Films Protection Company is a manufacturer of 100 micron pet film supplied as a stable 100um / 0.1mm roll material for die-cutting, insulation parts, label facestock, adhesive coating, and lamination. This approx. 4 mil polyester film is used when thickness control, roll flatness, corona treatment, and clean slitting edges affect converting yield. Rolls can be supplied untreated or corona treated, with width, length, core ID, roll OD, dyne level, and sample testing confirmed around the final process.
Product Overview
This film is made around one working thickness: 100um, also known as 0.1mm or approximately 4 mil. In converting lines, this gauge balances stiffness and flexibility, helping the roll feed smoothly while staying easy to slit, laminate, punch, and die cut.
For label facestock conversion, the material supports web stability, die-cut registration, and cleaner matrix stripping. For insulation work, it is used for punched pads, spacer films, electronic separators, motor insulation pieces, and die-cut components where gauge consistency affects fitting accuracy and electrical performance.
A typical thickness tolerance can be around +/-4%, depending on the confirmed specification. Excess variation may make cutting depth, adhesive coating thickness, laminated build-up, and punched part fit harder to control. The specification should also include treated side, target dyne level, slitting width, roll length, core ID, roll OD, and limits on splices, edge defects, telescoping, or soft roll edges.
Benefits
- Balanced handling:The 0.1mm gauge gives enough stiffness for web feeding, label conversion, insulation punching, and precision cutting.
- Predictable cutting depth:Typical +/-4% thickness tolerance helps control kiss-cut depth, punching pressure, laminated part thickness, and coating build-up.
- Clean slitting:A stable polyester base supports cleaner edges, smoother matrix stripping, and lower tearing risk.
- Better roll condition:Smooth winding, controlled tension, low wrinkle risk, and reduced telescoping help coating, printing, lamination, and die-cutting lines run steadily.
- Process-ready surface:One-side or two-side corona treatment can be supplied, and dyne check, adhesive test, die-cutting test, or lamination trial can be arranged before full production.
What should be specified for corona-treated 100 micron PET film?
For corona-treated film used in labels, adhesive coating, or lamination, “printable” is usually not enough. The treated side, target dyne level, ink or adhesive system, storage time, and downstream process should be confirmed. One-side treatment is often suitable for label facestock or single-side adhesive coating, while two-side treatment is useful when both surfaces need bonding. Because surface energy can decline after long storage, dyne level verification is recommended before use, especially for water-based ink, UV printing, acrylic adhesive coating, and multilayer structures.

Applications
- Die-cut insulation parts:Punched pads, spacer films, electronic separators, motor insulation pieces, and precision-cut polyester components.
- Label facestock conversion:For stiffness, surface treatment, print adhesion, die-cut registration, and matrix stripping.
- Adhesive coating substrate:For coating anchorage, roll flatness, and controlled surface energy.
- Lamination film base:For adhesive lamination, printed film lamination, and multilayer structures.
- Industrial converting layers:Carrier layers, separator sheets, tape components, protective films, and gasket-like polyester parts.
How does thickness tolerance affect die-cutting stability in 0.1mm polyester film?
In die-cutting, this gauge needs to feed evenly and react consistently to blade pressure. If tolerance is too wide, the same cutting depth may over-cut thinner areas and leave thicker areas incompletely cut. That can cause rough edges, difficult matrix stripping, liner damage, or unstable waste removal. A controlled 100um base helps keep kiss-cut depth, punching pressure, and web tension more predictable. For insulation pads, label parts, and laminated components, nominal thickness, tolerance, roll flatness, winding quality, and slitting edge condition should be checked before mass conversion.

FAQ
Q1: Is 100 micron PET film the same as 0.1mm polyester film?
Yes. 100 micron equals 100um, which is 0.1mm and close to 4 mil thickness.
For broader material naming questions, see difference between PET film and polyester film before confirming corona side, dyne level, roll width, and die-cutting trial requirements.
Q2: Can this roll be supplied with corona treatment?
Yes. It can be supplied untreated, one-side corona treated, or two-side corona treated for printing, coating, or lamination.
Q3: What details should be confirmed before production?
Width, length, core ID, roll OD, thickness tolerance, treated side, dyne level, final application, and pre-test requirement.
Q4: Is this film suitable for die-cutting and label conversion?
Yes. The 100um gauge is used for stable web feeding, clean cutting, label facestock, insulation parts, and laminated components.
