Material Engineering & Design Features

Tedlar® TGY20BE3 is manufactured using DuPont's polyvinyl fluoride technology to provide a balance of durability, flexibility, and long-term appearance retention. The film combines high tensile strength with excellent elongation characteristics, allowing it to withstand fabrication and forming operations while maintaining structural integrity.

Key physical performance characteristics include:

• High tensile strength for enhanced durability
• Low gloss finish for reduced surface reflectivity
• Excellent dimensional stability under thermal exposure
• Controlled optical density for consistent appearance
• Good flexibility and elongation for fabrication processes

The film is commonly incorporated into multilayer decorative and protective laminate constructions where long-term appearance and surface durability are required.
