heat resistance of up too 200°F. Typical applications include packaging, printing, die-cutting, electronics, protective overlay, barrier protection, apparel, and other industrial applications.
Optically clear polyester can be supplied with adhesive backing. Available in sheets, slit to width rolls, or custom die cut parts.
Nominal thicknesses available: .001” (1 mil.) to .010” (10 mil.) Standard length 36” wide. (Can be slit to width).

Polycarbonate Film- Clear & Velvet Matte
CS Hyde Company supplies three types of high performance polycarbonate film; Clear Polycarbonate-type GG (gloss/gloss surface), Clear Hard Coated Polycarbonate- Type HC, and Translucent Hazy Polycarbonate- type VM (Velvet/Matte surface). Polycarbonate films have exceptional impact strength, weatherability and thermoformability. Our clear polycarbonate film is idea for optical clarity applications that also require high impact strength properties. Velvet/Matte polycarbonate is also available that is translucent in color and can be used for privacy applications while maintaining high impact strength. Common plastics associated with polycarbonate include Acrylic, Mylar®, Polyester, and PETG. In comparison, Polycarbonate has a higher impact strength than most acrylic and PETG, and better dimensional stability than Mylar® or Polyester (PET). Polycarbonate film is a great all-around high-performance material for various applications. Polycarbonate rolls or sheets available in .005”, .010", .015", and .020" thicknesses. Longer lengths, special widths.
If your application requires clear clarity and abrasion, scratch, and chemical resistance view: Polycarbonate (Hard-Coated)
Polycarbonate Adhesive Tape rolls and sheets are also available. Our in house lamination capabilities enable us to produce 3M™ pressure sensitive adhesive backed polycarbonate sheets and rolls. An ideal option for eliminating mechanical fastening.Applications: Nameplates, Label Instrument, cluster panels, Graphic Overlays, Membrane Switches & Control Panels

FEP & PFA Optically Clear Film made with Teflon™ fluoropolymers
DuPont® Teflon™ FEP (Type A) & PFA (Type LP) are optically clear Teflon™ films that benefit from the ability to be thermoformed, heat-sealed, plastic-welded or bonded. PFA film is very similar to FEP Film, except it has a higher melting point of (302C to 310C vs. FEP’s melt range of 260C to 280C). PFA Film is recommended over FEP Film for applications that require superior creep resistance at high temperatures, low-temperature toughness, and a higher flame resistance. Teflon™ PTFE fluoropolymers are the most inert of all plastics and complie with USFDA regulations for food contact applications. FEP and PFA films possess superior anti-stick, low friction properties, strength and puncture resistance, chemical & solvent resistance, as well as high dielectric strength (over 7000 volts per mil for 1 mil). No electrical tracking, non-wettable (hydrophobic), non-flammable, non-charring and long term weatherabilliy. CS Hyde FEP & PFA films offer superior reliability & retention of properties over large areas. FEP film meets the requirements of ASTM D-3368.
FEP & PFA Applications:
- Chemical resistant liners (tanks & diaphragms)
- Optics lenses
- Release liners (DLP & SLA 3D Printer VAT Systems)
- Solar Receptors
FEP Film & PFA Film is available in rolls, sheets, or custom width rolls. CS Hyde also has in house capabilities to laminate adhesive to FEP & PFA Film.

Tefzel® (ETFE) Optically Clear Film (General Purpose Grade)
Tefzel® Optically Clear Film is an extremely durable, thin polymeric film closely related to PTFE fluorocarbon resin. Of all the PTFE fluoropolymer family, Tefzel® (ETFE) is the most tough/ durable. Flexible and nearly 100 percent transparent, Tefzel® Optically Clear Film has excellent mechanical strength and reliability against cracking and abrasion. In outdoor applications, Tefzel® shows very little degradation over a long period of time despite constant UV radiation exposure, making it a suitable long term substitute for glass. Tefzel® Optically Clear Film features easy processibility and high-energy radiation resistance.
Film types are:Type LZ--General-purpose film, Type CLZ--Treated one-side for improved cementability, and Type CLZ-20--Treated both sides for improved cementability. Tefzel® films can be thermoformed, laminated, heat-sealed, die-stamped, and oriented for use in many applications including high flex lightweight wiring insulation, composite part mold release, anti-corrosive valve linings, non-stick roll covers, rupture disks, high frequency microwave circuitry, pharmaceutical cap liners, sterile packaging, cable insulation, microphone electret membranes, photovoltaic cell glazing, anti-graffiti coverings, erasable surface coverings, automotive airbag systems, fuel hose permeation barrier, hot melt adhesive and thousands more possible applications. -
Mylar® Polyester (PET Film)
CS Hyde Company stocks and converts different types of Polyester film, DuPont® Mylar® Type A- Off White (standard industry grade/electronics grade- Type EL), Optically Clear, and Metallic- Metalized Polyester film.
Polyester PET film is available in custom width rolls, sheets, or die cut parts. *Mylar Tape now available with 3M® adhesive backing.
What is Mylar®?
Mylar® is a DuPont® developed and manufactured oriented, multi-use, versatile polyester (PET) film. Throughout our catalog, a few characteristics unitize this polyester product line; Mylar® films do not become brittle with age under normal conditions because there are no plasticizers. Polyester films have great archival quality, dimensionally stability, chemical resistance, moisture resistance, non-tearing properties, electrically insulating properties, balanced tensile properties and a temperature range of - 100 to 300F. Unique properties of optically clear polyester include color consistency, great clarity, and non-yellowing properties.
The brand name Mylar® is the registered trademark owned by the E.I. DuPont Corporation for bi-axially oriented polyester film (BOPET). The term or trade name Mylar® is used to identify polyester or PET that is manufactured using DuPont Teijin Films resin. CS Hyde supplies DuPont® Mylar® Type A film. The generic trade name for Mylar® is PET, or polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
Types of Polyester (PET) Film:
48-F Series - Mylar® Type A is our standard grade PET film. It is a tough, general purpose film that’s transparent in (.5 mil) through 92 gauge (1 mil), and translucent/hazy in (2 mil) through (14 mil). Mylar® Polyester PET is ideally suited for a wide range of uses such as packaging, printing, electronics, protective overlay, barrier protection, apparel and many industrial applications. Because of Mylar® Polyester's inherent physical properties, it's a great choice if you are looking for a high performance polyester plastic film/sheet. Custom sized sheeting or roll stock available. Mylar® tape- with 3M™ Adhesive is also available.
Mylar® Type A FDA Approval:
