Transparent
Laminate leather effect
The film is composed of 120-µm, transparent, structured, cast PVC, which is coated with a pressure-sensitive, acrylic adhesive. Designed to be laminated on mass-coloured or digital printing films; it can also be directly applied to smooth 2D or moderated 3D surfaces. Leather effect.
- Due to their reinforced adhesive, our textured effect laminates are also compatible with films printed with UV inks.

Toepassing & onderhoud
- For modifying/improving/protecting:
- A plotter or wrap vinyl: apply the PCLEATHER 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 PCLEATHER film to solvent, eco-solvent, latex or UV inkjet printed films only.
- Any other type of substrate: only apply to a surface that is in good condition or properly prepared.
Due to the wide variety of existing substrates, the application of film to an unsuitable and/or inadequately prepared surface or coating may result in media lifting or damage when the film is removed. The application and removal of the film are at the judgement and risk of the installer. HEXIS will not, under any circumstances, be liable for any damages or deteriorations caused by the installation or removal of a vinyl film.
- 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 PCLEATHER 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.
- For more information on the application method of the PCLEATHER film, please refer to its Application Guide under the "Professionals" heading, in the "Laminates” category on our website www.hexis-graphics.com.
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 to an upright position of ± 10° and to 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 7 years.
This durability may vary depending on frequency and type of cleaning / mechanical stress (friction, impacts etc.) to which the film is exposed.
