GE Introduces New White Ultem* Film Which Eliminates Opaque Topcoat for Bar Code Labels

GE – Plastics, working in conjunction with their global customers who requested an opaque, high-performance plastic film that would eliminate the need for surface treatments to achieve satisfactory print contrast in bar code labels, has developed a new white grade of its Ultem* polyetherimide (PEI) film. White Ultem WH217 film is pigmented for high opacity to ensure bar code labels can be read correctly – the film provides a print contrast ratio of 98 percent out of 100. In addition to helping saving label manufacturers the expense and time required to apply an opaque topcoat, Ultem WH217 film provides flame retardance that is lacking in competitive PEN films, and offers higher temperature resistance and better dimensional stability than polyvinyl fluoride films. GE’s Ultem WH217 film meets UL 94 VTMO flame requirements without the use of halogenated additives, enabling the material to comply with European RoHS standards, making it an excellent candidate for electronic applications such as printed circuit boards. BERGEN OP ZOOM, THE NETHERLANDS — May 24, 2006 — Responding to customer requests for an opaque, high-performance plastic film that would eliminate the need for surface treatments to achieve satisfactory print contrast in bar code labels, GE – Plastics, working in conjunction with their global customers, has developed a new white grade of its Ultem* polyetherimide (PEI) film. White Ultem WH217 film is pigmented for high opacity to ensure bar code labels can be read correctly – the film provides a print contrast ratio of 98 percent out of 100. In addition to helping saving label manufacturers the expense and time required to apply an opaque topcoat, Ultem WH217 film provides flame retardance that is lacking in competitive PEN films, and offers higher temperature resistance and better dimensional stability than polyvinyl fluoride films. In developing this product, GE - Plastics worked closely with leading global manufacturers of pressure-sensitive films and adhesives to provide feedback on the development of the product.
