Protex® 20VS

Chemical Family
Acrylics & Acrylates

Protex 20VS is a 20 mil latex saturated paper used to protect acrylic windows, canopies and windshields, as well as bare metals and painted surfaces. The paper is vinyl coated on one side and will withstand more abrasion than comparable papers. One of the advantages to Protex 20VS adhesive is if it comes into contact with itself (e.g. if the paper is folded), the product will not block. The two surfaces can be pulled apart without the adhesive being pulled off the paper backing on either side. This will prevent having to dispose of any unusable product.
