Acetate (Cellulose Acetate)

Acetate (Cellulose Acetate) film is a polymer manufactured primarily from wood pulp and is commonly used for commercial print and art applications. PolymerFilms offers a complete line of Acetate film products from world-leading producers like Grafix. Acetate is a plastic substrate provided in a glossy or no masking finish with multiple color options in an array of gauges; it is plasticized to enhance flexibility and durability, has excellent chemical resistance, and is recyclable. Other features of Acetate include optical clarity, printability, heat sealable, and thermoformable. Acetate film is produced by two mechanical methods – solvent casting or forced extrusion.

Acetate film is easy to work with and durable. It is most commonly used in the Graphics / Print, and Packaging industries but works well in many other applications. Other common uses involve die-cutting, play cards, packaging, overlays, and more.
