Material is a top coated to provide a laser printable surface. This material is halogen free. Print Methods: This material is recommended for laser printing. Adhesive: Acrylic based, pressure sensitive permanent adhesive. Standard Colors: White, Yellow, Matte Silver and Matte Clear Thickness: 3.5 +/- 0.4 mils (substrate and adhesive) Service Temperature Range: 0F to 275F (-18C to 135C) Minimum Application Temperature: 50F (10C) Storage Conditions: Store at 70F (21C) and 50% Relative Humidity. PROPERTIES: PERFORMANCE: Peel Adhesion to Stainless Steel: 35 oz/in width (PSTC-101, 15 min. dwell) Shear Adhesion: 24+ hours (PSTC-107, Procedure A) Tensile Strength: MD 48 +/- 4.8 lbs./inch width (PSTC-131) TD 74 +/- 7.4 lbs./inch width (PSTC-131) MD 80% +/- 15% (PSTC-131) Elongation: TD 75% +/- 15% (PSTC-131) UV Resistance: *3000 hours no change observed (ASTM G154) Elevated Temperature Exposure: After 8 hours at 150F (65.5C) there was no deterioration of the substrate Immersion Resistance: Printed samples were applied to stainless steel panels and immersed in Isopar L and Isopar M solutions to determine if the printing would smear or if the adhesive would degrade. Immersion Time Visual Changes 10 minutes None 30 minutes None 60 minutes None 24 hours None *3000 hours equates to 5 years of assimilated outdoor UV exposure.

The testing was conducted at room temperature and performed with reference to the above test methods. The samples were cut 1 wide, applied to stainless steel panels, and conditioned for 24 hours. The samples were then immersed in the specified reagents for 5 immersions using the following cycle: a 10 minute immersion time followed by a 30 minute recovery time. After the fifth immersion, the samples were conditioned for 24 hours before testing. Percent retention of performance was based on a 48 hour adhesion value of 56 oz/inch for the white GMY2 film, 58 oz/inch for the yellow GMY2 film and 67 oz/in for the silver GMY2 film, and 62 oz/in. for the clear GMY2 film. Table 1 shows test results for the white GMY2 film. Table 2 shows test results for the yellow GMY2 film. Table 3 shows test results for the silver GMY2 Film. Table 4 shows test results for the clear GMY2 film.
