FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release)Feb 22, 2008 – MacDermid Autotype, one of the world’s leading developers and manufacturers of precision coated films, has launched a hard coated polyester film specially developed for demanding in-store applications. The new film, called SIGMAGraF Shield AM, combines Microban® antimicrobial technology with industrial-strength protection against solvents and cleaning chemicals. In addition, SIGMAGraF Shield AM can provide impact and abrasion resistance above ordinary laminates, ensuring that all surfaces and signage remain protected for both consumers and staff at all times.

The new film is a heat-stabilised polyester consisting of a UV-cured hard coating on the first surface and a pressure sensitive, acrylic adhesive on the second surface. SIGMAGraF AM Shield can be combined with cladding vinyl and graphics for protection on walls, doors, counters and even equipment in hygiene-critical areas. Microban® technology is incorporated into the film’s textured hard-coat during manufacturing; this ensures even distribution of the antimicrobial agent throughout its surface preventing the agent from washing or wearing away. Microban® technology effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria, mould and mildew that can present health and safety risks in retail environments.

Besides its intrinsic microbial resistance, SIGMAGraF Shield AM has excellent optical and antiglare properties because of the non-filled, microfine texture. Its unique combination of features makes the film ideal for a diverse range of in-store applications and helps retailers meet their 'duty of care' needs.
