DPF 6100XLP

Premium Cast Film with Low Profile X‑Scape Technology®

DPF 6100XLP is a 2-mil (50 micron) gloss white cast film with bubble releasing, tinted, clean removing, repositionable, permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive. The LX (Low Profile) X-Scape Technology® allows installers to achieve speedy installation while maintaining a high enough tack to ensure long-term bond. Designed for large format graphics, DPF 6100XLP is made of premium quality cast facestock with a low profile liner. The adhesive system is designed to provide excellent opacity as well as easy installation. The film provides superior conformability around rivets, curves, contours and channels. DPF 6100XLP is rated for outdoor durability up to 7 years (unprinted). Printed durability is dependent on the ink system used.

Optimum Performance

Actual weathering durability depends on surface preparation, surface maintenance and exposure conditions. Successful weather resistance is characterized by the retention of legibility. DPF 6100XLP will resist weathering best when applied to vertical or upper outboard angles. Horizontal angles, such as hood and auto roof surfaces, will deteriorate more quickly than vertical. This is due to increased exposure to sun and moisture, as well as high deposition of dirt and atmospheric contaminants. Arlon does not recommend its film for horizontal or close horizontal applications. Use heat and/or chemical when removing image from vehicle (see Installer Handbook for details).

Storage and Maintenance

Storing vinyl graphics in covered areas will help prolong the life of the vinyl by limiting its exposure to damaging elements such as sunlight and rain. Protecting a wrapped car in the garage can keep it sheltered from all types of weather and harmful pollution, both of which could wear out the horizontal surfaces of the car and cause damage to the paint underneath. Vinyl that starts to brown or show discoloration has been negatively affected by acidic pollutants and if not immediately removed could stain the paint. Taking extra steps to keep the vinyl covered when not in use will help extend the life of the vinyl and keep the car looking as good as it did when it was first wrapped.
