Cast Film
(High Performance)
Vinyl films
are a combination of polyvinylchoride (PVC) resin, plasticizers
to soften the vinyl for flexibility, stabilizers to protect
against heat and UV deterioration, color pigments, and
modifiers to adjust performance characteristics. The grade
and quality of film produced depend upon these ingredients
and the manufacturing process.
Cast Film is
produced by pouring (casting) liquid vinyl onto Troy Laminating
& Coating's casting papers. The cast film takes on a mirror
image of the surface and gloss of our high gloss and matte
casting papers. The casting papers serve as a carrier of
the vinyl as it moves through heat curing ovens, the solvents
are removed to fuse the remaining solids into a film. Once
the film emerges from the ovens, it is ready for adhesive
coating.
