Altyno Product Description
Altyno is an architectural decorative film with pressure sensitive adhesive and release paper, manufactured in Japan by AICA Kogyo Co., Ltd. (AICA), and imported to the United States and distributed in the United States by AMBTRA, Inc. (AMBTRA). Altyno adds beautiful decorative surfaces to both new and existing surfaces that are smooth, solid, and non-porous. Examples of such surfaces are high-pressure laminates and metals. Altyno can be installed on substrate surfaces on-site by AICA-AMBTRA Certified Installers manually, or in-factory by laminating machines operated by trained workers. AICA-AMBTRA Certified Installers are installers who have successfully completed the installation training course approved by AICA and/or AMBTRA
