Description
General Formulations GF 101 3.0 mil Lustre Clear Laminate with Clear Permanent Adhesive
GF 101 is a 3.0 mil lustre clear pressure sensitive PVC laminate with a permanent acrylic adhesive on a smooth 53# liner. This calendered PVC laminate also protects graphics from abrasion and moisture. GF 101 is best applied by the cold laminating process without the addition of heat and is designed to protect digital and screen printed images for exhibit and display graphics. GF 101 can be used in most instances where an overlay with a lustre finish is required on interior or exterior applications.

Frequently asked questions
Can GF 101 laminate be used on any kind of vehicle graphics?
No. GF 101 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 101 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.
