APM R3 75 µm is a self-adhesive and washable UV film designed for conventional glass sandblasting. APM R3 75 µm films (but also R5 125 µm) 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 only activated by the absorption of moisture from the surroundings, R3 makes it possible to change the positioning of the glued stencil even if it is incorrectly glued on the object.
