APM R5 125 µm is a self-adhesive and washable UV film designed for common deep sandblasting of glass. APM R5 125 µm (but also R3 75 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, the R5 allows the positioning of the glued stencil to be changed even if it is incorrectly glued on the object.

• R5 is designed for conventional deep sandblasting of glass
• it can also be used when sandblasting large graphics (e.g. on flat glass)
• suitable for text, curves and raster graphics
• requires washing and subsequent drying

• can be repositioned once the stencil has been applied
