Properties & Applications of Diamond Coatings’ ITO Coated PET Film Rolls

Boasting an excellent balance of properties that makes them in many ways superior to other coated thermoplastic polymers, Diamond Coatings’ ITO coated PET film rolls provide the ideal substrate for a wide range of converting industry applications.

Basic PET Film Properties

Typically either bubble extruded or biaxially oriented, PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film – or polyester film – is a thermoplastic polymer that is in many ways not only comparable but superior to varying other thermoplastic polymers with regards to:

• Dielectric Constant, Insulation Breakdown & Melting Point
• Dimensional Stability, Elongation & Service Temperature Range
• Specific Gravity, Tear Strength & Tensile Strength
• Oxygen Permeability & Water/Vapour Transmission Rate

PET films’ mechanical properties make them the perfect substrate choice for processing (i.e. metallizing, vacuum coating, laminating, etc.).

Combined with their processing tolerance and the ability to engineer them to meet the demands of a wide range of applications, this makes PET films the perfect substrate for a diversity of applications including, for example:

• Antimicrobial & Insulation Films
• Surface Protection, Hard-coats Films & Protective Films
• Labelling & Label Face-Stocks
• Packaging & Printable Films
• Security/Tamper Evident Films and
• Photovoltaic Back-Sheets

ITO Coated PET Films

Applying indium tin oxide (ITO) coatings to transparent PET films maintains their transparency while rendering them conductive – which subsequently makes them suitable components for touch screen, position sensor and diverse other applications like, for instance:

• Transparent Heaters
• Smart Windows
• Resistive Touch Screens
• Membrane Switches
• Medical Sensors
• Liquid Crystal Displays
• Flexible Printed Circuits
• EMI/RFI Shielding
• Electrophoretic Displays
• Electroluminescent (EL) Lamps and More

Diamond Coatings ITO Coated PET Film Rolls
