Spartech Debuts New Korad Flat Black Acrylic Film for Highly Esthetic Applications

Spartech, a leading manufacturer of engineered thermoplastics and custom packaging solutions, announced today the debut of Korad™ Flat Black Acrylic Film, a new ultra-low gloss laminate film for use in highly esthetic applications requiring glare reduction and low reflection rates.
