Kodak Estar Highly Conductive (HCF) Films are premium polyester (PET) films featuring a proprietary conductive coating that is applied in-line during the manufacturing process. Flexible and dimensionally stable, HCF films are extremely uniform, optically clear, highly resilient and cost effective, enabling manufacturers and product integrators to seamlessly incorporate them into a variety of electronic displays having multiple medical, automotive, consumer, military and industrial applications.
- Features
- Highest quality, optically clear, single or dual-sided PET film.
- Highly flexible, unlikely to break or lose conductivity when formed to a shape.
- Very low haze, ultra-high light transmittance.
- Customizable surface resistivity from 150–700 ohms per square.
- Invisible patterning is available on any one of the HCF films in the category.
- Can be also used to effectively provide full-sheet conductivity.
- Can be coated on one or both sides in 127–178 μm (5–7 mil) thickness, up to 1,384mm width, and unlimited length.
- Cost-effective alternative to ITO.

Roll Integrity
- The edge of the roll is free of nicks, cuts or visible telescoping greater than ± 6.3 mm (0.25 inches).
- The roll contains no gage bands which visibly distort the film surface.
Consistent Surface Quality
- Material is free from any surface imperfections, the result of an exclusve Kodak in-line scanning process which detects, corrects, and ultimately delivers a product that meets or exceeds specifications.
- Kodak quality technicians evaluate sample product quality using internal and external standards to confirm that all applicable quality standards are met.
