Ariva5 Mil Glassmate® White Ultra Removablepowered by MGX

ArivaGlassMate is an ultra low-tack removable/repositionabledecal film intended for use indoors or outdoors, primarily onglass or other very smooth, glossy surfaces. The proprietarysurface system used allows a decal, when applied properly toa clean glass surface, to remain in place indefinitely in mostinterior applications, and then be removed easily and withoutany adhesive residue. The PVC facestock is formulated with ablend of plasticizers designed to enhance printability and toextend the shelf life of the product.

ArivaGlassMate decal film utilizes a special removable adhe-sive system, blended with components which control the levelof adhesion that the decal film is capable of achieving. This isin contrast to other removable emulsion or solvent basedadhesive systems, which can become permanent if a decal isleft in place too long. These other adhesive systems tend toallow the adhesive bond to continue to build over time. This notonly makes the removal of a decal more difficult but it oftenleads to the additional task of removing adhesive residue.These problems should not occur with Ariva GlassMate decalfilm because the adhesive remains removable indefinitely.

Applications:• Removable/repositionable decal film intended for useboth interior and exterior windows.

Other Attributes:• 5 year interior and 1-year exterior life when appliedproperly.
