Digital Snow plow material

Member for quite some time.
Anyone know of an agressive adhesive digital vinyl and laminate that would hold up for a while on the front of a snow plow?

Never done it, but I would use Arlon DPF 8000 or CONVEX vinyl for very high tack adhesion, coupled with a polycarb (lexan) laminate, as thick as you can get.

...and no warrenties obviously.

Thanks Malkin, I use arlon 8000 for industrial propane tank labels and was thinking that might work. Where would I get the lexan lam?

Fellers or most any place that has a good selection of specialty materials, it's pricey though. I don't use much so I usually get a 12" roll from Hyatts intended for use over EDGE graphics.

There is nothing that snow, ice, sand, and gravel won't eat up on the face of a plow. You're not just pussing white fluffy snow.

WHY? so you can read the blade and run into it??? most peole who have these, spray them with diesel fuel befor they go out to plow. this keeps the snow frm sticking to the blade. to apply a vinyl to that.you gona spend a lot of time cleaning it.
