Performance Films – Custom Solutions for Unique Technical Requirements

Solutia's Performance Films division uses our technological expertise in vacuum coating, color impregnation, and coating and laminating individually and collectively to produce enhanced polymer films which satisfy unique and technically demanding customer requirements.

The pioneer in deep dyeing for colored films, Solutia employs the latest technology to provide the most comprehensive array of dyed films available utilizing both water and solvent based processes. We can match nearly any film color requirement and our dyed films can be metallized for more reflective brilliance.

Solutia performs sputter coating, a vacuum coating process that is unlike conventional metallizing. Lower processing temperatures enable us to coat films with a wide range of metals and alloys in this process.

Aluminum metallizing, or thermal evaporation, deposits a uniform aluminum coating on the film surface by evaporating aluminum wire onto a heated crucible in a vacuum chamber.

We apply liquid solutions (.1 to 3 mils, 1 to 75 gsm) including scratch resistant coatings, optically clear pressure sensitive adhesives, silicone and other release agents, hard coats and other coatings onto various substrates. We also laminate two or more substrates together with or without separate adhesive layers. All are coated up to 74" wide (1.9m) in environmentally controlled clean rooms.

Utilizing one or a combination of process technologies (solution coating and laminating, vacuum coating, deep dyeing), Solutia has an extensive history of custom product development.

When you work with us, you have access to a wealth of products and services — under one roof. Pilot coating services are available for the development of new materials, along with custom film conversion services.
