Good abrasion resistance
Chemical resistant to gasoline,
oils, diesel fuel, and detergent.
RF weldable
Non-yellowing
Fast dry*, low odor
Flexible

ClearFlex ME
D320 is a premium,
extremely durable,
waterborne, clear coating. Containing both
ultraviolet absorbers and
hindered amine light
stabilizers for the maximum in UV light protection.

UV PERFORMANCE

Test results show that a one mil (0.001

inch or 25.4 microns) dry film, when
applied in two applications of 0.5 mils
each, blocks >90% transmission of
ultraviolet light. UV protection extends
the color life of the image.

Technical Data Sheet

APPLICATION DATA
SURFACE PREPARATION
Clean surface thoroughly of foreign
contaminants.
Vinyl: apply one or two coats to provide
1 mil dry film thickness.*+
THINNING:
This is a water soluble product. Thinning
is not recommended as it will reduce the
effectiveness of the product.
APPLICATION METHODS:
Hand Application: Use a 1/4 inch close
nap roller for the best performance on
large surfaces. For small pictorial areas or
digital prints, brushing is better using a 4
inch foam brush or foam paint pad.
Always load the applicator with the
maximum amount of coating as possible and
apply with light pressure. This will prevent
bubbling. Vigorous rolling and high pressure
may produce a frothy surface.
Spray Application: Do not use Wagner or
airless spray equipment. This type of
equipment puts too much material on
the surface. Use conventional air atomization equipment. Fluid tip size should be
0.045 - 0.060 at 30 pounds atomizing
pressure at 9 - 12 cfm.
*Since applications for this product vary tremendously, the user assumes the obligation to test this
product in their specific application to determine
the suitability for reach application and assumes all
risk and liability related to such use.

AUTOMATIC APPLICATION

SAFETY AND HANDLING

For automatic application using the

Seal AquaSeal 1600 or 3200 series
liquid laminator, fill the machines
reservoir 3/4 full and 0-10% water to
reduce.

FLASH POINT: [Setaflash] .............. >200F

Using more water will result in thinner

laminate and less protection. Remember, at 10% reduction with one pass
will give a film not exceeding 1/2 mil.
For full protection use D320 unthinned
and apply two more coats.
UV PERFORMANCE
Test results show that a one mil (0.001
inch/25.4 microns) dry film, when
applied in two applications of 0.5 mil
each, blocks >90% transmission of
ultraviolet light.
