Features

  • 2.0 mil silver matte polyester with gloss topcoat provides consistent surface smoothness, excellent dimensional stability and endurance to varying temperatures
  • Topcoat resists smudging and abrasion when printed with resin and wax/resin thermal transfer ribbons
  • Topcoat is compatible with color and black resin and wax/resin thermal transfer ribbons (we recommend evaluating the intended ribbon and ink system for compatibility with the product under the application conditions)
  • Static dissipating additives in the topcoat reduce the risk of print voids due to static generated at the print head
  • 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
  • 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
