Calendared Laminate that won't turn Brown like Oraguard 210

[Graphics2u]

I'm looking for a little help on laminates. I use tons of Oraguard 210 but it's almost all on indoor signage. I got burned on using the 210 outdoors many years ago because it will discolor and turn brown eventually. I'm wondering if anyone has had good success with a calendared laminate for outdoor use that won't turn brown and burnt looking after a few years in the sun? These are for vinyl decals that go on PVC posts that mak the location of underground waterlines out in the country. I could go with Cast laminate, but the money isnt in the job for that. I just know what's happened in my experience with Oraguard 210 And I don't really want that happening.

Thanks for any suggestions you have.

you need to find / use NON-PVC Overlaminates
Look into 3M™ Envision 8048G/8050M

210 SUCK for outdoor applications, been there been burnt brown and lost customers because of it.

Actually I’d go down from there to the 3M 8508-8510 laminate. I’d also check out Arlon’s cal overlam. 210 is cheap vs inexpensive. You’ll have to adjust your price point a bit.

Thanks 2B and Aaron Hunter for your input. Have either of you used the Oraguard 215? I haven't, so I don't know if it's any better in regard to the discoloring.

215 lasts forever, it's a great laminate

Laminates and other materials are just like everything else in life.
If you want quality materials that last you must pay for them.

Oraguard 290 or Briteline Wrapcast

Agreed. 215 is not cheap relative to other calendared options but is well worth the added cost.

If you want it done right use cast vinyl and overlaminate.
