LIQUID LAMINATES & VINYL PRINT COATINGS

Clear coatings protect digital prints, vinyl & paint from abrasion, marring, weather and UV exposure while flexible enough for banners and vehicle graphics (even applied over rivets). Painted surfaces and vinyl signage also benefit from liquid lamination. Clear coats cut down on peeling by sealing the edges of vinyl graphics and lettering. Signs and banners look more unified and smooth. ClearShield is your first choice for all non-water-sensitive applications. ClearShield was created using state-of-the-art resins and ultraviolet inhibitors that protect the substrate, ink, and the clear coating itself. Use ClearJet on most substrates, including canvas, vinyl (enamel receptive and non-enamel receptive), banners, fiberglass, wood, metal, plastic, and paper. ClearJet is only for water-based inks.

We generally recommend the following dry film thickness:

  • ClearShield Water-based Clears – .7 to 1 mil dry film
  • ClearJet Solvent-based Clears - .5 to 1 mil dry film

This chart shows you the theoretical coverage at 100% transfer efficiency. Fine Art versions tend to penetrate much more than standard versions so the surface film build will be lower, yet the protection will be excellent. We strongly recommend that you test before use. A test will immediately show you incompatibilities, including water sensitivity, ink jet receptive layer mud cracks, and ink bleeds. Generally, let the tested material dry for at least 24 hours. Evaluate the adhesion, flexibility, and visual appearance. Be realistic in your expectations and simulate the conditions the material will be exposed to.

FROG JUICE CLEAR UV

Frog Juice is very glossy, is totally synthetic and will not yellow. It achieves maximum hardness slowly over a period of 30 days, yet is ready to handle and place outdoors in 30 minutes. Frog Juice is normally thinned with mineral spirits, but can be thinned with napha, automotive acrylic enamel reducers, and lacquer thinners. Hot thinners can cause problems without doing proper testing.
