Highlights
- Topcoat provides the advantages of matte coating combined with a surface that is smooth enough for thermal transfer printing. Resin ribbons are recommended for optimum durability. The matte coating resists degradation from scuffing, chemicals, moisture, and wide temperature fluctuations. The topcoat also provides improved ink anchorage for traditional forms of press printing; 3M™ High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 350 permanently bonds to high surface energy (HSE) and low surface energy (LSE) plastics, textured and contoured surfaces, powder coatings, and slightly oily metals. It has excellent chemical resistance and holding strength even at high temperatures. Thick adhesive caliper provides for stronger bond on textured surface; Polyester liner contributes to improved die cutting by allowing for deeper die cuts than paper without the added concern of exposing paper fibers. A backside release coating helps minimize label blocking. The film liner resists breaking during high speed dispensing. The polyester liner is recommended for clean room applications; 3M™ Label Material 7879FL is UL recognized (File MH16411) and CSA accepted (File 99316). See the UL and CSA listings for details; UL listing includes approval for use on powder coated surfaces
