Density affects characteristics of film. Density ranges are as follows: Low Density Under. Different test method that vicat softening point, so different values result. Higher level of surface tension is achieved by passing an electrical charge across the film.
The higher the value, the greater the amount of tension. Untreated film has a natural dyne level of about For film to accept adhesive coatings and solvent-based ink for printing, it is necessary to treat film to 38 to 40 dynes.
