English term or phrase: static cling
Definition from Signs.com:
Window decals all have some kind of adhesive backing that is stuck to a window. This can be done on the outside, the inside or even from the inside facing out (this last option is called “inside glass” and is described below). This adhesive material means that your actual window sign is “semi-permanent.” This just means that when installing the decal there will be some wiggle room to adjust it as needed but once the decal’s adhesive kicks in it will be extremely difficult to reposition.

Example sentence(s):
  • Window clings are free of adhesive and can easily be removed, repositioned and reused. The lack of adhesive means that static clings are not weather resistant and therefore not recommended for outdoor use. Label Tech Incorporated
  • Thanks to the ease of installation—simply peel and apply—you can get static cling window film for a special one time event and then remove for your next event. That is why static clings have become so popular for birthday parties, special celebrations such as anniversaries, office parties, and much more. Window Film World
  • We see a wide variety of uses for Static Clings, most of which involve a branding or product promotion that goes on store front windows. We also see this product commonly used for annual memberships, where they are provided with renewal to show off your support or participation in various non-profits or business industries.

statische raamfolie


Definition from own experience or research:
Statische raamfolie is een kunststof folie die, met behulp van een waterfilm in plaats van lijmstoffen, aan gladde en niet-poreuze oppervlakten 'kleeft'.

Example sentence(s):
  • Statische raamfolie is de raamfolie die eenvoudig aan te brengen en te verwijderen is. Hecht door water en statische elektriciteit, en is keer op keer te gebruiken. - Raamfolie Statisch  

Explanation:
In tegenstelling tot wat de naam suggereert, heeft "static cling (statische raamfolie)" niets te maken met statische electriciteit.
De 'kleefkracht' wordt veroorzaakt door de atmosferische luchtdruk tegen de folie, terwijl tussen de folie en de (b.v.) glazen ondergrond een vacuüm in stand gehouden wordt door de capilaire werking van een waterfilm.
