DPM Shield™ is an ultra clear self adhesive top laminate for protection and enhancement of direct part marks. This advanced polymer has been developed specifically to protect against impact, abrasion, corrosion and pooling of debris in direct part mark areas.
 
DPM Shield™ offers increased durability, and provides protection from influences that can degrade your marks.

Increase DPM Readability
The DPM Shield™ structure allows your reader to easily recognize low contrast cells in your code while offering very strong protection against agents which can degrade your mark such as: 

• Debris Collection in Cells
• Corrosion Collection in Cells
• Cell Damage from Continuous Impacts or Abrasion
• Chemical Intrusion
• Sand Blasting / Desert Storms

Sand Blast Testing Results
DPM Shield™ achieved outstanding results in sand blast testing.  When placed over direct part marks on metal, the DPM Shield™ maintained full legibility after blasting. Unprotected portions of the plates were not rendered unreadable.

Easy to Apply
DPM Shield™ is a simple peel and stick solution for increasing mark durability. Finished with a permanent adhesive, DPM shield is suitable for direct UV exposure and exterior weathering conditions.

DPM Shield™ is available in rolls, sheets or pre cut and can be cut to size and shape to fit your needs.

DPM Shield™ is an ideal solution for protection of engraved or printed ID plates, labels and direct marks important for the life cycle durability of your ID. DPM Shield™ is suitable for all metal, painted metal and plastics.
