For faster, trouble-free application of glass manifestation, MetaScape Frost offers ease of application by providing air with an exit route from under the graphic. Frosted glass window graphics with a smooth consistent finish can be produced replacing traditional acid etching, whether computer-cut or for total-coverage architectural applications. The product has an 80 micron monomeric calendered frosted film.
