What is BioRenew 30 Anti-Scratch Matt Lamination Film?
BioRenew 30 Anti-Scratch Matt is a polypropylene film with a specialist scratch-resistant surface and a heat-activated adhesive for thermal lamination.
Its extra matt finish creates a refined appearance, while the protective surface helps reduce visible damage caused by rubbing and handling.
The renewable contribution originates from previously used vegetable oils, including waste cooking oil, which are processed into raw materials suitable for polymer production.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Anti-Scratch film completely scratch-proof?
No. It provides enhanced resistance to scratching, scuffing and abrasion. The level of protection depends on the conditions and handling involved.

Scratches and scuff marks are often more noticeable against dark backgrounds. The specialist surface helps reduce this visible wear.
Can it be glued, foil stamped or spot UV coated?
Yes. These processes are compatible when the manufacturer’s handling recommendations are followed. Trials should confirm suitability for the specific materials and finish.
Can the surface be printed after lamination?
The manufacturer lists compatibility with most UV inks. The intended ink system and application should be tested before production.
