Polyester Versatility
Polyester is a highly durable synthetic material, primarly used inddoor, known for its excellent resistance to wear, heat, abrasion, fading, and chemicals, making it ideal for various applications such as badges, emblems, nameplates, labels, overlays and tags. This material provides significant value by reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance, saving you time and costs in the long run. Unlike other materials, polyester effectively addresses issues like shrinking and stretching, ensuring your products maintain their appearance and integrity even under challenging conditions.
Polyester Specifications
Finishes
Gloss finish provides a shiny, reflective surface - Matte finish provides a non-reflective surface that reduces glare and fingerprints - Soft - Anti-glare - Textured - More options are available.
Thickness
Polyester material thickness range from 0.005" to 0.010". This range allows for flexibility in different applications, ensuring durability and suitability. Fully custom thickness is available.
Graphic Application
Screen printing (spot color) - digital printing - offset printing. Polyester can be customized with a wide range of colors, including transparent, opaque, and metallic options. This versatility allows for precise color matching to meet specific branding requirements and create visually appealing products.
Embossing
Polyester can be effectively embossed for custom badges, nameplates, labels, panels, and graphic overlays. Common types of embossing include pillow embossing, rail or rim embossing, and dome embossing. The thickness of embossed polyester materials will vary.
Polyester Performance
Polyester offers outstanding performance in durability, chemical resistance, and color retention, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications including badges, nameplates, labels, and overlays.
-
Chemical Resistance
Polyester is known for its excellent chemical resistance, surpassing polycarbonate in harsh environments. This makes polyester ideal for applications involving exposure to solvents, acids, and other chemicals, ensuring your products remain intact and functional over time.
-
Heat Resistance
Polyester exhibits superior heat resistance compared to polycarbonate, withstanding higher temperatures without deformation or loss of structural integrity, making it ideal for applications requiring thermal stability.
-
Moisture Resistance
Polyester is less susceptible to moisture absorption, which helps maintain its mechanical properties and dimensions over time, unlike polycarbonate that may swell or degrade with moisture exposure
Polyester Applications
Polyester is ideal for applications such as badges, nameplates, overlays, labels and more, offering exceptional durability, chemical resistance, and heat stability, ensuring long-lasting and high-performance solutions.
