Nikkalite Dewtect Dew Resistant Sheeting
First, Sean demonstrated the effects of Nikkalite Dewtect Dew Resistant Sheeting. Dewtect consists of a standard overlaminate coated with a specially formulated hydrophilic layer. This layer is receptive to water droplets such that in dew conditions or in rain, the droplets spread out over the surface of the sign to form an even membrane of water. This membrane has the effect of optimising sign visibility even in the worst weather. It also has the effect that a plane of water forms on the surface, which flows down and off the sign, entirely negating the need for sign cleaning. With dew resistant sheeting, you will have zero cost for sign maintenance, due to its self-cleaning properties.

Nikkalite Anti-Graffiti Protective Overlay Film
Next, Sean demonstrated the effects of Nikkalite Anti-Graffitti Protective Overlay. “Nikkalite Anti-Graffiti is designed to have a hydrophobic Teflon like effect with the additional fluoride compounds which enhance its durability and resilience. Adhesive flyers and stickers come right off the sign without any effort.
It is extremely difficult for any adhesive to form a bond with the surface. This is especially useful in urban areas where advertising flyers and stickers are prevalent. In this instance, removing the sticker from standard overlay, removed the entire overlay and print surface beneath.
Sean also conducted a marker test using an oil based permanent marker. Using dry tissue, it was easy to remove the marks from the surface of the anti-graffiti overlay with little effort. It was impossible to remove the marks from the sign with standard overlay.
