The PermaGard Shield overlaminating film PGS6400 is a high-performance pressure sensitive adhesive overlaminating film engineered to inhibit growth of microbes and protect against abrasion, moisture and fading.

PermaGard Shield PGS6400 consists of a 3.75-mil clear polypropylene film with a textured gloss finish that helps to eliminate glare and provides a very unique and pleasing viewing surface with a permanent adhesive system. This product is recommended as a short term (up to one year), low traffic area overlaminate for indoor floor graphic applications. A 1.2 mil clear PET release liner protects the adhesive.

The film can be applied to surfaces to inhibit growth of microbes, which can cause odors and stains. Shield continuously kills microbial contaminants and resists microbe growth on the surface of the film providing the film with built-in protection without releasing toxic substances into the environment. *

Shield has an antimicrobial agent (biocide) Zinc that suppresses the growth of bacteria and fungus on the laminate surface. The permanent adhesive’s UV inhibitors help prevent color fade caused by ultraviolet (UV) light exposure. The easily removed Clear Glassine liner protects the adhesive. Shield provides a uniform, matte surface that protects the image from abrasion, moisture and other potentially damaging effects.
