Special Finish Laminates
Laminate Carbon effect
textured 1520 mm 30 m long term Cast PVC
Film composed of a 125-µm, clear, structured, cast PVC, which is coated with a pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive. Designed to be cold laminated on mass-coloured or digital printing films; it can also be directly applied to smooth 2D or moderated 3D surfaces. Glossy carbon effect.
- Due to their reinforced adhesive, our textured effect laminates are also compatible with films printed with UV inks.

Toepassing & onderhoud
- UV protection.
- For modifying/improving/protecting :
- a plotter or wrap vinyl: apply the PCCARBON film to unstructured films only using a cold laminator or via direct application. The compound can be cut using a plotter, except Super Chrome films (see technical data sheets of Super Chrome films). After cutting, it is possible to transfer with the HEX860 tape.
- a digital printing film: apply the PCCARBON film to solvent, eco-solvent, latex or UV inkjet printed films only.
- an already painted substrate: apply to undamaged original paintwork only. If the paintwork is not original and/or damaged, the application and the removal are at the judgement and risk of the installer.
- For concave, convex or slightly undulated surfaces, it is recommended to carry out an application test in order to make sure of the film's deformation limits.
- For film cleaning, only use a non-abrasive sponge or soft cloth with soapy water.
Aanbevelingen
- Before applying this laminate to a HEXIS digital printing film, which has been printed with solvent inks, it is recommended to respect the following optimal drying time for the inks:
- 48 hours if the printed film is cast,
- 24 hours if the printed film is calendered. - Given the strong structure of the PCCARBON film, some bubbles may appear underneath the film during lamination. The appearance of the compound can be improved by optimising the lamination parameters:
- Ensure maximum pressure between the lamination cylinders.
- Set a slow lamination speed.
Advice: In all cases, read the laminating machine’s instructions carefully and carry out a preliminary application trial.
- After installation, the final surface aspect can be improved by heating the film to +60 °C (+140 °F) and by applying it using a ROLLRIV foam roller.
Duurzaamheid in detail
- Vertical outdoor exposure, upon substrate:
Without mechanical stress: Up to 3* 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.
- Indoor exposure, upon substrate: up to 5 years.
This durability may vary depending on frequency and type of cleaning / mechanical stress (friction, impacts etc.) to which the film is exposed.
