Benefits and Uses of Heavy Duty Films
Employing plastic substrates effectively reduces manufacturing costs and increases product flexibility – while maintaining excellent performance even under harsh conditions. The possibilities are relatively endless. It's why Tekra industrial films and adhesives are used in some unanticipated end products, such as:
- Roof Shingles
- Fiberglass Reinforced Panels
- Envelopes
- Hot Stamping and Foils
- Window Blinds
- Drumheads
For applications requiring insulators possessing low conductivity and high resistivity, Tekra has the answer. Due to their inherent properties, our Mylar® polyester (PET) and LEXAN™ and VALOX™ films act as excellent insulators. It’s just one more reason why plastic heavy duty films from Tekra are used in a wide variety of manufacturing applications from heat shields in laptops, cell phones and other microelectronics to the following uses:
- Filters
- Carriers
- Liners
- Casting Blankets
- Insulating motors
- Protective Coverings

A Case in Point
3M™ VHB™ Tapes are an effective alternative to screws, rivets, welds and other mechanical fasteners in permanent bonding applications. 3M VHB tapes are versatile. From spreading stress across the entire length of a joint to compensating for differential thermal expansion, 3M VHB tapes provide superior adhesion and performance, even between dissimilar materials. They can bond and seal aluminum, steel, glass, painted and powder-coated surfaces, and plastics such as acrylic and polycarbonate
