Graphic Films Quality and Finishing Performance Evaluation

Graphic films are gaining popularity and are broadly used for aesthetic or advertising purposes. This strong demand currently comes from the automotive industry. The common application within the automotive industry includes providing polished surface finishing or using as vehicle graphics.

Heat is often applied during the installation of graphic films, and this can affect the overall uniformity of the film’s appearance. Additionally, the use of cleaning solution and grinding pads during post-installation can affect the film’s surface finishing. Stringent testing, both before and after the installation, is needed to ensure the continued quality and finishing performance of graphic films. Gloss, haze and orange peel are attributes commonly measured when evaluating the quality and finishing performance of graphic films.
