• Durability
  The durability of this film as a Floor Graphic (horizontal) is 3 months indoor and 1 week outdoors. The durability of the film is 2-3 years in vertical (90±5°) applications outdoors and 3-5 years indoors in vertical applications. All Permacolor overlaminating films have UV resistance built in to help extend the life of your image. However, the durability of the image is mainly dependent upon the quality of the inks (see technical data sheets given by the ink manufacturers) and pressure sensitive media being used.
• Shelf Life
  Two years when stored at 75°F (24°C) and 50% relative humidity or less. Note: MACtac recommends that rolls be stored on end or suspended from the core.
• Limitations
  1) The user is responsible for determining the product’s suitability, including adhesion and if needed, removal characteristics when used in applications other than listed specifically in this Performance Guide.
  2) If there are any questions about applications, please contact your Mactac sales representative to discuss your requirements for recommendations.

• Recommendations
  Mactac studies and field surveys with numerous customers using Permacolor laminates in rolled-up graphic applications, leads to the following recommendations for rolling and shipping laminated images:
  
  1. Prior to rolling graphics:
  • a) A 2 - 4 hour wet-out period is strongly recommended for the adhesive system to build to ultimate adhesion. This will significantly improve your success with rolled-up graphics.
  • b) This product can be used over UV inkjet and screen printed images. However, extra wet-out time is required to reduce silvering and build bond prior to rolling.
  
  2. For single-side laminated images:
  • a)Roll laminated side in for shipping and storage.
  • b) An inside roll diameter of 3 - 5 inches, minimum, is recommended for graphics with less than 10 mil total graphic thickness (includes imaged media and Permacolor overlaminates).
  • c) For images with a total thickness of 10 mils or greater an inside roll diameter of 10 - 12 inches, minimum, is recommended.
  
  3. For images laminated on both front and back sides:
  • a)Roll images with the thicker laminate to the inside for shipping and storage. For example: if your image has 5 or 10 mil polycarbonate or vinyl on the front and 15 mil Polycarbonate on the back (for additional stiffness), roll the graphic with the 15 mil PermaFlex® side in.
  • b) All double laminated images should be rolled with an inside roll diameter of 10 - 12 inches minimum. Remember that a larger inside diameter is better.
  
  Please keep in mind that these are recommendations, individual experience should not be discounted. We recognize that different laminators and laminating methods may produce different results. The recommendations above represent our experience as having the “greatest” success in the field.
