SKC Skyrol SH92 PET Film is an optically very clear, glossy polyester film pretreated on both sides for anti-static performance and for better ink and coating adhesion
A clear film that also holds ink and sheds static is a short list of demands that rarely come together. SKC Skyrol SH92 PET Film is described by SKC as optically very clear, glossy, and pretreated for anti-static behavior on both sides, and as specially designed to improve ink and coating adhesion.
What the Product Information Says
According to SKC, SH92 combines four traits: very clear optics, a glossy surface, an anti-static pretreatment on both sides, and design for good ink and coating adhesion. The product information lists several nominal gauges, with SKC marking a gauge number beside each thickness. The text available for this article did not keep the thickness table in order, so the exact thickness options should be confirmed with the official sheet or your supplier.
The Numbers the Sheet Gives
- Haze: about 1.2 percent (ASTM D1003), which is low
- Coefficient of friction: about 0.25 static and 0.45 dynamic (ASTM D1894), the same across the grades
- Surface resistivity: on the order of 10 to the power of ten ohm per square (NFPA 56A method)
- Heat shrinkage at 150°C for 30 minutes in MD: about 0.6 percent
- Tensile strength: about 21 to 24 kg/mm2, which is roughly 205 to 235 MPa using SKC’s own conversion of 1 kg/mm2 = 9.8 N/mm2 (ASTM D882)
- Elongation at break: about 115 to 180 percent depending on direction and grade (ASTM D882)
What “Anti-Static on Both Sides” Means
Surface resistivity shows how easily static charge can spread across a surface, and a lower number means charge dissipates more easily. A value around 10 to the tenth ohm per square is low for polyester, which on its own usually reads 10 to the fifteenth or higher (a general interpretation). Because it is on both sides, dust pickup and clinging during winding, cutting, and stacking are less likely, and both faces can be coated or printed (a general explanation, not from this sheet). The sheet does not say how long the treatment lasts or how humidity affects it, so run your own test.
Why Low Haze and Gloss Matter
Haze measures how much light is scattered, and about 1.2 percent means a clear film. Combined with a glossy surface, this suits uses where the film is seen through or looked at directly. The sheet does not name applications, so confirm the intended use with your supplier.
How It Differs from Neighboring Grades
- Toray Lumirror U94 PET Film is the closest relative: a super clear film at 75 to 125 um with light transmission of about 93 percent, treated on both sides for adhesion and anti-static, and listed for labels and OHP sheets. SH92 makes similar claims, with a stated haze of about 1.2 percent, but the sheets use different test methods, so compare by sample.
- Toray Lumirror E63 PET Film is also anti-static and pretreated, but it is a low density white film for print receivers, with surface resistivity of about 4E+11 to 5E+11 ohm per square. SH92 is clear rather than white and shows lower surface resistivity, about 1E+10.
- SKC Skyrol SW83G PET Film is the white, one-side ink-treated Skyrol grade. SH92 is its clear, both-sides-treated counterpart in the SKC range.
What the Sheet Does Not Say
- SKC states elsewhere that its published results are a general guide to material properties and not a guarantee. Treat the numbers as typical.
- The gauge table and several rows did not come through in order, so thickness, light transmission, and gloss values are not quoted here.
- No applications, food contact statement, or thickness tolerance is given in the text available.
