Fusion Wrap is a 60 microns white gloss high-performance polymeric film with FLITE Technology®. Fusion Wrap’s lite contact system is designed for fast and effective installation for vehicle wraps and graphics. Fusion Wrap features a low profile air egress liner and has a tinted, permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive that creates enough opacity to ensure a vibrant print.
Fusion Wrap is rated for outdoor durability up to 7 years (unprinted). Printed durability is dependent on the ink system used.
*Use on flat and simple curves only.

Fusion Wrap will resist weathering best when applied vertically. Horizontal angles, such as hood and auto roof surfaces, will deteriorate more quickly than vertical angles. This is due to increased exposure to sun and moisture, as well as high deposition of dirt and atmospheric contaminants. Actual horizontal weathering will be dependent on maintenance, location and elemental exposure. Use heat and/or chemicals when removing the film from the vehicle.
Fusion Wrap is designed to be used for vehicle wraps and graphics. When wrapping curves and channels with Fusion Wrap, it is recommended for the product to be draped and not stretched into areas with channels. The manufacturing process of Fusion Wrap poses certain limitations on applications, please refer to the Fusion Wrap Installation Guide & information below for installation techniques and recommendations. If you have any questions, such as if Fusion Wrap will work for your specific application, please contact your Arlon Sales Rep.

*Can be applied on low profile rivets. Rivet vary in shape and size so tenting may appear.
Complex curves are panels or components of the vehicle that bend in multiple directions. They are commonly found in bumpers, door handles, side view mirrors, fog light pockets, recessed windows in cargo vans, wheel well channels, and shark fin antennas. Due to polymeric films’ nature to shrink, do not apply into these areas by bridging and overstretching or with a one-piece seamless wrap. Instead, an installer must use cut-outs, inlays, or seams/overlaps.
