ClearShield Select liquid laminates feature the latest water-based coating technology innovations in UV light absorbers and light stabilizers. They are intended to be applied with a roller or spray equipment to a wide range of digitally printed products, including pressure-sensitive vinyl, banners, and rigid substrates.
The generally recommended layer thickness for ClearShield water-based materials is 18-25 microns.
The following table shows the theoretically achievable coverage with 100% application efficiency*. In the Fine Art versions, the material often absorbs the coating more deeply, so the surface protective layer is thinner. However, the protective effect remains excellent.
| 1 litre of laminating fluid is sufficient to coat the following surface: | For a 25 µm thick coating | For a 13 µm thick coating |
|---|---|---|
| ClearShield (all versions) | 12.5-15 m2 | 25-30 m2 |
| ClearJet Type S (FA & Original) | 9 m2 | 18.2 m2 |
| ClearJet Type BR (FA & Original) | 11.9 m2 | 23.8 m2 |
* applied with a roller or brush approx. 100% efficiency can be achieved.
* conventional spray application, spray gun approx. It provides 35% efficiency.
* The efficiency of HVLP spray application is approx. 65%.
