These remarkable motion and dimensional effects are obtained from thousands of minute parabolic lenses that are molded into the surface on both sides of the film. These lenses create a pattern of absorption and reflection of light which result in unique and highly dramatic optical characteristics. Shimmering silk stardust sparkles geometric repetition and 3D effects are some of the ways to describe the Illusion Films. The material lends itself to many downstream processing methods. Printability is the key feature of RowLux. RowLux Illusion Film can also be easily die cut and adhesively bonded to many different substrates. Applications for RowLux are as varied as the i
magination allows. It has been used in architectural interiors point-of-purchase displays gaming machines clothing apparel and accessories foot-wear business cards decals home furnishings musical instruments and more. There are virtually limitless possibilities available to your designers and engineers.
