ClearShield®: clear liquid laminate
for non-water-sensitive ink/media combinations
ClearShield® is your first choice
for all non-water-sensitive applications. We created ClearShield®
using state-of-the-art resins and ultraviolet inhibitors that protect the substrate,
ink, and the clear coating itself. These non-yellowing clear coatings have excellent
exterior durability and are highly flexible.
Use ClearShield® on most substrates,
including waterproof canvas, vinyl, banners, fiberglass, wood, metal, plastic,
and paper. You can apply it over solvent-based inks and most water-based paint
systems. ClearShield® is available in several versions.
This chart gives you information about each product.
