Anti-Graffiti Lamination

[KingsofWraps]

This is a first time someone has requested this for me. I need to wrap some kiosk's for a mall and they are asking for an anti-graffiti lamination?
Is there a such thing? I heard any lam pretty much works for this and it can be wiped off, Guys??? :signs101:

You should use tedlar which is what anti-graffiti film is, I have 38"x150' for $450 and 54"x150' for $600 if you need a source for it ok.

How aggresive is this stuff? I need a temporary lamination that would be removed every 6 or 12 months...I have to wrap some kiosks that are about 10 ft high by 3.5 ft wide (4 sides) some of the kiosk is painted and other parts are wrapped with advertisements. I will have to replace these advertisements every 6 or 12 months so my main concern is to ensure that the laminate will not tear off the paint and also remove graffiti if it is applied onto it.

The best way to remove anything with adhesive will be to just use a heat gun, I have removed just about every type of adhesive off just about anything you can imagine by using a heat gun its crazy how handy that tool is.

I am aware of that but it's a huge project for the city...I'm really worried about affecting the paint of these kiosk's...it's a multi-million dollar project funded by the government...

I have no idea what it is called because I don't work in that side of the business, but I was at a sign shop that printed a lot of product and he pulled out a piece of printed vinyl that had spray paint all over it. He took a rag and wiped it all right off. I don't remember if he had anything on the rag or not. It wiped clean though, so I know there's something out there.

He told me it was new and it was an anti-graffiti product.

I understand but there really isnt any way around it, if they want anti graf. they must use adhesive tedlar. The adhesive should set within 48 hours maybe you can put a small piece on and see what you think.

Maybe if you laminated a banner with tedlar then had some way of securing that banner to the kiosks then you wouldnt have to worry about paint coming off. Or something along that concept.

Use a removable adheasive/vinyl with 3M Tedlar lam.

Ask 3M if it works!

How are you getting the wrap material off now. If the old wrap is not taking the paint off I doubt that the tedlar will.

is tedlar a cast laminate?

here is the sample...

Yeah looks like it wont be a problem to do this, they just want to make an exsisting kiosk graffitti resistant or are you printing out the whole graphic for them?

The better (and cheaper) solution is that the cabinet have anti-graffiti paint applied where they were first manufactured and originally painted or post-applied by the political subdivision's work crew. Then all the graphic guy has to do is apply anti-graffiti lam to their print.

The original post it isn't clear whether they want to wrap the whole thing with AG or just the print. Seems like the units should already have the AG protection applied. If they had federal funding then that most likely would have been part of the specs. Just a guess.
