Description

Offering superior quality and lower melting temperatures, theDrytac MHL Matte UV 3mil 51" x 500' Low Temp Thermal Laminating Film is the best choice for encapsulating xerographic and inkjet-bond output. It is co-extruded for a carefully balanced ratio of polyester film to adhesive. Its adhesive is designed to activate between 190 and 220 degrees Fahrenheit. To minimise photo fading and prevent moisture exposure, this overlaminate has been specially designed with UV inhibitors and has a matte finish. The low sealing temperature prevents ink in digital print graphics from deterioration, at high temperatures.

Features:

Specifically developed for multi-heat roller laminators (MHL) and hotshoe laminators.
Co-extruded for a carefully balanced ratio of polyester film to adhesive.
Higher clarity for more vibrant colors, reduced "orange peel", greater rigidity (which reduces wrinkles and waves) and better adhesive flow characteristics (wet out).
Available in a variety of thicknesses and finishes from standard gloss and lustre finishes to scratch-resistant films suitable for outdoor applications.
Suitable for both single sided and double sided laminating (encapsulation) of photographic, electrostatic, inkjet-bond, xerographic and lithographic output, as well as many more applications.
Incorporate UV absorbers for excellent protection from damaging UV rays.

Tips and Technical Data

Tips For Applying MHL UV Thermal Films:

Consider webbing your laminator with a gloss film on top and a luster film on the bottom supply shaft. This will allow you to change the surface finish by feeding in your image either face up or face down.
Co-extruded for a carefully balanced ratio of polyester film to adhesive.
Use your idler bar to increase the area of contact between the heated rollers and the film.
To allow for proper heat recovery, laminators with smaller diameter rollers require a slower processing speed and / or higher operating temperature for the best results.
MHL laminating films bond while they are cooling (thermoplastic). This means that it is important that you create a steady uniform tension with the pull rollers (and a cooling system for thicker films) to ensure a smooth, flat encapsulated print without waves or wrinkles.

Technical Data

MHL Low Temperature Matte is a 3 mil (75µ) high clarity, abrasion-resistant PET thermal laminating film with a low melt-point adhesive designed for high-speed single- and double-sided lamination. It off ers excellent glare reduction. The film is resistant to water, oil, acid, and alkali and can be die cut.

Typical Applications

Ideal for tradeshow graphics.
Suitable for a wide variety of POP displays.
