Key Takeaways
- Acrylic primers lock in dyne levels, maintaining adhesion over time.
- Films are compatible with flexo, gravure, and digital printing systems.
- Lamination bond strength improves with acrylic-coated PET versus untreated.
- Available in packaging gauges (36–92 ga) and industrial grades.
What Acrylic Primers Do
- Surface energy: Acrylic primers boost dyne levels and stabilize them against decay.
- Ink holdout: Prevents feathering, ensuring crisp text and graphics.
- Bond durability: Improves adhesive anchorage in laminations, reducing delamination risk.
See Acrylic-Coated for technical details.
Ink & Adhesive System Compatibility
- Printing: Supports solvent-based, water-based, and UV-cured inks.
- Adhesives: Performs with polyurethane, epoxy, and hot-melt laminating systems.
- Flexibility: Balanced adhesion with clarity—ideal for over-laminations.
Surface Energy Targets
- Acrylic coatings typically stabilize at 48–52 dynes.
- Compare with Corona-Treated PET, which may decay faster.
- Retained dyne ensures long-term inventory stability for pretreated rolls.
QC Tips
- Verify dyne with standard test solutions before printing/laminating.
- Check bond strength post-lamination (ASTM D903 peel tests).
- Monitor COF for line stability; coatings may shift COF slightly.

Buyer’s Checklist
- Required dyne level for inks/adhesives.
- Target gauge (36–92 ga packaging; thicker for industrial/graphic).
- Printing process (flexo, gravure, offset, digital).
- Lamination adhesive system.
- Clarity requirements (ultra-clear vs functional opaque grades).
- QA: confirm with Technical Datasheets.
FAQs
Q1. Why choose acrylic-coated PET over corona-treated PET?
Acrylic primers provide longer-lasting surface energy retention, improving storage stability.
Q2. Does acrylic coating affect clarity?
No—films remain transparent while improving adhesion.
