    Hi

    A customer wants me to supply some stickers but need to be resistant to chemicals, the sample he has given me feels a bit different to normal laminate so think there might be something specific but none of my swatches have anything.

    Does anybody know of a laminate like this?

    cheers

    i think you will ideally need to know the type of chemical it needs to be resistant to most standard laminates will resist certain chemicals, subject to if they are PVC or Polyester based

    I guess so but have no idea where to start so instead of just phoning one supplier after another was hoping somebody had used something similar before to point me in a direction.

    not lazy, just busy. Honest 😳

    I’d go with what Kevin says – the starting point is to find out from the client what chemical(s) it needs to be resistant to. Then it should be a fairly straight forward job to seek the supplier’s advice. Otherwise you’ve got very little to go on and could still end up supplying an incompatible material.
