At Slip Stream 24/7, we are committed to keeping our customers informed about the latest advancements in car wrap technology. One significant change in the industry has been 3M’s decision to phase out their popular 1080 Film Series wraps and replace them with the more advanced 2080 Film Series. This transition marks a step forward in improving both the quality and application of car wraps.
Here’s why 3M made this pivotal change:
Enhanced Material Technology
The 2080 Film Series incorporates the latest technological advancements from 3M. Unlike the 1080 Series, the 2080 wraps feature an improved vinyl material that offers enhanced conformability and durability. This means that the wraps are easier to install, reducing the risk of wrinkles and bubbles, and can better conform to the complex curves and recesses of modern vehicles. The new material also boasts increased resistance to scratches during installation, thanks to its innovative protective film layer that can be removed once the wrap is applied.
Improved Finish and Appearance
3M’s 2080 Film Series offers an array of new color options and finishes that were not available in the 1080 Series, providing more choices for personalization and customization. The depth and texture of the finishes have been enriched to more closely mimic natural materials like carbon fiber and brushed metal, offering a more authentic and high-quality appearance. Additionally, the gloss films in the 2080 Series have a higher gloss level, enhancing their vibrancy and shine.
Greater Durability and Lifespan
A big reason for upgrading to the 2080 Film Series is the enhanced durability. The new formulation of the vinyl allows the wraps to maintain their color and finish for longer periods, even when exposed to harsh environmental conditions such as UV rays, heat, and humidity. This enhancement ensures the vehicle maintains its visual appeal for a longer period, offering greater value to both installers and end-users.
Commitment to Sustainability
In line with global trends towards sustainability, the 2080 Film Series has been designed with environmental considerations in mind. The production process for these wraps is more efficient, resulting in less waste and reduced energy consumption. By choosing the 2080 Series, customers are making a more environmentally friendly choice without compromising on quality or performance.
