Protective film co-extruded with Versaflex CF6668 TPE answers this market need. Co-extrusion protective film can also help producers achieve their sustainability goals,” said Matt Mitchell, Director, Global Marketing, Specialty Engineered Materials at Avient. Compared to current solvent-based coating technology, co-extrusion film has significantly reduced volatile organic compound emissions (VOCs) and helps reduce energy consumption and emissions by eliminating secondary coating and drying operations.
