The latest SIGMAGraF hard-coated film, manufactured by MacDermid Autotype, is being used in Australia by GAT Technologies Pty Ltd as part of a major internal refit of roadside truck stops.
SIGMAGraF film offers mechanical and chemical properties that make it resistant to scratches and abrasion, while also being able to withstand cleaning with solvents and other products. The anti-graffiti capabilities of the film also give it the ability to resist pens and paints.
The SIGMAGraF film has enabled GAT Technologies to create a range of high impact display panels and murals for decoration, promotion and signage to be used at roadside truck stops around Australia.
Each refitted facility has been designed to feature the murals, some as large as 10m by 2.5m, on the ceilings, wall and doors of the restrooms, change rooms, and parent rooms.
The murals have been created by both screen and digital printing MacDermid Autotype’s SIGMAGraF film.
The SIGMAGraF film incorporates a robust polyester base protected by a tough hardcoat upper, or outer, surface layer with an inkjet printable underside layer, for reverse printing.
The formulation of the hardcoat layer also allows for high levels of image definition and colour and plays a crucial role in providing anti-glare and optical clarity properties.
George Karabinas of GAT Technologies, said, “The SIGMAGraF films were the ideal solution and met all our requirements for visual quality and durability. Furthermore, they were extremely easy to handle and apply, allowing us to produce the displays quickly and simply, without compromising on the finished result.”
