Product Description
MHL Frost UV 6mil 51" x 250' is a low-glare, low-temp overlaminating film. The unique crystal-texture finish (similar to velvet Lexan) renders this film resistant to abrasion and fingerprints. It provides moderate UV protection for indoor and short term outdoor graphics. The scuff-resistant finish for MHL Frost UV stands up to mechanical abrasion and frequent handling, making it ideal for trade show and exhibit graphics. Get 51" x 250' of 6mil MHL Frost UV Low Temp film with every order. Product number MZ51206.
Product Details
- 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 Frost is a 6 mil (152µ) embossed composite thermal laminating film with a crystal textured finish that off ers a scratch-resistant, non-reflective surface for graphic enhancement. The finish minimizes reflectivity of bright light surroundings while allowing brilliant colors to shine through. MHL Frost incorporates ultra low melt-point technology in a textured laminating film. The film is resistant to water, oil, acid, alkali, and fingerprints. It is very durable and can be die-cut.
Typical Applications
- Recommended for display applications, especially exhibition and POS graphics.
- Ideal for pop-up display panels and roll-up banners.
- Performs well in high-traffi c areas.
