Trapped air can turn a straightforward vinyl installation into extra work. General Formulations’ new air egress vinyls are designed to make dry application easier, with four options that let you choose the adhesive and finish that fit the job.
GF 220AE, 221AE, 222AE, and 223AE are all 6-mil semi-rigid vinyls with an air egress liner. The liner provides pathways for trapped air to escape during application, while the semi-rigid construction makes the film easier to handle.
The combination of an air egress liner and 6-mil construction is especially useful during installation.
The air egress pattern helps installers work trapped air out as the vinyl is applied dry, while the added thickness and dimensional stability make the material easier to handle and position.
For newer installers, this can make the application process more approachable. For experienced installers, it can help keep everyday installations moving efficiently.
The lineup comes down to two decisions: permanent or removable adhesive, then gloss or matte finish.
