Engineered Films and Substrates for High-Performance Applications

We offers a comprehensive range of advanced polyester films and substrates designed for demanding applications in membrane switches, graphic overlays, touch interfaces, printed electronics, and durable labels. Combining excellent printability, optical clarity, surface durability, and dimensional stability, our films are engineered to perform in industries where reliability and precision matter most. From textured and hardcoated finishes to thermoformable and high-temperature grades, Tenopex delivers versatile solutions that enable innovation, durability, and performance across medical, automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial markets.

TX-EBGG-TGloss HardCoat

A clear, high-gloss polyester film designed for applications that demand exceptional visual quality and long-term durability. The hard-coated surface resists scratching, abrasion, and aggressive cleaning agents, while the second-surface primer promotes strong adhesion with solvent-based screen inks. With excellent light transmission and stability under heat and humidity, it is ideal for membrane switches, backlit panels, labels, and user interfaces that require both reliability and optical clarity.

TX-EBAG-TAntiGlare HardCoat

Engineered with a micro-textured surface to reduce glare and minimize visible fingerprints, this is the preferred choice for displays and control panels in high-light conditions. The durable hard-coat layer provides strong resistance to wear, cleaning, and household or industrial chemicals, while the primer layer supports vivid graphics using solvent ink systems. Designed for both performance and usability, TX-EBAG-T ensures that critical information remains clear and readable in any environment.

TX-HL(B)-T Brushed (Grain) HardCoat

Tenopex® TX-HL(B)-T is a high performance hardcoat polyester film with a directional brush grain surface. Engineered to deliver a metallic appearance and subtle tactile feel. The textured pattern conceals fingerprints and handling marks, while Its 2-3H hardness surface provides excellent abrasion and chemical resistance. It is optimized for solvent based and UV cured screen printing inks, delivering sharp print definition and strong adhesion. It offers reliable embossability and durability making it ideal for membrane switches, fascias and decorative overlays

TX-FG-T Fine Matte HardCoat

A fine matte hardcoat polyester film designed for applications requiring a smooth, uniform surface with excellent durability and print receptivity. Engineered to deliver a subtle matte finish with consistent light transmission, this film provides outstanding resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and flexing, making it ideal for use in membrane switches, control panels, and printed overlays. Its balance of tactile response and visual clarity makes it a reliable choice for applications demanding both performance and aesthetics

TX-VG-TVelvet HardCoat

Developed for more demanding interface environments, this velvet hardcoat polyester film offers a deeper surface texture with enhanced scratch and chemical resistance. This series is particularly suited for high-traffic applications where a durable, anti-glare finish is essential. With excellent embossability, it ensures long-lasting performance and a refined tactile experience in industrial, automotive, and medical device overlays.

TX-HL(S)-T Steel (Grain) HardCoat

Tenopex® TX-HL(S)-T is a high performance hardcoat polyester film with a fine steel-grain texture for a smooth metallic effect and glare reduction with a subtle tactile feel. Its 2-3H hardness surface provides excellent abrasion and chemical resistance, while maintaining flexibility for embossing or forming. It is optimized for solvent based and UV cured screen printing inks, delivering excellent print adhesion and consistent visual quality, making it ideal for membrane switches, fascias and decorative overlays.
