DPF 4600LX
High Performance Multi-Purpose Film With Low Profile X?Scape Technology®
DPF 4600LX is constructed of a 3.2-mil (80 micron) white gloss high-performance film with a tinted, clean removing, repositionable adhesive system. The repositionable light gray adhesive allows for easy installation while ensuring enough opacity for covering up existing graphics or dark substrates. The new LX (Low Profile) X-Scape Technology® provides installers the benefit of a bubble-free installation combined with a smooth printed surface that doesn’t show the pattern through the print. DPF 4600LX works great for vehicle graphics and wraps. DPF 4600LX is rated for outdoor durability up to 7 years (unprinted). Printed durability is dependent on the ink system used.

Use & Application
DPF 4600LX will resist weathering best when applied to vertical or upper outboard angles. Horizontal angles, such as hood and auto roof surfaces, will deteriorate more quickly than vertical. This is due to increased exposure to sun and moisture, as well as high deposition of dirt and atmospheric contaminants. Actual horizontal weathering will be dependent on maintenance, location and elemental exposure. Use heat and/or chemical when removing image from vehicle (see Installer Handbook for details).

DPF 4600LX is designed to be used for vehicle graphics and wraps with flat or simple curves. When wrapping curves and channels with DPF 46000LX, it is recommended the product be draped and not stretched into areas with channels.

Glossary Of Application Terms
Simple Curves: Defined as a slight stretch to the film in one direction (example: the side vehicle).

Complex Curves: Defined as extensive stretching (with or without heat) of material in multiple directions (example: bumpers).

Deep Channel: Channels in excess of a quarter inch in depth that require a “bridge and stretch” method for application.
