DPF 4500GLX / MLX

Intermediate Calendered Film with Low Profile X‑Scape Technology®

DPF 4500GLX / MLX is constructed of a 3-mil (75 micron) white calendered film offered in gloss or matte and coated with tinted, bubble releasing, permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive. The LX (Low Profile) X-Scape Technology® allows installers to achieve speedy installation while maintaining high enough tack to ensure long-term bond. The polymeric facestock allows for vibrant prints combined with ease of application for short and medium-term graphics. DPF 4500GLX / MLX is rated for outdoor durability up to 5 years (unprinted). Printed durability is dependent on the ink system used.
