Request quote

• Lowest modulus TPU film
• Lowest processing temperature available
• Aerospace, transportation, architectural & electronic applications
• Severe asymmetrical, large, difficult glass-clad polycarbonate & temperature sensitive laminates
• Excellent low temperature impact

Providing a benchmark for genuine low modulus performance, KRYSTALFLEX® PE499 TPU films can be processed at low temperatures and are well suited to fast, non-autoclave laminating operations. Useful for difficult, asymmetrical glass and plastic laminates, this film provides the tensile strength, impact resistance and stability needed for glazing to perform in extremely cold conditions.
