Building on the technology of its Oraguard 372 Anti-Graffiti Polyester Overlaminate Film, Orafol has launched a new anti-graffiti film - Oralite 5095 which it says delivers against all three ‘gold standard’ requirements: protection, durability and clarity, claiming the film as now being ‘the first choice anti-graffiti film for leading traffic sign manufacturers in Australia’.
Orafols new Anti Graffii film makes it easier to wipe graffiti off critical traffic and wayfinding signs
With a service life of up to 10 years under vertical outdoor exposure, Oralite 5095 is specifically designed to provide long-term protection against soiling, damage, and wear, whilst still maintaining the signage quality and reflectivity.
The film features an ultra-transparent design ‘to preserves the photometric performance and daylight colours’, meeting or surpassing recognised international standards. It has been tested, when adhered to aluminium, for resistance down to -56°C and up to 90°C, against a shelf life of 2 years.
Oralite 5095 also features a solvent polyacrylate pressure-sensitive adhesive with an adhesive power of 18 N/25 mm (FINAT TM 1), to ensure a secure, long-lasting bond on surfaces such as aluminium, stainless steel and reflective sheeting, including digital and UV digital printed surfaces. The film’s 143 g/m² silicone-coated release liner ensures easy handling and application too.
A technical spokesperson for Orafol says: “We’ve tested the film against oils, fuels, greases, aliphatic solvents, weak acids, salts, alkalis, and seawater and in the harshest conditions, from coastal areas to industrial zones.”
“This is a true Anti-Graffiti product: graffiti and marks can be easily cleaned with soap and a soft sponge or brush or, for tougher inks or paints, with a professional graffiti remover like the Oralite 5095REM. The film resists cleaning agents, so graffiti can be removed without damaging the film or underlying sign. Unlike some of the other imitation films on the market, Oralite 5095 also ensures your reflective signs remain pristine, vibrant, and fully functional, even in high-traffic or challenging environments.”
