LexJet Elite Textured Coex Laminate 15 Mil with PreLume® technology is a thick, rigid co-polymer laminating film for the production of trade-show graphics that can be hung with magnets directly to a metal frame of a booth. This film is easier-to-trim and handle than polycarbonate or Lexan, which is particularly important when laminating and hanging booth graphics that are 60-in. wide.
When applied to graphics output on a printable white film, such as LexJet’s White DuPont Melinex Polyester Film, the finished graphics will instantly look brighter and whiter. That’s because the PreLume® optical reflection technology offsets yellow and gray color shifts that can occur in printable papers and films.
Instead of tweaking printer settings or color profiles and reprinting the graphics, simply apply this film and the colors in your graphics will immediately look brighter and truer to the original design. Plus, PreLume helps extend the life of the printed graphic by keeping it from yellowing over time.
The 2-mil, high-performance acrylic adhesive on LexJet Elite Textured Coex Laminate 15 Mil helps ensure that the laminating film maintains a strong, permanent bond to the graphic.
LexJet Elite Textured Coex Laminate 15 Mil was previously known as LexJet 15 Mil PreLume® DisplayFlex®.

| Release Liner | 3 mil clear oriented polyester |
| Peel Adhesion | (Test method PSTC-1): 24 hour dwell 44 oz./in |
| Tensile Strength | (ASTM D-882): 7000 psi |
| Shear Strength | PSTC 7, 1 sq. in.,: 350+ hours no failure |
| Elongation | (ASTM D-882): 170% |
| UVA Light Protection | Yes, Not recommended for long term outdoor use. |
| Inkjet Media Preparation | Printer manufacturers recommend that you allow your print to dry for a minimum of 24 hours before lamination. In areas with high humidity dry times can be longer. |
| Laminator Compatibility | It's recommended that your laminator be equipped with a release liner take-up reel. All LexJet laminates are provided on 3" standard cores. |
| Laminator Settings | Apply 80-100 psi and use 2-3 feet per minute for dwell time. Between 90° to 120° F heat is recommended, but heat is not required. The top and bottom web tension should be minimal. |
| Using a Sled | It is strongly recommended that you use a rigid sled (1/8" or thicker) such as polycarbonate, acrylic, masonite or aluminum. This will ensure consistent pressure across the web. Apply a release liner to your sled to prevent adhesive build-up. Use strong tape, such as packaging tape, to attach the entire width of the leading edge of the graphic to the sled. |
| Adhesive Cure Time | After applying the laminate, allow curing for a minimum of 2 hours before cutting or trimming. Maximum bond strength is reached in 24 hours. |
| Floor Graphics Slip Rating | Test Method: ASTM D 1894; .40 Kinetic |
| Min. Application Temp. | 50° F (10° C) |
| Ideal Storage Conditions | 70° F (21° C), 50% R.H. (a controlled environment is recommended); store vertically in original packaging. |
| Shelf Life | 1 year from the LexJet ship date when stored in proper conditions. |
| Tip | If you are experiencing curl when applying this backer and the tension on your pull rollers is minimal, reduce the heat, reduce the pressure and reduce the speed of your take-up reel. |
| Tip | It is not recommended that you pre-coat any paper-faced products, such as Gator Board or Foam Core, with an adhesive that has a plastic carrier. The absorptive nature of paper products can cause the board to contract and expand with temperature and humidity fluctuations causing the release liner to tunnel. The slip aid, which is often found on PVC materials, should be removed with a suitable detergent. All substrates should be tested for your specific application prior to final job production. |
| Tip | If you are experiencing curl when applying this backer to LexJet and the tension on your pull rollers is minimal; reduce the heat, reduce the pressure and reduce the speed of your take-up reel |
