Landor distributes and supports a wide selection of liquid laminates, digital varnishes and inkjet protective coatings, with the aim of providing the best protection possible. ClearShield liquid laminates are produced by Marabu North America and have been established globally for well over 25 years as a reliable range of protective solutions for the printed image. We stock and distribute ClearShield alongside our complementary range of high-performance coatings. We can ship same day/next day from our UK and French (EU) distribution centre, ready to deliver anywhere in Europe, usually within 2–3 working days. We have been distributing, supporting, testing and developing coating solutions for over 20 years.

Aerosol sprays are typically used when the substrate or inks are not water resistant. We always aim to recommend the best solution for your application – including, where possible, an environmentally friendly, easy-to-use option – and for this reason most applications can work with our water-based range of coatings. However, paper substrates are vulnerable to water, as are inkjet coatings and inks that are not water resistant. In these cases, our solvent-based aerosol sprays are the solution. For a small canvas or print, you may also prefer a quick, no-clean-up option such as our aerosol solvent sprays.
Be mindful of the smell, and keep away from anyone with respiratory or other health conditions or sensitivities. Ideally, use in a separate, well-ventilated room.
Liquid laminators – coating systems for liquid lamination
All our coatings provide an excellent durable, UV-protective finish that works well with digitally printed materials, from pressure-sensitive printed vinyls and PVC banner (or equivalent) to digital wallpapers. ClearShield works very well with most eco-solvent prints, some UV-printed inks and, in some cases, latex inkjet prints. Landor liquid laminates provide the extra adhesion and protection that certain substrates, inks, applications and environments sometimes need. We can advise on the best solution and are always on hand to test and evaluate your application and substrates.
This means we can offer the best solution for almost any printed substrate, from flexible to rigid, and for eco-solvent, pigment, UV or latex prints. When you use our coatings for specialised protection, such as vehicle graphics and wraps, you benefit from a much lower cost and greater flexibility than traditional lamination films, especially cast films, plus UV fade protection. UV fade protection is a key feature of all our water-based coatings, and each coat also provides colour enhancement, chemical resistance and abrasion resistance. These are some of the key benefits of protecting digital prints with Landor liquid laminates. To ensure maximum protection, our laminates are formulated for a variety of inks and substrates, such as banners, truckside curtains, fine-art prints and vehicle wraps and graphics.
Properties
Applications
Landor water-based liquid lamination coatings are your first choice for all non-water-sensitive applications. The formulation uses state-of-the-art resins and ultraviolet inhibitors that protect the substrate, the ink and the clear coating itself. These non-yellowing clear coatings have excellent exterior durability and are highly flexible. For water-sensitive applications such as dye inks, we can also supply our solvent-based liquid lamination coatings, which you can apply by hand, or our aerosol ColourJet sprays.
Use Landor water-based liquid coatings on most substrates, including waterproof canvas, vinyl, banners, fibreglass, wood, metal, plastic and paper. You can apply them over solvent, eco-solvent, UV and latex inks and almost all other printed ink and media combinations. Our liquid lamination coatings are available in several versions.
Solvent coatings are usually necessary for paper substrates or non-water-resistant inks or substrates. Apart from paper, we will usually aim to help you move to one of our more eco-friendly coatings.
Landor has been working with coatings for over 20 years. We started by protecting giclée fine art on canvas, and now help protect vehicles, flex-face signs, digital wallpaper, fabric truck curtain sides, bouncy castles, children’s soft play, high-traffic retail, shopping centre advertising, promotions and branding, event signage and sports branding.
Depending on your project and the expertise you need, we can also support you with a bespoke coating service. Tell us about your project and we will see how we can help. With our current resources, we can apply protective coatings by hand or by coater, using water-based, solvent or UV-curable coatings.
