This innovative proprietary platform technology is a transparent thin-film for tapes, labels, coatings, packaging and a wide range of other uses. FLEXSSM™ film has rigidity along its longitudinal axis which allows it to extend and support itself without curling up or folding over. Its' unique self-supporting property is created by an induced arc which acts like a beam, provides structural support to improve manageability and performance with less material. FLEXSSM™ film improves flat sheet and rolled-release products and may be transparent to opaque.

The stiffness in the desired direction is created by an induced structural arc which appears when the film is released from the roll. The arch-shaped structure acts like a beam and it becomes a structural element itself to self-support the FLEXSSM™
