Arlon Calon Cast Vinyl

High Quality 10 Year Cast Vinyl*
ExtraFormable High Performance Film

DURABILITY

Calon® is a “premium” cast film. Standard colours have been weather tested in a variety of rigorous direct exposure locales including Florida, Arizona and California. Custom colour matches are delivered only from “best weathering” pigments and stabilizer systems, incurring very high durability assurance at short development times.

OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE & WARRANTY EXCEPTIONS

Actual weathering durability depends on surface preparation, surface maintenance and exposure conditions. Successful weather resistance is characterised by the retention of legibility.

Calon® film will resist weathering best when applied to vertical or upper outboard angles.

Horizontal angles such as hood, trunk and auto roof surfaces will weather significantly
sooner than vertical and is not recommended. This is due to increased exposure to the sun and moisture as well as continued high deposition of dirt and atmospheric contaminants.

Arlon does not recommend its Calon film for use on stainless steel trailers or latex painted surfaces.
