A thin, transparent and strong film that is ideal for precision applications in electronics, product design as well as art. With our online laser cutting service, you can have acetate film laser cut to your drawing for all your products and projects.

What is acetate film?

Acetate film, also known as cellulose acetate is a transparent material with a glossy finish, similar to PETG, but with some different properties. It is usually produced in thin sheets or rolls and you can laser cutting from different thicknesses from 0.1 (100 μ) to 0.5mm (500 μ).

Properties of acetate film:

• Transparency and glossy: Acetate film has high clarity and glossy, making it an attractive choice for applications where appearance is important, such as in art and design.
• Flexibility and durability: Despite its thin film thicknesses, acetate film is surprisingly flexible and durable, making it suitable for applications requiring ductility and resilience.
• Weather resistance: Acetate film is resistant to influences of moisture and other weather conditions, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
• Easy to machine: The material is easy to machine, for example, by cutting, trimming, bending and shaping.
• Precise thickness and thickness tolerance: Acetate film is available in a wide range of thicknesses, ranging from 0.1mm to 0.5mm and more. The thickness tolerance is generally quite small, making it possible to create precise layer thicknesses in product designs.

Applications of acetate film:

• Stencils and molds: Because acetate film is thin, transparent and strong, you can use it to make stencils very well. By laser cutting it, you can make complex shapes and small details.
• Electronics: Acetate film is used as insulators and shields of electronic components because of its insulating properties and lightweight nature.
• Industrial labels and stencils: Because of its ability to be easily printed and cut, acetate film is used for making labels, stencils and identifiers in industrial settings.
• Medical devices and instruments: In the medical sector, acetate film is used for the manufacturing of various devices and instruments because of its hygienic properties and compatibility with sterilization methods.
