Faux Stained Glass Cathedral Color Sheets

The base of the coloured film is a self adhesive Mylar™ carrier belonging to the group of polyester films. Mylar™ is the registered trademark of the Dupont Company. The material retains its form and is highly transparent when correctly handled. The colouring medium is fade resistant and has excellent resistance to moisture, solvents, detergents etc. In trials, the coloured surface has been artificially aged in a "Xenon Artifical Ageing Chamber" to test colourfastness. The results were assessed using the "Blauwoll Scale" on a scale of 1 to 8 according to DIN 16525 specifications. (DIN is a list of German industry standards.) All colours achieved the values of 7 to 8 under direct U.V. radiation and simultaneous wet ageing.

The films are, in addition sealed with a surface protector. This additional laminate absorbs up to 90% of natural U.V. radiation, depending on the degree of latitude before the light touches the actual pigmentation. As the same U.V. filter is intergrated into the Mylar™ carrier, the colouring is securely sealed and protected against outer influences. Further advantages of the the surface sealing are the rich "glass like" gloss and reliable protection of the outer colour against scratches or damage from solvents, glass cleaning agents, etc.

NOTE: Every effort is made to ensure good colour reproduction, but due to printing and colour processing limitations, colours/shades may vary slightly. Streaky films are individually produced by adding various colours to the original base colour, therefore due to the manufacturing technique, no two films will be identical.
