Grafix Dura-Lar resists tearing when you're handling delicate overlays, won't yellow over time in archival pieces, and tolerates heat up to 230 degrees Celsius without warping, crucial for techniques involving heat tools or lamination. The oriented polyester construction maintains dimensional stability through humidity changes and repeated handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatte sheets provide a frosted surface that accepts graphite, colored pencil, and markers without the slick resistance of standard acetate. This tooth makes Dura-Lar valuable for animation cells, architectural overlays, and stencil cutting where you need to draw registration marks or annotations directly on the film. The non-tearing property means you can die-cut intricate patterns or trim precise edges without the material splitting at stress points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach pad contains 25 sheets bound for convenient storage and clean separation. Artists working with layered compositions appreciate how these sheets maintain clarity without the brittleness that makes traditional acetate crack along fold lines or tear at corners during repeated use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grafix","offers":[{"title":"clear \/ 9 in. x 12 in. \/ 0.003","offer_id":47976553644261,"sku":"55526","price":9.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"clear \/ 11 in. x 14 in. \/ 0.003","offer_id":47976553677029,"sku":"55704","price":13.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"clear \/ 14 in. x 17 in. \/ 0.003","offer_id":47976553709797,"sku":"56004","price":18.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"clear \/ 19 in. x 24 in. \/ 0.003","offer_id":47976553742565,"sku":"56027","price":34.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"clear \/ 9 in. x 12 in. \/ 0.005","offer_id":47976553775333,"sku":"94000","price":12.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"clear \/ 11 in. x 14 in. \/ 0.005","offer_id":47976553808101,"sku":"94001","price":17.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"clear \/ 14 in. x 17 in. \/ 0.005","offer_id":47976553840869,"sku":"94002","price":25.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"clear \/ 19 in. x 24 in. \/ 0.005","offer_id":47976553873637,"sku":"94003","price":47.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte \/ 9 in. x 12 in. \/ 0.005","offer_id":47976553906405,"sku":"94004","price":20.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte \/ 11 in. x 14 in. \/ 0.005","offer_id":47976553939173,"sku":"94005","price":27.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte \/ 14 in. x 17 in. \/ 0.005","offer_id":47976553971941,"sku":"94006","price":39.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"matte \/ 19 in. x 24 in. \/ 0.005","offer_id":47976554004709,"sku":"94007","price":73.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s55526.jpg?v=1761684224"},{"product_id":"grafix-dura-lar-acetate-alternative-wet-media-pads","title":"Dura-Lar Acetate Alternative Wet Media Pads","description":"\u003cp\u003ePolyester film accepts watercolor, ink, and acrylic without the beading and rejection that plague uncoated plastics. Grafix coats both sides of this 0.004-inch film with a specialized surface that grabs water-based media on contact, maintaining wet-on-wet control and layering capability you'd expect from paper.
