Spectratek Technologies, Inc.

In 1980, when Spectratek began it's 'journey in holography, we were acutely aware that the success of our products would come about as a direct result of our ability to understand the application needs of our customers. To this end, Spectratek has engineered its' stock film lines to the highest performance standards.

The combination of our expertise in manipulating micro-geometric surfaces and our commitment to the performance requirements of our customers makes our films the brightest, most durable, easily converted or applied, performance films anywhere. All of Spectratek's stock polyester ( PET ) films are solvent and heat resistant ( 400*F ) and share the same performance standards regardless of thickness or pattern. We also offer EVOH, BIAX Nylon, and PVC films to meet the needs of some of our customers more specialized product applications. If the materials you need are not listed here, please contact or E-mail us as we have built our business on finding solutions to almost any application architecture.

Spectratek's stock film products are available in an array of widths to fit the standards of many industrial applications. One of our challenges has been the development of ever increasing roll widths to meet the requirements of our industrial clients. To date Spectratek's bare metal Spectrasteel stock film widths are 28" and 40". In September 2001 our first of six 55" embossing machines will become operational, helping us to better meet your needs. For our customers who require specific roll widths other than those listed we offer in house roll conversion.

Spectratek's master roll lengths are listed here by film gauge.

1 mil	0.00092"	30,000 linear feet
1.5 mil	0.00142"	22,000 linear feet
2 mil	0.00200"	15,000 linear feet
3 mil to 7 mil	0.003" up to 0.007"	Please contact for info

Spectratek uses only the highest grades of raw film materials. Twenty years of working with our suppliers has helped us refine our premium raw film stock specifically for use in our proprietary micro-replication processes. Whether your using PET, EVOH, BIAX Nylon, or PVC you can be assured that no corners have been cut in the purchase of our film base.

Our films are more transparent and in applications where the metalized surface is "down" our optical effects do not appear murky or lose sharpness of color. This factor of optically treated films is especially important in film lamination applications involving 2 mil film or greater.

One of the fastest growing segments of the optical effects film markets is packaging. Because all but one of Spectratek's patterns have no shim lines, pattern breaks, or seams our films can be printed without the need for registration resulting in higher yields of usable material. All of our stock films are print treated to enhance adhesion for water based inks, solvent based inks, UV curing inks, heat transfer inks, silk screening, flexographic, lithographic, gravuere, and thermal transfer systems.
