DPF 2400XLP

Fleet Grade Reflective Digital Print Pressure Sensitive Film with Air-Egress

DPF 2400XLP is a 5-mil (125 micron) printable reflective vinyl film with bubble releasing, tinted, repositionable, permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive. The film conforms well to both flat and irregular surfaces when processed and applied according to Arlon recommendations. DPF 2400XLP 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) for flat surfaces and up to 5 years (unprinted) for irregular surfaces. 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 2400XLP will resist weathering best when applied to vertical angles rather than horizontal due to the nature of less UV exposure and moisture, as well as other contaminants. For additional installation tips on DPF 2400XLP, reference the DPF 2400XLP Installation Guide.

REMOVAL

Addition of heat during removal will make the process much cleaner and faster. Where ambient temperature is not that high, use either a flame type torch or heat gun to bring the temperature up. Arlon recommends getting the film and under laying adhesive above 130°F (54°C).

Remove the film in a continuous smooth motion with minimal stops at a shallow angle of less than 90 degrees for the cleanest and fastest separation. Where it is practical, two people on the removal make the job go far faster than using just one. With one person working the heating unit in front of the second person who is peeling the film, the job proceeds at a uniform and consistent pace. Where only one person is working there will be constant starting and stopping in addition to the problems on the heat being very inconsistent.
