Turning plastic into steel

MacDermid Autotype has developed an innovative film technology that combines the benefits of hardcoated PET films with the cosmetic advantages of brushed stainless steel, effectively turning plastic into steel.

Called Autotex Steel, this new material has an ink receptive layer on the reverse surface and a specially developed hardcoated outer layer, which is chemically bonded and UV cured. The hardcoat layer has a textured finish that creates the appearance of a brushed stainless steel panel. T: +44 (0) 1296 660080 E: info.macdermidautotype@4cm.co.uk
