Description
General Formulations GF 100 3.0 mil Gloss Clear Laminate with Clear Permanent Adhesive
GF 100 is a 3.0 mil gloss clear pressure sensitive vinyl laminate with a permanent acrylic adhesive on a smooth 53# liner. This calendered vinyl laminate protects graphics from abrasion and moisture. GF 100 is best applied by the cold laminating process without the addition of heat. The GF 100 series laminates are designed to protect digital and screen printed images for exhibit and display graphics. This product can be used in most instances where an overlay with a high gloss finish is required on interior or short-term exterior applications.

Frequently asked questions
Can GF 100 laminate be used on any kind of vehicle graphics?
No. GF 100 is ideal for flat or very slight curves. In the cases of vehicles, it is best to use a comformable, long-term laminate that matches the specifications of the wrap (print) vinyl used. GF 100 Series laminates are meant for applications where up to one year of durability is needed. GF 100 series laminates are not meant to be stretched or to conform.
Will a Calendered laminate like GF 100 work on a Cast print vinyl?
No. You can apply a cast laminate to a calendered vinyl, but you should never put a calendered laminate on a cast vinyl. They must be of a similar construction so that over time they shrink at the same rate to avoid delamination.
