HEXIS at Viscom Paris
Friday 03. September 2010 - HEXIS, the French vinyl manufacturer, will be exhibiting at the forthcoming Viscom show in Paris to launch an all-new Latex digital printing film and gloss laminate destined for vehicle wrapping applications.
Both films are PVC-free and do not contain any solvents, plasticisers or heavy metals. The compound is flexible and conformable enough to be suitable for car wraps and in general applications that demand a conformable film.
At the Viscom show Hexis will use an all-electric TESLA roadster to demo the new films and emphasize their environment-friendly qualities.
The latex films – made of an aqueous emulsion of a plastic material – are free of all those materials with certain environmental issues such as PVC, solvents, plasticisers and heavy metals.
The new HXL300WG2 has a thickness of 100µm and boasts a printed and laminated vertical outdoor exposure of 3 years. It can be printed with all types of solvent and eco-solvent inks including Mutoh bio inks and HP latex ink.
The HXL300WG2 is for dry application only and it carries the proven HEXPress structured adhesive and PE-liner to make the film repositionable during application and ease egress of any trapped air bubbles.
At Viscom HEXIS is on stand F36 in hall 8. Vehicle wraps using the new Latex film and other cast vinyls will be on demo daily throughout the show.
