Bald Eagle Patriot Gold Eyes Strip Rear Window Decal — 20×60″ One-Way Vision OWV

Technical Specifications & Material Science

Material Composition

This bald eagle rear window decal uses premium-grade perforated vinyl film with an 80/20 see-through ratio:

• Base Layer: 3.2 mil calendared vinyl with micro-perforations (0.8mm diameter holes)
• Adhesive: Permanent acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) rated -40°C to +90°C
• Laminate: 1.5 mil optically-clear UV-resistant polyurethane film
• Perforation Pattern: Hexagonal array, 80% open area, 20% printable surface
• Ink System: Eco-solvent pigmented inks (fade-resistant 5+ years outdoors)
• Total Thickness: 4.7 mil (0.12mm) including laminate

Optical Physics: How One-Way Vision Works

The perforated film creates a differential light transmission effect:

From Inside Vehicle (darker environment):

• 80% of material is transparent holes allowing clear outward vision
• Perforations act as thousands of tiny windows
• Visual acclimation time: 2-3 seconds
• Effective visibility: 85-95% of unobstructed rear window clarity

From Outside Vehicle (brighter environment):

• External light reflects off 20% solid printed surface
• Graphic appears opaque due to light reflection
• Perforations appear dark (looking into darker cabin)
• Observer sees complete image without holes

Installation Science & Methodology

Pre-Installation Requirements

Environmental Conditions:

• Temperature: 15°C to 25°C (optimal adhesive activation)
• Humidity: <70% relative humidity
• Location: Shaded area (garage, carport) or overcast day
• Avoid: Direct sunlight, rain, wind >15 km/h

Step-by-Step Installation (15-20 Minutes)

1. Clean Surface: Spray exterior window with isopropyl alcohol. Wipe with microfiber towel. Dry completely.
2. Test Fit: Hold decal against window (don't remove backing yet). Center horizontally and vertically.
3. Remove Backing: Peel white paper backing to expose adhesive side.
4. Apply to Window: Align decal with window. Press center first, then work outward.
5. Squeegee: Using included squeegee, press from center outward in overlapping strokes. Push air bubbles to edges.
6. Remove Application Tape: Wait 2-3 minutes. Peel clear tape at 180-degree angle slowly.
7. Final Inspection: Check for air bubbles. Small bubbles (<1mm) self-heal in 24-48h.

Post-Installation Cure:

• 48-hour cure before car wash
• 24-hour cure before highway driving
• 7-day cure for full adhesive bond strength
