In addition to increasing flexibility, plasticizers can significantly improve the ability of vinyl compounds to resist heat and UV light degradation. Because the weatherability of vinyls can vary greatly according to the type and quality of plasticizer utilized, and since plasticizers offering higher performance are generally higher in price, RENOLIT offers a choice of three plasticized vinyl films to match your application:

• Monomeric plasticizer films for indoor and short-term outdoor applications
• Blended plasticizer films for general outdoor applications
• Polymeric plasticizer films for demanding outdoor applications including items requiring solvent resistance

Pigment selection is also determined by the end-use application.

Indoor and Short-Term Outdoor Applications
Monomeric plasticized vinyl films for indoor and short-term applications include labelstock and sheet markets, plotter (computer-cut) graphics (e.g. exhibition booth displays) and some digital printing. Available in a wide range of colors, these films are offered in high gloss and matte surface finishes, gauges from 2.8 to 6 mil, and widths from 40 to 72 inches. All are custom made and not available from inventory.

General Outdoor Applications
RENOLIT vinyls for adhesive-coating that incorporate blended (polymeric and monomeric) plasticizer systems are suitable for general outdoor applications. They are available in a wide range of colors and surface finishes including high gloss, semi-gloss and low gloss, in gauges from 2.8 to 6 mil, and widths from 40 to 72 inches. All are custom made and not available from inventory.

Demanding outdoor applications including products requiring solvent resistance
Polymeric plasticized vinyl films for adhesive-coating are suitable for demanding outdoor applications. Available in a wide range of colors, these films are offered in high gloss and matte surface finishes, gauges from 2.4 to 6 mil, and widths from 40 to 72 inches. All are custom made and not available from inventory.
