Full Version: Madico Blister Free or Graffitti film on Lexan
I've got a local restaurant that wants film on Lexan window/door combination. Has anyone used blister free film on lexan? Was it difficult to use?
Also, I'm wondering if anyone has put graffitti film on lexan or plexiglass, and whether or not it was removable later? thanks,
either way. dont warranty it.
I have put up graffiti I think on lexan for a company that made micro processors and then put an amber film ontop cause the light would damage the chips. Have never taken it off so I dont know how it will come off. It was also on the interior of the building so no sunlight will hit it.
That is what Blister-free is designed for. We installed it on the LBJ Library a few years back to Lady Bird's office. Still holding up quite well.
I can't imagine a lexan door being a good idea. I would imagine whatever you put on will hold up as well as the door itself.
As for doing either one of these, I have not....
Strong adhesives adhere differently to lexan than they do to glass surfaces. Film will not come off without damaging the surface, hence ruining the optical clarity of lexan. Also, some adhesives react on polycarbonate resin based surfaces ... Simply put, it's a conflict of interest between the lexan surface and the adhesive. Also film application on lexan "may" create a chemical reaction that may eat at the lexan surface...

I've installed it on a freeway totally out in the open and it's been up for about 6 years and is still perfect. Devil
The question was also for anti-graffiti film. Anti-graffiti films in general have a stronger bond due to their external applicability.
I am talking strictly form an engineer's stand point...
My madico distributor doesn't sell partial rolls of BF. =(

I don't think we could have all seen all the situations. It may work with certain types of film and in certain climates and may not work in others. I have seen multiple situations especially in New York City and vicinity when film is removed, lexan surface is damaged. Films used were/are many different brands.
