Diamond-Kote H2O Vehicle Wrap

pmi-admin — Mon, 20 May 2013 20:42:22 +0000

Polymeric has developed Diamond-Kote H2O Vehicle Wrap LTX; a two part water-based system designed to protect both screen and digitally printed graphics and colors from sunlight exposure on vehicle graphic applications. This clear contains UV inhibitors effective in preventing pigments from fading. This coating has excellent elongation and is specifically designed for use over corrugated materials and rivets, and is suitable to be used on all vehicle wrap materials. Available in a gloss finish, Diamond-Kote H2O is an excellent alternative to replace costly over-laminates. Diamond-Kote H2O, when overprinted or roll-coated, will endure up to 3 years of direct sun and element exposure without cracking, peeling or chalking. Please note that Polymeric will be unable to warranty the color fade properties of any ink other than Polymeric Diamond-Kote Long Life ink sets. However, historical data collected suggests that Diamond-Kote H2O will extend the color fast properties of any ink it is printed over.

DurCeram DS System

pmi-admin — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 18:07:54 +0000

Polymeric’s DurCeram DS system has been specifically formulated for the ceramic tile decorating market. Unlike many other products, over a period of 5 to 8 years, a light sanding and recoating with Diamond Non-skid Coat may be applied, contributing to its already remarkable durability. This product, in every way, eliminates the need for more expensive sublimation dyes. We have a much broader and better color palette, including special color matching or logo replication.

The DurCeram DS System must be applied in a specific order: The stone surface must be thoroughly washed and coated with Polymeric adhesive bonding polymer, which can be air dried overnight or baked at 185C for 15 – 17 minutes. (baking is recommended, if possible).
By digital or screen application, all further decorating may be accomplished. These go through normal recommended baking cycles until the Diamond Non-skid Coat is applied. It comes in 2 flavors; one is an 80° or greater gloss, the other is a 40° non-skid gloss application.

It is important that all procedures be followed exactly. Recommended for exterior applications. Unlimited applications are at your disposal. Please contact Polymeric Imaging for more information. The photos show the installation of the Minsky’s Pizza Cafe & Bar logo on ceramic tile.
