Lexan* 8B35 Film Product Datasheet

Description
Lexan 8B35 is a one side velvet, one side matte transparent polycarbonate film. It offers high temperature resistance, excellent dimensional
stability, as well as good printability without pre- treatment making it very suitable for multi-layer printing for applications such as overlays,
floor graphics, high-performance labels and in-mould decoration. It can be screen printed using traditional solvent based or water based
inks, as well as UV or infrared drying inks and offers ease of processing for thermoforming, embossing, die-cutting, hydro-forming and
bending. The velvet texture offers mar resistance, and can be used over light-emitting devices (LEDs).
