Description

PF6600 is a 6-mil clear PVC film with a matte textured finish to eliminate glare and provide a very unique and pleasing viewing surface. This product can be used as an overlaminate for indoor as well as outdoor applications. PF6600 is designed to be laminated to:
Photographic prints Transparencies; UV and Solvent screen printed images Solvent and eco-solvent inkjet prints; HP Latex inkjet prints UV inkjet prints*; Water-based inkjet prints Canon UVgel 356 prints.

PF6600 not only provides protection from abrasion and moisture, it also helps retard color fade caused by ultra violet (UV) light exposure. PF6600 comes with an 83# Coated Kraft liner.

PF6600 is designed to be used as a Floor Graphic laminate on dry and where floors can get wet. It exceeds industry standards for slip resistance, Certified by the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) when tested according to ANSI/NFSI B103.1, B101.1 and in Europe when tested according to DIN 51130 and British Standard BS7976-2.

Durability
In vertical applications (90±5°): the outdoor durability is 3 years and indoor durability is 5 years.
On floors: the outdoor durability is 3 months to one year, depending on the weather conditions. The indoor durability is up to 3 years depending on foot traffic.
This information is based on successful real life experience and testing in a laboratory
Weather-Ometer according to ISO 4892-3.
Note: Exposure to severe temperatures, ultra-violet light as well as conditions in Southern United States, tropical, sub-tropical or desert regions will cause more rapid deterioration. This also applies to polluted areas, high altitude and south facing exposure.
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 between 60°F – 77°F (15°C – 25°C) and at 50% relative humidity or less. Note: Mactac recommends that rolls be stored on end or suspended from the core.

Limitations
1) The user is responsible for determining the product’s suitability, including adhesion and if needed, removal characteristics when used in applications other than listed specifically in this Performance Guide.
2) If there are any questions about applications, please contact your Mactac sales representative to discuss your requirements for recommendations.

Recommendations
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.
b) This product can be used over UV inkjet and screen printed images. However, extra wet-out time
is required to reduce silvering and build bond prior to rolling.
2. For single-side laminated images:
a) Roll laminated side in 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 inside for shipping and storage. For example: if
your image has 5 or 10 mil polycarbonate or vinyl on the front and 15 mil Polycarbonate on the
back (for additional stiffness), roll the graphic with the 15 mil PermaFlex® side in.
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.
