Proprietary Technologies
ORAFOL’s RapidAir ® Technology is a specially formulated air-egress pattern built in to the release liner. This advanced air-release technology facilitates a quicker, easier bubble free application.
Films featuring ORAFOL’s exclusive CommandForm ® Technology are engineered to be highly conformable, repositionable and removable with no adhesive residue for up to four years after installation.
Cast vs. Calendered Cast Vinyl Cast vinyl is a thin and flexible material that is conformable, making it ideal for graphics that are applied to a non-flat surface. This film type is a premium vinyl with longer durability.
Calendered Vinyl Calendered vinyl is thicker and generally intended for a flat surface only. This film type is not designed to easily conform to a non-flat surface and is known to “shrink” more. When used incorrectly or in an unintended manner, like appyling to a non-flat surface, vinyl (edge) lift is likely to occur. ORAJET® 3165RA with ORAGUARD® 210 Photo courtesy of MotoGFX

Wet Applications Using a wet application technique allows large graphics to slide into place without prematurely sticking to the substrate. This can be especially useful when applying graphics to glass surfaces. However, please note that this application method can be used with solvent-based adhesive products only.
New to the idea of wet installs? Here’s how it’s done: 1. Mix your solution. a. Fill spray bottle with 12 oz. of water b. Add 1 drop of basic dish soap or baby soap (traditional formula) c. Add 1 cap of isopropyl alcohol d. Shake well
2. Spray the entire surface of the substrate. 3. Spray the adhesive side of the vinyl being applied. 4. Apply your graphic. If you feel it catch while repositioning, just spray more application fluid to the vinyl substrate. 5. Squeegee or roller out all the excess water trapped between the vinyl and substrate. 6. Allow the graphic to dry before trimming, removing transfer tape, or installing. Additional dry time may be necessary for installations in temperatures below 50° F. It is not recommended to use a Wet Application technique for applying ORALITE® or RapidAir® products. Engineered to Perform Better™ www.orafolamericas.com 23

Solvent-based vs. Water-based Adhesives Water-Based Adhesive
Solvent-Based Adhesive
Products with a water-based adhesive, such as ORAJET ® 3640, typically are a low-cost solution for either indoor or short-term outdoor graphic applications. Common applications include decorative wall graphics, indoor wall murals and short-term way finding signage.
Solvent-based adhesive products, like ORAJET ® 3651, are designed for more demanding and longer term applications. The components of this adhesive are combined using solvents, thus allowing a structurally stronger adhesive that is more resistant to chemicals, cleaning agents and wider temperature ranges.
To avoid adhesive bonding issues with the substrate, do not use wet application methods or low temperature applications.
Another important attribute is the ability to wet apply graphics without worry of adhesive bonding issues.

The Magic of Window Perf ORAJET ® 3675 (50/50) and ORAJET ® 3676 (60/40) are two of the longest lasting perforated window films on the market, when laminated with ORAGUARD ® 297GF Optically Clear over-laminate. ORAGUARD ® 297GF is a thicker over-lamiante, 2.75-mil, specifically designed for window perf applications. Series 297GF is less prone to collapsing into the perforated holes, which decreases the chance of material punctures or the collection of dirt and moisture. That means better visibility for you! Perforated window graphics are perfect for businesses that require more branded store front communication, but are limited by signage ordinances. Window graphics are typically not included in local signage ordinances.

Photoluminescent film ORAJET ® 3930 Photoluminescent, or glow-in-the-dark, film can be used for many different applications including: • Indoor safety and regulatory signage in hospitals, office buildings, schools, movie theaters, railroad engines, etc. • Creative graphic applications in bowling alleys, arcades, and laser tag venues. So, how does it work? The material needs to be charged by a light source for approximately 30-60 minutes.
Glow time varies depending on the amount of charge received from a light source. The material will glow for approximately 6-8 hours before needing to be recharged by a light source. The amount of glow will typically dim and extinguish during this 6-8 hour period. Special Consideration: Only the non-printed or lightly printed areas of the ORAJET ® 3930 Photoluminescent film will glow. This material can be Solvent, EcoSolvent, Latex, and UV Printed. Match this material with ORAGUARD ® 293 for added graphic protection.
The material will appear to glow brightest in pitch black room conditions.

PROCESSING & HANDLING
The Results you Want, plus the Support you Need.
Splice Free Guarantee
Lamination
ORAFOL’s digital printing materials are manufactured in the industry’s most advanced computer-controlled facilities, assuring you of consistent, splice-free quality from roll-to-roll.
Lamination of inkjet prints is recommended to ensure longer lifespan at optimum quality (gloss, color, resistance to physical damage). ORAGUARD® laminate films enhance the desired appearance of the graphic (gloss, matte, semi-gloss). They also provide excellent protection against fading from exposure to UV rays. To avoid delamination, edge curling, and adhesive failure, allow solvent printed graphics to outgas for at least 24 hours at 70°F (48-72 hours), before trimming or applying a laminate.
Storage and Handling The self-adhesive products, ORACAL®, ORAJET ®, ORAGUARD®, ORABOND™, ORALITE®, and ORALUX® are supplied in rolls and should, at all times, be stored suspended or standing on end with provided roll blocks. NEVER store material lying on it’s side. Materials should be kept in a cool dry place. For optimal product performance, relative air humidity should be between 50% and 60% and temperature between 64°F and 72°F. Avoid storing material in direct sunlight, or near excessive heat (i.e. radiators). Please observe the shelf life instructions contained in the technical data sheet available for each film at www.orafolamericas.com.
Instructions for Printing Digitally printed materials should be handled with the utmost care. To prevent surface damage use lint-free gloves. Before printing, check the surface quality of the film to remove obvious film damage, dirt, grime, lint, etc. For best results, use the correct ICC profile based on your specific combination of media, ink, printer and RIP software. For FREE color profiles, visit the Support section of the ORAFOL Americas website. ***Don’t forget to match the digital media with the recommended laminate.
