Cast PVC – Wit glans – Permanente grijze high‑tack belijming – Dikte 50 µm – Geschikt voor laag‑energie, gestructureerde en 3D‑oppervlakken (zoals autobumpers)
A 50 µm (micron) cast PVC film with glossy finish and adhesion designed to adhere reliably to smooth, textured and low-energy substrates for long-lasting graphics in signage, vehicle wraps and industrial applications.
A. Key customer benefits and value
In the signage and visual communications industry, a major challenge is applying durable graphics to difficult substrates - low-energy plastics, powder-coated metals, textured panels or molded shapes. Dimix's High Tack Cast 50 µm Gloss film bridges that gap. With its ultra-thin cast PVC construction and powerful adhesive, it delivers:
This makes it ideal for signage companies, vehicle wrappers and industrial graphic installers who demand high performance in difficult environments.
Material & Structure
Front foil: 50 µm cast gloss PVC
As a reference, the GF 885AE 50 µm cast film offers a durability of ~7 years and an adhesion of ~8.8 N/25 mm to stainless steel for 24 hr.
This vinyl is designed for demanding and low-energy surfaces such as polyethylene, polypropylene, powder-coated metals, painted plastics, textured or molded panels, etc. Thanks to its high initial adhesion, the film grips where standard vinyls fail. However, cleaning and surface preparation and sometimes adhesion promoters may still be required for optimal results.
With unprinted vertical exposure, the life of the film is ~5-7 years (depending on climate). With printed images and protective overlaminates, the expected life may be shorter due to the durability of the ink. In environments with high UV radiation or corrosion, actual life may be lower - consider a protective laminate or periodic maintenance.
The adhesive is designed to be permanent. For a limited removal window (e.g., up to 3-5 years, depending on the substrate and climate), removal with heat may be possible. After that, the adhesive may adhere too strongly or removal may damage the substrate.
It is compatible with most types of large-format printing: solvent, eco-solvent, latex and UV-curable inks. As always, make sure your ink is fully cured and test the adhesion/print quality on samples before proceeding to mass production.
Laminates are recommended when additional protection is needed for abrasion resistance, UV resistance, graffiti protection or chemical exposure. Use a compatible cast or premium laminate to maintain flexibility and prevent distortion.
The minimum temperature for application of this film is usually specified (often ~5 °C or higher). Application in cold conditions may reduce adhesion and increase the risk of edges coming up. Always consult the product data sheet for the specific temperature range.
Store them in a cool, dry environment (20-25 °C, <50 % RH). Store rolls horizontally, do not stack heavy loads and avoid deformation. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
Yes, because it is a cast film, it offers good conformity. Use proper heating, micro-screening and careful installation techniques, especially for compound bends. Avoid excessive stretching, which can lead to distortion or lifting.
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners and soft cloths. Avoid strong solvents or high-pressure washing at close range. Check edges and corners regularly, especially in high wind or moisture environments.
Unlike calendered vinyls, cast vinyls (especially those with high adhesion) have superior dimensional stability, conformability and longevity. Calendared vinyls tend to be thicker and less flexible and are often more likely to fail on textured or plastic substrates. For difficult surfaces, a cast vinyl with high adhesive strength is usually the best choice.
