Liquid Coatings

Clearcoatings / Liquid Laminates

Clear coatings, also called liquid laminates, are an inexpensive way to protect billboards, prints, fine art, signs, banners, awnings and other products. Liquid laminates are cost-effective, easy to apply, and do not require extensive equipment. The cost ranges from 3-20 cents per square foot.

Marabu liquid laminates feature the most current innovations in ultraviolet light absorbers and light stabilizers that offer protection for many products. Use liquid laminates for:

  • digital inkjet output
  • printed and airbrushed products
  • traditional signage and graphic art applications

Our clear coatings, ClearShield®, ClearJet®, and Marashield, are premium grade, high-performance products. We created them specially to:

  • protect inks from ultraviolet exposure
  • protect inks from abrasion and marring
  • provide resistance to chemicals and water

 

ClearShield laminates can be used with all types of vehicle and fleet graphics. It can be used over pressure sensitive cast and calendared materials, heavy tarpaulins and flex vinyl. The product provides excellent UV resistance as well as abrasion and chemical resistance yet it is flexible enough to go over any rivet or bend you may encounter while installing the graphic.

Benefits for your business:

  • Lower material costs: Liquid Coatings are considerably less expensive than laminating films, depending on material and application
  • Lower process costs: Liquid Coating by means of roller coating eliminates the need for time-intensive post-print cutting
  • Purpose-designed: Products specifically designed for each application instead of allpurpose coatings of unspectacular quality
  • Consistent quality: Machine application for industrial and reproducible quality - on rigid and flexible substrates
  • Suitable for outdoor use: With a high-grade sandwich combination of film, ink, and coating
  • First-class results: Whether glossy or matte, our coatings provide complete and even coverage without "orange peel effect"

ClearShield Anti-Graffiti

ClearShield Anti-Graffiti is the perfect coating for applications in areas where there is a high risk of vandalism from graffiti. ClearShield Anti-Graffiti may be cleaned with a range of solvents including our citrus-based graffiti remover. Our remover allows a quick, environmentally friendly removal of graffiti.

ClearShield CSX 5000

ClearShield CSX5000 is the newest generation ClearShield product. Utilizing the latest polymer technology, this self cross-linking product is an exceptional, high-performance, water-based clear liquid laminate. It exhibits excellent chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and long term UV protection.

ClearJet Fine Art

ClearJet® is clear coating for dye-based inks and water-sensitive ink/media combinations

Use ClearJet® on most substrates, including canvas, vinyl (enamel receptive and non-enamel receptive), banners, fiberglass, wood, metal, plastic, and paper. 

ClearJet Original

ClearJet® is clear coating for dye-based inks and water-sensitive ink/media combinations.

ClearShield Original

ClearShield® is clear liquid laminate for non-water-sensitive ink/media combinations

ClearShield® is your first choice for all non-water-sensitive applications. We created ClearShield® using state-of-the-art resins and ultraviolet inhibitors that protect the substrate, ink, and the clear coating itself. These non-yellowing clear coatings have excellent exterior durability and are highly flexible.

ClearShield Type C

Water resistant canvas applications (highly flexible). Also suitable for micro porous ink jet receptive substrates to help reduce or eliminate pinholes.

Marashield UV-CBG

UV-CBG is suitable for roller-coating digital prints on cardboard materials. These applications include e.g. displays, a variety of interior design objects made of Reboard® materials, and printed packaging.

Marashield UV-FXG / FXM

UV-FXG and UV-FXM are suitable for roller-coating onto digital prints on flexible materials such as self-adhesive PVC foils and tarpaulin materials (plasticised PVC).

Marashield UV-PGL

UV inkjet inks often fail to adhere properly to challenging substrates, such as glass. Sufficient adhesion is provided by roller-coating the glass panes edge-to-edge with primer UV-PGL.

Marashield UV-RG / RM

UV-RG and UV-RM are suitable for roller-coating onto digital prints on rigid materials such as various plastics, wood, aluminium composite panels (Dibond®), and cardboard and corrugated board material.
