American Polyfilm is proud to offer Antimicrobial grades of our polyurethane films. We manufacture this specialty product as an unsupported film on rolls. From this form the film can have adhesive and liner applied or it can be die cut to your specifications etcetera. We are also able to acheive different levels of antimicrobial for different applications, and because the antimicrobial properties gained with the use of additives, we are able to offer antimicrobial grades of several of our most popular films. Our antimicrobial polyurethane (tpu) film is also performs well in laminations and in other areas as well. Offering antimicrobial properties not found in ordinary polyether polyurethane (TPU) film, antimicrobial polyurethane is very useful in the medical field. We can deliver this film in thicknesses of 1 mil with widths up to 70 inches wide.
