Benefits

  • 2.0 mil gloss topcoated silver matte polyester provides consistent surface smoothness, excellent dimensional stability and endurance to varying temperatures
  • Topcoat is more universally printable than other thermal transfer printable products
  • Printable via resin and wax/resin thermal transfer; UV & solvent screen; UV, solvent & water flexo; and UV inkjet
  • Permanent acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds well to low- and high-surface energy plastics, painted metal, powder-coated paint, polycarbonate and fiberglass
  • High shear and high peel adhesive resists cold flow and oozing
  • Adhesive bonds well to base film substrates
  • 90 lb. moisture stable polycoated release liner is ideal for roll-to-sheet and sheet-form converting on most narrow-format presses
