Melinex® & Mylar® Polyester (BOPET) Films

Tekra has been selling polyester plastic film in sheets and rolls to diverse markets since the 1970s, and our experience shows. Advancements in the printing industry led to Tekra seeking strategic alliance partners to support those changes as well as meet the technical and commercial needs of our customers. Today, we continue our proud association with globally recognized Melinex® and Mylar® polyester brands as an authorized distributor of Mylar® Specialty Films (formerly DuPont Teijin Films™). 

PET plastic film material is known as biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate or BOPET because of the way the film is produced, which also gives it superior properties to other plastic films. Tekra sources Melinex® and Mylar® polyester films in large roll form from Mylar® Specialty Films (formerly DuPont Teijin Films™) which can be converted into custom sized slit rolls or sheets according to customer specifications. Tekra offers hardcoating to help PET film materials resist scratches and abrasions while offering enhanced chemical resistance
