PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SELECTED VERSAFLEX PF TACK LAYER FORMULATIONS
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Versaflex™ PF formulations are specially
developed for the manufacture of co-extruded
surface protective films that apply easily, maintain
tack with minimal build, peel smoothly and
remove completely with little-to-no residue or
ghosting.
BENEFITS OF VERSAFLEX PF FOR
SURFACE PROTECTIVE FILMS:
• Customizable tack
• Single-step manufacturing process (co-
extrusion)
• Low volatile organic compound (VOC)
emissions during manufacturing
• Eliminates secondary coating and drying
operations
• Eliminates hazardous liquid chemicals
compared to solvent systems
• Reduces converting costs versus coating
• Reduces energy consumption
MARKETS AND APPLICATIONS
Versaflex PF formulations, customizable
based on desired level of tack, are co-extruded
with protective films to provide just the right
amount of protection during the fabrication,
assembly, shipment, storage and installation of
finished goods in many industries and end-use
applications including:
• Optical films and display panels for consumer
electronics
• Home appliances
• Construction and building materials
• Furniture and cabinetry
• Automotive and other transportation

In addition, the plastic
waste problem remains a priority for our world and our industry, as
education eff orts on the sustainable and inherent benefits of polymers
run in parallel with collaborative work to eliminate plastic waste.
That’s why in January of 2019 we
were very proud to have joined the Alliance to
End Plastic Waste (AEPW) as a founding member.

This
growth means new challenges for materials and
technologies to ensure these state-of-the-art
charging stations meet critical standards and
performance specifications.
Materials need to meet regulations (such as
UL flammability compliance), be hygienic, and
provide flexibility in design for options such as
lightweighting or varied exterior finishes.
