  • anti graffiti protection ?

    Hi

    What does everyone do when asked for this on signs or panels.

    We have 60″ laminators so an antigraffiti film would be the best option but would look at all alternatives.

    Best supplier and price details for the graffiti film would be nice.

    I am sure “someone somewhere knwos something” by the way there is a prize if you can name the movie!

    Cheers

    John

    Most of the major vinyl suppliers do a polyester anti graffitti film. We use Avery 7110 or 3M 639. William Smiths sell the 3m Product, Spandex do the Avery.
    For a true anti graffiti you could use a PVF film such as Tedlar. Again many suppliers (KPMF, Madico) do stock this.

    I agree. Tedlar is the perfect choice, but is rather expensive.

    We get all our signs gel coated by a local tame sprayshop. Can’t use foamex as it goes thru an oven – ideal for dibond & ali though. The little dears can’t pick that off! It also takes solvents so cleaning is easy.
