ID MARK Performance Properties

The unprotected ID-MARK image is abrasion resistant and moisture resistant and is suitable for indefinite indoor use. It is susceptible to wet abrasion, however, so for outdoor applications and applications in general, protection in the form of a film over-laminate is required. Please refer to the table below for specific information.
