Polar Grip Air is a specialised self-adhesive polymeric vinyl designed specifically for application onto challenging, low surface energy substrates. The film incorporates a high-tack, permanent solvent-based adhesive formulation that creates a strong chemical bond with hard-to-stick surfaces like polypropylene, polyethylene, textured plastic, and powder-coated metal fixtures.
The inclusion of air-release channel technology within the aggressive adhesive allows trapped air to be evacuated easily during squeegee application. This feature ensures smooth, bubble-free graphic results on rough or uneven application surfaces while speeding up overall installation workflow. The 80-micron flexible film provides structural stability and tear resistance during challenging graphic application processes.
Suitable applications include industrial machinery labeling, trash bin graphics, wall murals on smooth masonry, equipment decals, and low-energy plastic container wraps. The film accepts solvent, eco-solvent, latex, and UV digital printing, producing sharp detail resolution, vibrant color definition, and consistent colour density.
The durable vinyl film withstands harsh indoor and outdoor environmental exposure, including chemical splatters, moisture, and extreme outdoor temperature variations. For maximum surface protection, the printed graphic can be laminated with a matching protective film to shield against mechanical abrasion, scuffing, and UV degradation. Proper surface preparation with isopropyl alcohol is recommended prior to graphic application to maximize adhesive bond strength.
