5 Mil Water-Resistant Self-Adhesive Vinyl is a 5-mil solvent acrylic adhesive-backed vinyl with a white point that enables bright, colorful photos to be printed on a durable, weather-resistant surface. The matte, ink receptive layer provides exceptional resistance to water and scratching. Graphics printed on this material will last up to 8 months outdoors without lamination and up to two years outdoors when laminated. The strong, permanent solvent-based adhesive sticks to most popular sign substrates and removes cleanly for up to 90 days.
