DPF 2400
Fleet Grade Reflective Film
DPF 2400 is a 5-mil (125 micron) printable reflective vinyl film with high initial tack and permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive. The film conforms well to both flat and irregular surfaces when processed and applied according to Arlon recommendations. DPF 2400 meets or exceeds the following standards for motor vehicles: ISO 7591-1982, DOT FP-85 - Section 718, and ASTM-D 4956-89, Spec. Type 1, Class 1. It is rated for outdoor durability up to 7 years (unprinted). Printed durability is dependent on the ink system used.
