Great for protecting against graffiti, vandalism & broken windows
ProductDescription
This Mactac Permacolor PermaGard SAG 54" x 150' Clear Anti-Graffiti and Window Protection Overlaminate is a 2.0 mil hard coated, scratch resistant high gloss and ultra-clear, durable polyester face with excellent graffiti, UV and abrasion resistance. It has an optically clear, acrylic, pressure sensitive adhesive protected by a 78# smooth white kraft release liner. It is engineered to protect your images and windows from vandalism and add an additional layer of safety from ?ying glass shards in case of breakage. This film can be laminated to photographic prints, transparencies, latex, solvent-, eco-solvent, water-based and UV inkjet prints, and UV screen printed images to impart superior protection for your graphics from graffiti, abrasion, UV light degradation, dirt, moisture and many other potentially damaging effects in both indoor and outdoor environments. It can also be used in private or public transport vehicles and areas (trains, subways, tramways, buses...) that require graffiti and window protection. It can be wet applied directly to windows and mirrors or first laminated to a pressure sensitive print media and then applied onto flat surfaces. Plus, this film has a very good solvent resistance, so if tagged, the graffiti can be easily cleaned off using most commercially available graffiti removing cleaners without damaging the graphic.

Durability The durability of the film is up to 2 years outdoors and 5 years indoor. While all PERMACOLOR overlaminating films have UV resistance built in to help extend the life of your image, 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.
Chemical Resistance Resistant to non-abrasive soaps, denatured alcohol, water, detergents and most diluted acids and alkalis. It is not affected by short term contact with most of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, ketones, esters, chlorinated hydrocarbons and alcohol

Recommendations
Where exposure to moisture, chemicals, solvents or high pressure wash is anticipated, Mactac recommends sealing the edges with varnish, silicone or other sealant to prevent penetration by these liquids.
The addition of heat while simultaneous mounting with Thermal Overlaminates may result in curl or have other detrimental effects on the finished product.
Whenever possible, always test first to ensure end-use capability.
Processing:
LAMINATION:
Mactac recommends laminating SAG 53 to your printed graphics with a professional laminator. Overlaminates should not be applied onto dusty or dirty prints.
Mactac's pressure sensitive mounting films are intended for "Cold Roll Lamination" (40°F - 104°F).
APPLICATION:
Wet application method is recommended when used as a window protection film. We recommend using professional window application squeegees for a perfect application. Ref: TA2111 for proper installation instructions!
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING:
SAG films can be easily cleaned off using most commercially available window cleaners or and graffiti removing cleaners without damaging the graphic.
