Developing multi-layer anti-static magnetic tape no thicker than a human hair is an exacting science. Adapting the technology to the increasingly intricate and demanding performance requirements of one of the most dynamic industries in the world is more than science --- it's Art.


Toray's Lumirror® division literally transforms science into art on a daily basis.Just ask the millions of audio and videotape professionals who rely on our magnetic media to deliver their creative vision to the world.




Lumirror® is a multifunctional, high performance biaxially-oriented polyester film backed by more than 30 years of design expertise and precision engineering. It's the critical component in magnetic recording materials like digital recording media. That means you'll find Lumirror® in some new and unexpected places --like bar code printers, phone cards, solar control panels, thermal transfer ribbons(TTR), electric devices and other high-tech products




TPA's state-of-the-art PET film lines produce 60 million pounds of Lumirror® film annually and our clean room fabrication facilities are second to none. PET multi-layer technology demands exacting tolerances to achieve tightly controlled film surface characteristics. Lumirror® products feature dozens of minute surface asperities, each less than 100nm.Coextrusion technology results in film surfaces that are microscopically smooth on one side, yet rough enough to endure processing on the other side. Additionally, Lumirror® films are available with priming and anti-stat capabilities to accommodate the myriad performance requirements of today's increasingly diverse markets and applications. As always, TPA continues to research and develop new polyester film technologies today in anticipation of future demands.
