Tough as Nails ®
Appearance: Tough As Nails® print protector is a clear, matte coating that is invisible! It has no sheen, and therefore does not affect the color, light refraction, pattern or texture of your vinyl wallcovering.
Formulation: Tough As Nails® print protector is composed of vinyl resin suspended in a water-based formula that is applied to the surface of the vinyl and then heat cured. The resulting "sandwich" - vinyl on the top and bottom surfaces with the print color between them - creates a superior product that is more stain resistant and more cleanable than regular vinyl wallcovering. Tough As Nails® print protector will not delaminate or yellow with age.
Green Characteristics: Tough As Nails® print protector is safe and environmentally friendly because it is water-based. Additionally, it is odorless and does not produce noxious emissions like solvent-based products
Price: Tough As Nails® print protector will revolutionize hospitality wallcovering specifications with the industry's most costconscious pricing. Tough As Nails® print protector will easily fit into your budget for commercial wallcovering, and provide a surprisingly affordable way to reduce long-term maintenance costs. Contact your U.S. Vinyl representative for details.
