Autotex Touch – Tough and durable yet silky smooth!
Autotex Touch polyester film combines the best of both worlds – the durability & flexibility of the Autotex signature hardcoat and a high-quality ‘touch’ finish which delivers a smooth, flat, matt surface with excellent finger glide characteristics. The material is the perfect solution for printing and manufacturing human interface applications such as membrane switches, graphic overlays, touch-pads and fascias.
Designed by MacDermid Autotype, the Autotex family was specifically created for technically demanding applications and its textured hardcoat is manufactured in a highly specialised process. Due to the way the film is manufactured, the finish is always consistent – from roll to roll, batch to batch, year to year.
