Features

  • 3.4 mil silver polyethylene offers superior film conformabilty for maximum label and graphic coverage
  • Polyethylene film offers good resistance to a variety of environments, including the shower where moisture and humidity are present
  • Print-receptive film provides uniform and consistent printability via rotary letterpress, rotary screen and flexography (Flexcon recommends in-line corona treatment to enhance ink receptivity)
  • Permanent pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive bonds well to low- and high-surface energy plastics, metal and paint without lifting, tunneling or flagging
  • Heavy coat weight of aggressive, permanent clear adhesive provides good tack, wet-out and ultimate adhesion, which prevents label from lifting
  • Backed with Flexcon® TracRite™ 120 polyester release liner for excellent on-press performance for tight registration graphics
  • Polyester release liner contains up to 60% Post Industrial Recycled content, provides good diecutting base and allows for high-speed dispensing

Additional Details

Please note: Gels are inherent in polyethylene films and are generally hard to see. The metal process is on the surface and can be more visible due to the highly-reflective nature of the product. We recommend "fit-for-use" testing under actual application conditions.
