Very good chemical resistance, high UV resistance, high gloss in combination with very good values of short wave and superior scratch resistance are said to be the technical advantages of the paintfilm for this application.

Gravelometer laboratory tests and field tests are said to show that paintfilm is much more chip resistant and weather resistant than paint. In addition to offering greater durability, Fluorex paintfilm is also said to be driving major manufacturing cost savings. Fluorex paintfilm is compatible with extrusion, thermoforming, injection molding injection molding
n.
A manufacturing process for forming objects, as of plastic or metal, by heating the molding material to a fluid state and injecting it into a mold.
 and compression molding Compression molding is a method of molding in which the molding material, generally preheated, is first placed in an open, heated mold cavity. The mold is closed with a top force or plug member, pressure is applied to force the material into contact with all mold areas, and heat , enabling multiple parts to be processed with one film.

Fluorex paintfilm is said to be an environmentally sound, sustainable technology. Paintfilms are thermoplastic A polymer material that turns to liquid when heated and becomes solid when cooled. There are more than 40 types of thermoplastics, including acrylic, polypropylene, polycarbonate and polyethylene.  and recyclable, so any scrap can be reground into the resin stream.
