Features

  • 2.0 mil white gloss topcoated polyester provides consistent surface smoothness, excellent dimensional stability and endurance to varying temperatures
  • Printable via resin and wax/resin thermal transfer; UV & solvent screen; UV, solvent & water flexo; and UV inkjet
  • Topcoat is more universally printable than other thermal transfer printable products
  • High-performance modified acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is the most aggressive adhesive for low surface energy plastics
  • Permanently bonds to a variety of low surface energy plastics, painted metal, powder coated paint, polycarbonate, and fiberglass
  • Adhesive eliminates the need to prime or flame treat the surface of TPO plastics
  • Backed with a 50 lb. bleached kraft release liner ideal for roll-form converting
  • Liner is suitable for optical sensing on most thermal transfer printers

Additional Details

All narrow-format UV inkjet systems are different; therefore, we recommend "fit-for-use" testing.

For laser diecutability, please check with your equipment manufacturer.
