ACLAR® Fluoropolymer-Film, 210x297mm (DIN A4), 51µm thick (2mil), 10 pieces

A50426-10

ACLAR® UltRx is a PCTFE homopolymer film. It offers an outstanding moisture barrier, excellent chemical resistance and minimal dimensional change (<2%). It is crystal clear, biochemically inert, plasticizer and stabilizer free. It is successfully used to grow cells, perform high-pressure-freezing (HPF) and for embedding.

Product Details

Description

ACLAR® is made from fluorinated-chlorinated resins. There are four basic film types–the homopolymer ACLAR® Rx Series, the new ACLAR® UltRx and the discontinued copolymers ACLAR® 22A and 33C (Honeywell). The chemical make-up of all ACLAR® products provide an exceptional moisture barrier. ACLAR® is crystal clear, biochemically inert, highly resistant to most chemicals and sterilizable by heat or radiation. ACLAR® is used widely in pharmaceutical, medical, sensitive electronics and military packaging.

ACLAR® UltRx is a PCTFE homopolymer film. It offers an outstanding moisture barrier, excellent chemical resistance and small dimensional change (<6%). It is crystal clear, biochemically inert, plasticizer and stabilizer free. It is successfully used to grow cells, perform high-pressure-freezing (HPF) and for embedding.

Features:

  • Crystal clear, high UV transparency– ideal for use in UV curing of embedding resin in microscopy.
  • Chemically stable and biochemical\y inert– the product of choice for growing cell cultures.
  • Low dielectric constant, high electric strength and dissipation factor– offers excellent cell attachment even through lengthy processing procedures.
  • Low surface energy–and separates easily from epoxy.
  • Exhibits no detectable autofluorescence– ideal for fluorescent microscopy.
  • A non-flammable, non-aging co-polymer–
    which is suited for sterilization by heat or UV.
  • Crystalline melting point is 211°C (403°F)– stable in the SEM.
  • Flexible and soft– can be sectioned without damage to the ultramicrotome knives.

ACLAR® film is now available in 2 mil (51µm) thickness and it is offered in DIN A4 (210x297mm) sheet form with package quantities of 10 or 25.
