Toray unveils PET film for in-mold applications

Toray Plastics (America) has developed a proprietary, multi-layer polyester (PET) film suited for in-mold decorating applications. Lumirror FA6 PET film has a super smooth, ultra-consistent surface allowing for the application of decorative coatings during the converting process.

‘Topographical images of FA6 film prove it to be uniformly flat,’ said Milan Moscaritolo, director of sales, Toray Plastics (America). ‘The lack of “peaks and valleys” on the film surface means it is consistently very smooth. In addition, unlike other films, FA6 film has a rough side that differentiates it from other films, which may only offer a smooth side, making machining or processing difficult. Ultimately, end users can offer their customers an attractive finished product that makes a bold statement.’
