Editorial Review Matte Duralar is a polyester film acetate alternative that has a matte translucent surface on both sides. Use as a covering, for overlays or for any project where a tough, non-adhesive film is required. Resists tearing and will never degrade or yellow. Can be marked with standard pencils, ink, charcoal, and paint. Pencil erases cleanly, so use as an alternative to drafting film.
