MED 6373U

Couble-Coated Film

MED 6373U is a double-coated, thin, transparent sustainable polyester film containing 70% post consumer recycled content with a different adhesive on either side. On the liner side, a solventless acrylic adhesive provides a good initial tack and high adhesion to common natural and synthetic fabrics. On the unwind side, a synthetic rubber adhesive provides high initial tack and is suitable for use with various natural and synthetic substrates.


Typical Application

Designed for self-adhesive edges for surgical drapes while adhering to both the skin and natural and synthetic fabrics, as well as mounting of medical devices to the skin where moist conditions may exist.
