World Leader in Black Coatings
Coated Black Foils & Films
Home Coated Black Foils & Films
Acktar Coatings are available not only by direct application to parts, but also as coated foil or film.
The coated foils enable the customer to benefit from Acktar coating performance without sending the parts to Acktar.
This is an ideal solution for very large quantities, oversized part areas and for contaminated environments where the light absorbing surface needs to be periodically renewed.
The products are available either with or without an adhesive backing as sheets, die-cuts or roll.
