Grafix - Dura-Lar Acetate Alternative Sheets
Dura-Lar Acetate Alternative Sheets
Create mixed media art on crystal-clear film that won't warp
Polyester film maintains perfect flatness where acetate buckles and warps. Dura-Lar stays dimensionally stable through humidity changes, temperature shifts, and handling stress that would distort traditional acetate. This clarity matters when you're stacking overlays for color separations or protecting finished artwork, no yellowing, no clouding, just optical-grade transparency that won't interfere with what's beneath.
The film accepts wet and dry media surprisingly well for such a slick surface. Ink, graphite, and markers adhere reliably, making Dura-Lar practical for everything from animation cels to protective overlays for presentation boards. Grafix manufactures this material with consistent thickness and surface quality, eliminating the frustration of working with sheets that vary from one to the next.
Choose plain sheets for overlays and separations where repositioning matters, or select adhesive-backed versions when you need permanent mounting. The material resists tearing and puncturing far better than acetate, surviving the repeated handling that studio work demands. Illustrators use it for layered compositions, graphic designers for mockups and comps, printmakers for registration guides, anywhere clarity and stability can't be compromised.
