FEATURES INSIDE THE FILM FOR
LAMINATION AGAINST PAPER &
SYNTHETIC MATERIALS

PETix™ RL is a transparent film made of biaxially oriented Polyethylene

Terephtalate (PET) and Polyethylene (PE), characterized by its excellent
robustness. It is designed as external card layer for the upgrade and manufacturing
of high performance cards. The material is specifically developed to offer excellent
lamination quality.

PETix™ RL can be combined with paper and synthetic films (after technical
approval by AGFA). This film is developed for roll lamination but can be used in
some cases in plate lamination. The inside of the PET film can be printed and
hereafter Agfa will add the adhesion film to create your personalised security film.

Since PETix films are made of biaxially oriented PET, care should be given to the correct assembly
of the sheets, in order to obtain flat cards after lamination. Please respect the following precautions.
Agfa does not guarantee flat cards in case these precautions are not respected.
