Matt films can either serve as the surface itself and remain in the end product or be used as a process film.

Matte HOSTAPHAN® polyester films

In many applications silky matte, that is rough and not too shiny, surfaces are desired. To achieve this effect, matte films are employed. They can either serve as surface themselves, remaining in the final product, or can serve as processing film. In both cases a matte surface is the result.
