Sihl ClearSOL WetCling
Film 125
New transparent Sihl polyester film for solvent inks
Window advertising made simple yet effective!
Sihl introduces the new ClearSOL WetCling Film 125, a new concept for
window advertising: a transparent polyester film, which cleverly clings
to smooth flat surfaces that are first wiped with soapy water. An easier,
quicker or more efficient product cannot be found on the market.
Düren June 2013 – Sihl will present the latest development for window
graphics, ClearSOL WetCling Film 125 (3550) at FESPA in London from
25th – 29th June. A crystal clear polyester film, the first of its kind on the
market, with a special coating that is activated by soapy water. Its swellable
coating enables images printed with solvent inks to be stuck easily and quickly
to a variety of smooth transparent surfaces. Using solvent inks the coated side
of the film is printed and this is the side that is then applied to the wet glass or
Acrylic glass surface. Simply wet the surface with soapy water, apply the film,
reposition, using a squeegee push all excess liquid to the edges of the film
and wipe away with a dry cloth/ towel: that is all that is needed for this film to
cling to the chosen surface. It can also be removed without leaving behind any
residue and is repositionable. The image also has full protection from all
atmospheric influences which could cause damage – the film on the one side
and the surface on the other side. As the coating only clings/ sticks after water
activation, no release liner is required- saving waste.
Ad’s that guarantee attention
Sihl ClearSOL WetCling Film 125 (3550) is a polyester film which - thanks to
its unique coating - offers more powerful adverts. The excellent colour
brilliance and high ink saturation guarantees well defined prints with high
contrast that can be efficiently and easily used at any time. The film can be
used as a normal film when not activated by water.
Mainly produced to be printed with solvent inks this film is also compatible with
IR-Latex inks. UV ink can also be used, but when printing with UV the
uncoated side of the film is printed and then the coated side is adhered to the
chosen surface. Users will be astounded by the various application
possibilities of this product and the second to none advertising qualities of the
print.
Sihl ClearSOL WetCling Film 125 (3550) is available in Germany via Sihl
Direct GmbH (www.sihl-direct.de).
