Inorganic antimicrobials incorporate substances
containing silver in ionic form, bound to inorganic
compounds that regulate the diffusion of ions
within the polymer mass.

Compared to current solvent-
based coating technology, co-extrusion film using
Versaflex CF has significantly reduced volatile
organic compound (VOC) emissions and helps
reduce energy consumption by eliminating
secondary coating and drying operations.

In addition to simplifying processing,
Versaflex PF formulations reduce volatile
organic compound (VOC) emissions during
manufacturing.
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
