PermaFlex®PRODUCT: IP6000 10 Mil Lustex® PERMACOLOR® The PermaFlex® overlaminating films is a family of relatively thick films that are coated with pressure sensitive adhesive on one side. These unique films can be laminated to either one or both sides of photographic prints, transparencies and digital images (inkjet, electrostatic, and thermal) to impart protection, surface texture and enough rigidity to eliminate the need for mounting to traditional flat substrates in many applications.

Description
PRODUCT: PermaFlex® 10 Mil IP6100 Lustex®
PERMACOLOR®
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The PermaFlex® overlaminating films is a family of relatively thick films that are coated with pressure sensitive adhesive on one side. These unique films can be laminated to either one or both sides of photographic prints, transparencies and digital images (inkjet, electrostatic, and thermal) to impart protection, surface texture and enough rigidity to eliminate the need for mounting to traditional flat substrates in many applications. These laminates also retain enough flexibility to allow images to be used in non-flat configurations such as on cylindrical displays. This feature also permits the laminates to be
rolled for easy shipping or storage.
IP6100 is a 10-mil film with a special “Lustex” surface. The low gloss texture helps eliminate glare and provides a very unique and pleasing viewing surface. This product can be used as an overlaminate for indoor as well as outdoor applications. IP6100 not only provides protection from abrasion and moisture, it also helps retard color fade caused by ultra violet (UV) light exposure. IP6100 exceeds industry standards
for slip resistance, when tested according to ASTM D2047.

DURABILITY:
The durability of the film is 2-3 years in vertical (90±5°) applications outdoors and 5+ years indoors.
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.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ROLLING AND SHIPPING LAMINATED IMAGES:
MACtac studies and field surveys with numerous customers using Permacolor® laminates in rolled-up graphic
applications, leads to the following recommendations for rolling and shipping laminated images:
1. Prior to rolling graphics:
a) A 2 - 4 hour wet-out period is strongly recommended for the adhesive system to build to ultimate
adhesion. This will significantly improve your success with rolled-up graphics.
2. For single-side laminated images:
a) Roll laminated side out for shipping and storage.
b) An inside roll diameter of 3 - 5 inches, minimum, is recommended for graphics with less than 10 mil
total graphic thickness (includes imaged media and Permacolor overlaminates).
c) For images with a total thickness of 10 mils or greater an inside roll diameter of 10 - 12 inches,
minimum, is recommended.
3. For images laminated on both front and back sides:
a) Roll images with the thicker laminate to the outside for shipping and storage. For example: if your
image has 5 or 10 mil polycarbonate on the front and 15 mil polycarbonate on the back (for additional
stiffness), roll the graphic with the 15 mil PermaFlex® side out.
b) All double laminated images should be rolled with an inside roll diameter of 10 - 12 inches minimum. Remember that a larger inside diameter is better. Please keep in mind that this is a recommendation, individual experience should not be discounted. We recognize that different laminators and laminating methods may produce different results. The
recommendations above represent our experience as having the “greatest” success in the field.
