Industry: Automotive

Press Release Summary: Hexis, the French vinyl film manufacturer, will be present at
both VISCOM sign shows this autumn in Paris and Frankfurt and introduce a line of
cast laminates.

Press Release Body: Vehicle wraps can now achieve a perfectly glare-free effect with
a new matt laminate.
The PC30M2 is a 30µm matt cast laminate designed for use on cast vinyls – both
printed and full colour - destined for applications on complex curved and corrugated
surfaces. In response to the current demand on the vehicle wrap market for matt
paint-like finishes this new laminate is going to enable wide-format digital
printers and installers to follow the trend for matt details and accents and thus
differentiate and widen finishing techniques.

The new glare-free laminate offers a smooth, uniform surface and thus opens new
creative options beyond conventional fleet markings with a true matt finish for
eye-catching graphics. New finishing possibilities and easy viewing (and
photographing) from any angle – outdoors and under artificial lighting conditions.
Installers will benefit from its excellent performance, superior conformability,
convenient application and improved productivity. The thin 30µm laminate will make
installation of digital prints and full colour vinyl both on flat and curved
substrates easier and more efficient.

For ease of use and durability the PC30M2 features a sturdy 145g/m2 release liner
combined with the proven clear acrylic solventbased adhesive with UV-filter ensuring
efficient protection against colour fade and environmental aggressions. The PC30M2
has an outdoor durability of 3 to 5 years depending on the substrate and is
available in rolls 1370mm (54in) wide and 10m, 50m or 200m long.

The new laminate is an addition to Hexis’ successful range of cast vinyl media and
is the ideal complement to the Hex’Press series of digital printing media with
structured adhesives.
Hexis manufactures a full line of graphic vinyl and digital printing media used for
sign making and vehicle markings. The company owns 2 manufacturing sites and exports
40% of its turnover to over 40 countries, while enjoying sales of EUR 34 million in
2007.

The company is based in Frontignan, near Montpellier, France and has subsidiaries in
Germany and in California, USA with affiliate Hexis companies in Italy, the
Netherlands and the UK.
