ClearShield provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional film laminate while delivering strong UV protection, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and flexibility.

Why Choose Liquid Lamination?
Traditional pressure-sensitive film laminate requires laminate rolls, equipment and additional material handling.
ClearShield provides another option by applying a clear protective coating directly over compatible printed graphics. This can be especially useful for high-volume shops, specialty applications and graphics where liquid coating makes more economic or production sense than film laminate.
Marabu reports that its ClearShield water-based coatings can provide protection comparable to film laminates while reducing production costs by as much as 60%.
UV & Outdoor Protection
ClearShield uses advanced UV inhibitors and HALS — hindered amine light stabilizers — to help protect printed graphics from UV exposure.
Actual long-term UV stability depends on several factors, including:
-
Coating thickness
-
Ink system
-
Substrate
-
Application method
-
Environmental exposure
Always test the complete ink, media and coating combination before production use.
