transparent
“PVC-free” laminate
A 50-µm, transparent polyurethane film, which is treated to protect against UV rays and coated with a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive. Product developed for cold-laminating HEXIS digital printing films. This laminate protects prints while providing them with enhanced mechanical resistance to abrasion and a higher durability compared with standard PVC models. It has a glossy surface finish.
- Extremely conformable, the PC500 makes it possible to customize various substrates over the long term.
Presentatie
Why choose a “100% PVC free” laminate?
Durably protect your prints
Be green!
A prime solution to reply to calls for tender mandating the use of environmentally- friendly products and with M1 and F1 certification.
With excellent conformability, especially for full wraps, the PC500 offers better mechanical resistance than PVC films, prints will be protected from UV rays.
It is also designed to provide more durable protection for your 200 series prints (compared to PVC laminates).

Het product
Acrylic solvent adhesive for inmediate and permanent adhesion
Cold lamination for HEXIS digital printing films, printed with the following inks: ECO-S, SOLV, LATEX, UV
50 µm thickness
Durability: more than 5 years
Available in 1370, 1520 mm x 50 m
Toepassing & onderhoud
- Protection of digital printing films.
- UV protection.
- To clean the film, only use a non-abrasive sponge or soft cloth with soapy water.
- In the case of an already painted substrate, self-adhesive media must only be applied to undamaged original paintwork. If the paintwork is not original and/or damaged, the application and the removal are at the judgement and risk of the installer.
Aanbevelingen
- Optimal drying time for the inks before laminating, coating or further processing of a HEXIS digital printing film, which has been printed with solvent, eco-solvent and latex inks, is:
- 48 hours for a cast film;
- 24 hours for a calendered film.
Duurzaamheid in detail
- Vertical outdoor exposure:
Without mechanical stress: Up to 7* years.
With mechanical stress: depends on the type and frequency of the stresses.
*Time during which the film retains a correct surface finish, from a conventional viewing distance. (A slight and gradual change in colour and gloss is a natural and inevitable phenomenon inherent in the natural breakdown of the materials.)
Note: The durability indicated in this document:
- concerns only the laminate and not the finished visual or graphic.
- is inherent in an upright position of ± 10° and in the product's geographical exposure position. Any other position accentuates climatic influences and an alteration in gloss or colour, or even a slight dusting may appear. Southern exposure, with a 45° inclination may divide the durability of the film by 2, and horizontal exposure by 2.8. Application to a vehicle bonnet is particularly severe, due to the horizontal exposure and the heat from the engine.
- is confirmed by UV ageing tests and vertical natural outdoor weathering.
- Vertical indoor exposure:
up to 9 years (for surfaces or areas subject to moderate handling or visitor frequency).
A film applied to surfaces exposed to mechanical stress will be subject to repeated abrasion that will reduce more or less rapidly its lifespan (change of appearance, peeling off, etc.).
