Product Description
CAPRAN® 1200 Matte is a nominal 0.55 mil (14 micron) biaxially oriented nylon 6 film with a matte appearance on one side. The matte surface imparts excellent contact clarity while maintaining superior scuff resistance. The combination of properties makes this film well suited for use in thermal lamination films designed for book cover applications.
