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.

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

PEEK™ film has extremely high temperature resistance combined with excellent mechanical, electrical, and chemical resistance making it a high performance semi-crystalline thermoplastic suitable for use in a wide variety of demanding applications.
Mechanically, this film is capable of a high tensile strength of 18.9 kpsi (130 MPa), a flexural strength of 23.6kpsi (163 MPa) and a Rockwell hardness of 99 (R Scale).

PEEK™ film is capable of maintaining its properties up to very high temperatures (continuous use of -70 to 500F), is UL RTI rated up to 464F, and has a melting point of 644F. PEEK™ also boasts a heat deflection temperature (1.8MPa) of 306F. 0.012-0.280mm thickness carries an HB flammability rating, while 0.50-0.75mm has a V-1 rating.

PEEK™ meets many aerospace, automotive, fire, smoke and toxicity, food/water, medical/pharmaceutical, and military approvals and standards. Custom sized sheeting available. PEEK™ is available with adhesive as well, exclusively from CS Hyde Company as PEEK Tape.

PEEK™ Film complies with the compositional requirements of the Code of Federal regulations FDA 21 CFR 177.2415 of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States of America.

Ultem®/PEI (polyetherimide) film offers high heat resistance, coupled with high mechanical strength, stiffness, UV stability, and broad chemical resistance. This combination of properties proves the ability of this film to be used for a wide variety of demanding new design concepts. Similar to PEEK, Ultem® can be considered a more cost effective solution if continuous temperatures below 338F are acceptable per the application. It has a UL94 flame resistance rating of VTM-0, is FDA compliant, and is thermoformable. Custom sized sheeting available.

DuPont™ Kapton® Type HN Film:
