William Smith expands portfolio with Arlon overlaminate

William Smith continues to expand its portfolio with new Arlon high performance overlaminate.

In a bid to provide its customers with an innovative solution for heavy-duty and power sport applications William Smith has added Arlon’s new high performance overlaminate to its ever-expanding range of materials.

Manufacturer of quality vinyl film solutions, Arlon has developed the ProTec Series 3960 Overlaminate, which acts as an extremely durable barrier to protect decals and graphics while maintaining excellent clarity.
Providing the perfect protective overlaminate for racing, dirt bikes, and other recreational vehicles, the ProTec Series 3960 is a flexible, 305-micron overlaminate on a clear synthetic liner.

Ideal for applications needing exceptional robustness and abrasion resistance, the overlaminate has a 2-year durability, with a clear, permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive.

With efficiency in mind, ProTec Series 3960 is designed to be laminated cold, without heat. Thanks to its quick ‘wet-out’ adhesive system users can achieve pristine image quality, minimised silvering and ultimate gloss retention.

Chris Bradley, Head of Marketing at William Smith, part of the William Smith Group 1832, said: “We know our customers are constantly seeking new, advanced materials to enhance their offering and this overlaminate will certainly do just that.

“The overlaminate can be used in conjunction with Arlon’s DPF 8000 Ultra Tack or DPF 8200 High Tack film and will be available in 1370mm wide, 9.14m or 22.86m rolls.

“We continue to cement our commitment to supplying the UK with the best quality materials and we believe the ProTec Series 3960 will be a popular overlaminate.”
