HEXIS announces new printable polymeric PVC film with TAKE HEAT EASY technology

HEXIS Group has announced the launch of THE200EVO, a premium printable polymeric PVC film with TAKE HEAT EASY technology, which is a combination of a solvent based adhesive and a micro-structured liner developed by the group’s R&D team. This innovation has been specially designed to reduce the initial tack and immediate adhesion, making the installation of the vinyl more convenient with an optimal adhesive bonding process.

In 2018 HEXIS combined this technology for the first time with a THE190EVO cast PVC film. In view of its success, it made sense to now use it on a high-end polymeric PVC film.

Ease of repositioning, print quality and optimal durability are all assets that will allow HEXIS customers to express their creativity with unlimited possibilities and installers to use it conveniently on flat or slightly curved surfaces, for 2D wrapping projects (buses, lorries, fleet vehicles etc.) and large-format signage.

 “With its excellent sliding properties on the substrate, THE200EVO is an ideal solution, especially when an installer needs to quickly and accurately position two printed widths. It is amazingly easy to find the perfect alignment for a design,” says Thibault Veuillet, Business Development Manager Automotive.

V850B, a new polymeric laminate, with a thickness of 50 µm, has been specially designed for THE200EVO and is now being launched by HEXIS laminate.

“Combined with the printable THE200EVO film, our customers will be able to obtain and appreciate a particularly flexible complex,” says Ian Parsonson, Managing Director, HEXIS Australia.

“Our research laboratory and our industrial team have combined their respective strengths and skills to complete the design and manufacturing process of these two new products in the most successful way,” Caroline MATEU, Chairman of the Board of Directors at HEXIS, says proudly.

“Despite the current health issues this year, HEXIS continues its race for technological innovation with the launch of the new self-healing X technology for our vehicle body protection films (BODYFENCEX) and the antimicrobial PURE ZONE technology for surface protection,” she adds.
