Product Description
Arlon Series 3350 is a 2-mil (50 micron) PVDF fluoropolymer overlaminate with a clear, permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive — engineered as a true anti-graffiti protective film. Paint, markers, and tags wipe clean with isopropyl alcohol or acetone without damaging the graphic underneath. Rated for an industry-leading 10 years outdoor durability on vertical surfaces.
The Specialist Overlaminate for Graffiti-Prone Installations
Series 3350 is unlike every other overlaminate in Arlon's line. Where the 3510, 3420, and 3170 are vinyl films built for conformability, Series 3350 is a 2-mil PVDF fluoropolymer engineered for chemical resistance and the longest outdoor durability in the catalog. Solvent-based markers, spray paint, and marker tags sit on the surface rather than bonding to it — and can be removed with isopropyl alcohol or acetone without harming the printed graphic below.
That makes 3350 the overlaminate of choice for transit signage, municipal infrastructure, safety signs and nameplates, utility markings, airports, schools, and permanent wayfinding — anywhere graphics are exposed to tagging and routine cleaning is part of the maintenance plan.
Key Features
- True anti-graffiti performance — removes spray paint, permanent marker, and ink with isopropyl alcohol or acetone
- 10-year outdoor durability on vertical exposure — the longest in Arlon's overlaminate lineup
- PVDF fluoropolymer facestock with enhanced UV inhibitors for superior weathering
- Extreme service temperature range: -40°F to 225°F (-40°C to 107°C)
- Chemical resistance — withstands routine cleaning with harsh solvents that would destroy vinyl laminates
- 2-year shelf life from factory shipment
- Compatible inks: Solvent, Eco-Solvent, Latex, and UV
- Cold lamination — no heat needed
- Overlaminates most DPF and screenprint films
Cleaning & Graffiti Removal
Series 3350's fluoropolymer surface resists harsh solvents that would destroy a vinyl overlaminate, allowing aggressive cleaning when needed:
| Cleaning Agent | General Cleaning | Graffiti Removal |
|---|---|---|
| Soap & water | ✓ | |
| Over-the-counter cleaners (Simple Green, etc.) | ✓ | |
| 90% Isopropyl alcohol, Acetone | ✓ |
Best practice: start with low-pressure warm soapy water or a bristle brush with Simple Green for general grime. For paint and marker tags, use isopropyl alcohol or acetone followed by a fresh-water rinse. Avoid harsh solvents or caustic cleaners not listed above — they can leave surface defects when dry.
Ideal Applications
Transit & Municipal
Railway cars, buses, transit stations, municipal signage, public infrastructure — any high-exposure surface where tagging is a recurring maintenance issue.
Safety Signs & Nameplates
Long-term safety signage, regulatory signs, equipment nameplates, utility markings, and hazard labels that need to stay legible for years.
Fleet & Industrial Equipment
Flat-surface fleet graphics, farm and construction equipment markings, automotive striping, and model identification on rigid surfaces.
Boats, RVs & Recreational
Decoration and branding for boats, recreational vehicles, and buses — where long outdoor exposure and UV resistance are critical.
Long-Term Exterior Signage
Permanent wayfinding, kiosks, POP displays, and building signage rated for 10 years of vertical outdoor service.
DPF & Screenprint Protection
Compatible as a protective overlaminate for most Arlon DPF print media and screenprint films on flat or simple-curved rigid surfaces.
