3M™ ElectroCut™ Film Series 1170

3M™ ElectroCut™ Film Series 1170 is a premium transparent acrylic film engineered for professional traffic and safety signage applications where clarity, precision, and long-term performance are essential. Designed as part of 3M’s matched component system, Series 1170 is applied over reflective sheeting to create durable, high-visibility sign faces with excellent cutting, weeding, lifting, and transfer characteristics—supporting efficient fabrication workflows.

This pressure-sensitive, solvent-free film delivers high transparency, providing equal or superior retroreflective performance compared to sheetings screened with transparent inks. Its energy-efficient manufacturing aligns with modern sustainability standards while maintaining professional-grade results. For regulated traffic signs requiring added protection, Series 1170C includes UV resistance to help prevent fading and discoloration over time, protecting both ink and reflective sheeting in digitally imaged sign faces.

Engineered for outdoor use, ElectroCut Film Series 1170 offers up to 7 years of outdoor durability and is compatible with the 3M™ MCS™ Warranty when used as part of the approved system—making it a reliable alternative to other sign fabrication methods. Trusted by sign professionals, this film combines performance, transparency, and protection backed by the quality of 3M.
