Acetate (Cellulose Diacetate)

In Brief

Combining unbeatable clarity with exceptional environmental credentials, Acetate is an excellent general purpose film that ticks all the right boxes.

In Depth

Made from 100% GM free, responsibly-sourced and sustainable wood pulp, Acetate is fully home-compostable. What’s more, due to its cellulosic nature, it is readily recyclable in its own right and can be recycled along with paper in a re-pulping process. Alternatively, a high calorific value of around 20MJ/kg makes Acetate an ideal film for energy recovery by incineration.

Typical applications

With its high gloss and remarkable clarity, Acetate is suitable for many uses including:

• Window cartons
• Visual Aids
• Stationary
• Shoe tagging
• Animation
• 3D glasses (Coloured)

Available from 35mu to 250mu

Acetate is also available with a UV inhibitor, giving greatly increased UV absorption over standard grades.
