How to Improve Your Products Using Films

If a product is going to be outside, it has to be able to withstand the sun. Extended exposure to the sun’s rays can cause your product to fade, or worse, break down, which is where industrial films can help. Still, standard industrial films can use a boost to protect your product, with color and additive masterbatch solutions from Americhem.

Our color and polymer additives for films can be made to meet different performance levels. That allows us to customize a product to meet your needs, whether it’s a film for photovoltaic (solar) cells or a cover that will go over an outdoor label.
