ProTek®

ProTek® is Tekra's line of premium protective hardcoat films designed for those requiring higher optical quality or processing performance. Within the ProTek® polyester offering is a Fine Texture, Velvet Texture, and Clear Weatherable option. All of these options are abrasion and chemical resistant and are able to accept multiple passes of solvent or UV inks.

ProTek® Weatherable is Tekra's exclusive UV resistant hardcoat for outdoor applications.

Additional benefits include:

  • Increased pencil hardness of up to 2H
  • Outstanding embossabilityHeat or cold embossing, solid rails without micro-cracking 
  • Excellent diecutability: Clean cuts with no edge shattering

Terrapin®

Tekra's Terrapin® on polyester is designed to be optically clear, highly resistant to scratching, and provide excellent protection from chemical solvents and cleaners. Primarily for opto-electronic use, these hardcoated films are excellent as the top layer of a flat panel or LCD display, due to the high priority for scratch and chemical resistance during product design.

Two products are available in the Terrapin® family. Both offer high pencil hardness in addition to maximum optical clarity and chemical resistance. Terrapin® S is slightly more flexible and designed to be thermoformable, a useful feature in some touchscreen and lens applications. Like Terrapin® S, Terrapin® G is also flexible, while providing the highest rating for pencil hardness and chemical resistance.
