Tekra Corporation Announces the Launch of Marnot AG - a New Anti-Glare Hardcoated Polyester Film

New Berlin, WI, April 24, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Tekra Corporation announces the launch of Marnot® AG, an new anti-glare hardcoated polyester with superior optical properties. Marnot AG provides Tekra’s standard scratch, abrasion, and chemical resistance, as well as the flexibility and process friendly characteristics printer’s demand. Tekra’s hardcoats have traditionally enjoyed an advantage in post production processing operations, with reduced scrap during diecutting and embossing.

In addition, the new film provides enhanced pencil hardness and clarity for an anti-glare polyester film. It is printable on the hardcoat side itself, with UV inks, on the first or second pass. Available on highly popular 7mil (175 micron) UV ink friendly polyester, Marnot AG is an excellent choice when balancing competing demands of clarity and anti-glare needs. “Not only are we very enthusiastic about this new addition to our product line, we expect that our customers will experience better results when using this material in optical applications,” said Carl Sommerstad, Director of Technical and Export Sales.
