The HEXIS Group to launch TAKE HEAT EASY technology

HEXIS S.A. unveiled at the 2018 SEMA SHOW in Las Vegas the eagerly awaited THE190EVO, a next generation printable premium high performance 50 µm cast PVC film.

TAKE HEAT EASY® (THE) new technology
The THE190EVO is composed of a new structured liner developed by HEXIS, in which our R&D engineers have integrated a special layer to provide a maximum opacity.
“The emboss has been designed in order to lower the initial tack and make the film easy to install even by beginners”, says Christophe BAUDRION, HEXIS R&D Manager.

Thibault VEUILLET, Business Development Manager Automotive: “We have also developed for TAKE HEAT EASY® a new solvent-based adhesive which, combined with the liner, creates this specific tack installers will get addicted to!”
Easy application, conformability, versatility – all these advantages allow professionals to use it for any project: full wraps, vehicle fleets, interior decoration, light vehicles, trucks, buses, coaches, boats…
THE190EVO may be used in combination with several laminates: cast PC190 series (gloss or matt finish), PVC-free PC500 laminates (extra long-term UV protection, available in gloss or matt finish), or cast structured laminates (carbon fibre, wood effect, glitter, concrete finish etc.).

Produced on our new Casting line in Hagetmau (South-west France)
Caroline MATEU, President of HEXIS proudly comments: “Our R&D, Process and Production teams have combined their skills and know-how to meet the target and produce this brand new film on our latest production line, CAST4 in our second factory located in Hagetmau, France!”.
