Specialty Coated PET Films USA | PET Films with Custom Performance Layers

In packaging, graphics, and industrial applications, sometimes standard polyester films aren’t enough. Converters and brand owners in the USA often require films with specialty coatings and treatments that improve adhesion, barrier performance, or machine compatibility. PET films with engineered surface properties provide a competitive advantage by reducing defects, improving efficiency, and unlocking new applications.

At Pilcher Hamilton Corporation (PHC), we supply and convert PET films designed with specialty coatings and treatments. Our portfolio includes copolymer-coated PET, chemical-treated PET, and fully customizable coating services. Supported by expert corona treating services and PHC’s complete product catalog, we help USA converters engineer films that meet unique performance demands.


Copolymer-Coated PET for Enhanced Adhesion

For laminations and specialty packaging, strong bonding is essential. PHC supplies copolymer-coated PET designed to improve adhesion to inks, adhesives, and sealant layers.

Applications include:

  • Food and beverage laminations.
  • Industrial composites.
  • Specialty films requiring enhanced bond strength.

USA converters use copolymer-coated PET to reduce delamination risks and ensure reliable, high-speed production.


Chemical-Treated PET for Durability

In challenging environments, PET films must withstand aggressive adhesives, coatings, or processing. PHC’s chemical-treated PET is engineered to provide durable adhesion properties and enhanced surface energy.

Applications include:

  • Industrial labels and outdoor graphics.
  • Specialty packaging requiring chemical resistance.
  • Technical applications needing strong, lasting bonds.

For USA manufacturers, chemical-treated PET offers long-term stability and dependable converting performance.


Custom Coating Services

Not every application can be solved with a standard product. PHC offers custom coating services that apply functional chemistries directly onto PET films, creating films designed for specific performance requirements.

Custom coatings can provide:

  • Oxygen and moisture barrier layers.
  • Anti-fog or anti-static properties.
  • Adhesion promoters or release coatings.

By tailoring coatings to exact customer needs, PHC helps USA converters innovate packaging and industrial solutions.


Corona Treating Services

Surface energy is critical to print and coating success. PHC provides corona treating services to enhance the surface energy of PET films, ensuring inks, adhesives, and coatings adhere effectively.

This service allows USA converters to adapt films for new applications without investing in additional in-house treatment equipment.
