When you need a large format graphic solution to withstand harsh environments, not all films are created equal. X-Treme from Continental Grafix USA stands out. It’s a purpose-built solution engineered for challenging environments where ordinary solutions fall short. Whether it’s challenging temperatures or difficult substrates, see how X-Treme is the solution that takes you further.

X-Treme Details

As a film solution, X-Treme is a 4 mil smooth, polymeric white calendared vinyl with up to 5 year outdoor vertical durability. What makes it stick is its proprietary removable adhesive. It’s not just a simple, high tack adhesive found on standard films. X-Treme performs where traditional adhesive backed films often fails. You now have a choice to use a removable adhesive rather than a permanent adhesive. Use this solution for typical short to long term indoor and outdoor graphic applications for uncompromised performance. X-Treme performs in places where other vinyl won’t.

High Performance for Predicable & Unpredictable Temperature Swings

It’s formulated to perform where others struggle, particularly in extreme heat and cold. Unlike standard vinyl films, X-Treme will stick in freezing weather (+5°F) or blistering heat (+122°F). It delivers exceptional temperature resistance and dimensional stability to make it your go-to solution for outdoor environments where performance can’t be compromised. With X-Treme, now you have the tools to install graphics for your customers when no one else can.

Sticking to the Most Challenging Surfaces for a Wide Variety of Applications

X-Treme is designed to be versatile. Its unique features make it an ideal choice for a wide range of surface types and applications. X-Treme sticks to low surface energy (LSE) substrates. LSE substrates typically resist adhesion to surfaces like HDPE plastics made into trash bins and portable toilets. Other challenging surfaces include a variety of other plastics and polymers, MDF, and powder coated surfaces.

Effective performance on a wide variety of substrates for different applications is essential. From classic installations on flat and slightly structured glass surfaces to building wraps or even packaging for labeling, X-Treme is a flexible solution. It performs in the variable weather conditions and temperature swings experienced by graphics on trailer and truck sides. Use X-Treme for building wraps and storefront graphics on glass, wood, metal, and concrete. It’s a great solution for packaging and labeling for products exposed to extreme heat or cold during storage or transport. 

X-Treme is a strategic choice for brands and printer that need to provide their customers with graphics that adhere predicably and last without sacrificing.

The Game Changer for Graphics

Temperature extremes and challenging substrates are norms in today’s world. X-Treme fills the gap that other film solutions simply can’t. From producing graphics for beer caves, walk-in coolers & freezers, stadium seating, or barricade signage to graphics used in icy delivery docks and heat-soaked warehouses, X-Treme offers the peace of mind and performance required for commercial and industrial applications.

Materials matter in a sustainable print business. X-Treme supports your business and your customers. Harsh, unpredictable environments demand a solution like X-Treme so graphics can not just survive but perform over the life of the installation.
