Custom Coating of Plastic Films

Your Source for OEM Plastic Film Coatings

Tekra works hand-in-hand with customers to develop unique, high-end coating solutions that meet OEM needs. As a core competency of our organization, we can design, produce and deliver unique items that help our customers capture market share. We have designed custom coatings for overlaminates, dry erase and thermal transfer digital printable applications, as well as numerous exclusive coatings for diverse OEMs.

Custom Tailoring Plastic Film Coatings

With a fully staffed R&D department of chemists and engineers, Tekra offers an unprecedented level of customization. Tailoring chemistries is not a service offered by most coaters, but at Tekra we continually leverage our research arm to meet unique challenges. Whether refining an existing coating to more specifically meet your needs, or developing specialty coating for your needs, if it is within the realm of possibility, we will work with you to design it.

White Room and Class 10,000 Clean Room Conditions

For maximum process integrity, our coaters are enclosed in white room and Class 10,000 clean room conditions. Tekra can coat many different substrates, from PVC rigid films, polycarbonate films and polyester films, and extending to PEN polyester films, Mylar polyester films, high impact styrene and specialty plastic films.

Coatable film thicknesses range from less than 1 mil (25 microns) through over 35 mils (875 microns). We can coat UV-cured or thermally cured coatings using solvent or water based technologies. We also offer in-line masking and corona treatment of plastic film to enhance one-step coating processes.
