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 case of the Fine Art versions, they are often much more absorbed into the material than the standard versions, so the surface protective layer will be thinner, but the protective effect remains excellent.
| 1 liter of laminating fluid is sufficient to coat the following surface: | For 25 µm thick coating | For 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%.
