Grafix - Matte Dura-Lar Polyester Film Roll

Matte Dura-Lar Polyester Film Roll

Draw, erase, and redraw on both sides without ghosting or tearing

Polyester film that actually holds graphite and colored pencil without the waxy rejection you get from acetate or glossy surfaces. This 0.005-inch Dura-Lar features matte tooth on both sides, giving mechanical pencils and technical pens something to grip while maintaining the transparency artists need for layering and tracing work. The surface accepts marks cleanly and releases them just as cleanly, erasures lift without ghosting or surface damage, essential for iterative design work and precise technical drawings.

That dual-sided matte finish opens up techniques beyond basic tracing. Stencil makers cut crisp templates that won't curl or tear like paper alternatives. Mixed media artists layer transparent elements, building depth through overlapping imagery. Architects and designers develop presentation drawings that combine hand-rendered details with underlying technical plans. The material stays dimensionally stable through handling and environmental changes, unlike vellum that warps with humidity or tracing paper that tears at critical moments.

Grafix rolls this film in continuous lengths, letting you work large-format or cut custom sizes without the limitations of pre-cut sheets. At this gauge, the film provides workable transparency while maintaining enough body to handle without constant curling. More affordable than traditional drafting film, it delivers similar performance for applications where archival permanence isn't the primary concern.
