Have fun with vinyl graphics – stick and remove it easily
Vinyl graphics are a great way to
advertise, especially on
vehicles or any smooth surface.
But, when it comes to replacing
a vinyl graphic, the task seems
enormous. Now think about a
product, which you can just
spray on the vinyl graphic
and lo and behold, when
you peel it off, both the graphic
and the adhesive comes out in
one go itself. Yes! It’s true with
spray-on liquid vinyl remover
like Vinyl-off 10-4.
Perhaps one of the most
interesting application of
vinyl graphics is the vehicle
graphics, which give a unique look
to any vehicle and serve as an
effective advertising tool,
24 hours a days, whether the
vehicle is on move or it is parked
in a parking lot. Last week, I
happened to see a car wrapped
in an attractive graphic from a
distance but when it came near,
the graphic did not look smooth
and I could actually see traces of
the previous graphic. Perhaps the
sign-maker could not remove the
vinyl properly and hence the
quality of the new graphic
suffered. Hence, to ensure that
the new graphic looks its gleaming
best, vinyl should be properly
removed before installation.
All those who are related to
vinyl graphics business would
agree that removing vinyl
graphics is not easy. It is a real
tedious job in getting it fully
scrapped off. Care has to be
taken that the surface is not
damaged and in case of vehicles,
the paint is not damaged. Very
often, even if the vinyl is
carefully removed, the adhesive
remains sticking to the surface.
For new vinyl installation, the
surface should be smooth and
clean, without any traces of old
vinyl and adhesive.
A number of ways are employed
to remove vinyl after its earlier
function is over or one needs to
have a new one. Some signmakers
heat and steam the vinyl
while some use hand-tools to
remove them. Several chemical
processes are also used for vinyl
removal. But, all these processes
are time-consuming and
sometimes damage the surface if
not used carefully.
More recently, we happened to
notice a new product named
Vinyl-off 10-4 liquid vinyl
remover. This spray-on vinyl
remover is biodegradable and
water-soluble, besides being
environment-friendly and safe.
Just spray it and let it penetrate
into the graphic for 10-15
minutes and then peel it off and
see the vinyl and adhesive coming
out, without causing any damage
to the surface. You don’t need to
scrap off the vinyl and it all
happens just in a matter of
minutes! The product seems to
bring a revolution in the area of
vinyl graphic removal, thereby
improving productivity and
saving a lot of cost as well.
So, all who wish to experiment
with vinyl graphics but are afraid
to install it, thinking about the
tedious job to remove it at their
will, can now actually have fun
with these.
