APM R3 75 µm is a self-adhesive and washable UV film designed for common glass sandblasting. APM R3 75 µm (but also R5 125 µm) films make decorative sandblasting even easier and more productive.

The "R" series has been specially developed for the production of stencils where precise positioning on the object is required. Due to the fact that the adhesive in the special emulsion is activated only by absorbing moisture from the surrounding area, R3 allows the positioning of the glued stencil to be changed even if the gluing on the object is incorrect.

• R3 is designed for conventional sandblasting of glass
• it can also be used when sandblasting large graphics (e.g. on flat glass)
• suitable for text, curves and raster graphics
• need for washing and subsequent drying

Main features:

• can be repositioned once the stencil has been applied
• accurate rendering of even fine details
• easy removal of the used stencil from the sandblasted object
• easy handling (gluing after washing)
• self-adhesive
• quick drying
• short exposure (illumination) time
