printlux PVC eco wp rev adh Technical Information General Information Glossy, white, cadmium free, monomer plasticised vinyl, coated on one side with a solvent-free, age-resistant and permanently elastic acrylate adhesive. The other side is equipped with a waterproof, high quality topcoating to be used in the ink-jet process with a wide range of printers and inks. The coating is optimized for rapid drying, high ink anchoring, excellent image quality and it shows high flexibility. Dye-based as well as pigmented inks (indoor and outdoor types) are applicable. Good results were obtained for example with Encad GO inks and Hewlett Packard outdoor inks (1892), both series pigment based. Before printing large scale runs, check the compatibility of the product with your printing equipment. Areas of application / Handling printlux® PVC eco adhesive wp is a pliable and ink jet printable vinyl. It must always be printed on the side winded to the outside, equipped with a special coating to ensure an effective uptake of different inks. This leads to fast drying and low ink consumption with nearly all commercially available pigmented and dye based inks. To obtain best results, software, the type and the amount of ink have to be adapted and optimized. For protection and finishing of the prints, Neschen cold laminating films are highly recommended. For longer term outdoor application, edges and drill holes have to be sealed by clear outdoor lacquers. In this case the print is protected not only from intrusion of water and mechanical distortions, but also from deterioration by UV light. Printability is to be evaluated prior to large scale use as the number of variables (temperature, humidity, inks, software, printer, printing technology...) as well as their influences can be enormous. The printed film can be affixed over uneven or corrugated surfaces without brittling of the coating. The reversible adhesive allows removing of the adhesion even after mid-term Applications. Residual adhesive, which might occur under some special conditions can very easily be removed by usage of Petrolether (b.p. 60°-90°C / 140° -194°F). Technical Data
