To obtain greatest benefit, laminations should be done in the cleanest environment possible with static charge elimination. Bond strength can be improved with firm application pressure and moderate heat causing the adhesive to develop intimate contact with the bonding surface. General Information • Light transmission >99% when corrected for reflection losses. • Haze level < 2%. • Free of birefringence with no film carrier. • High interfacial adhesion. • Non-whitening at high temperature/humidity. • Enhanced durability on outgassing substrates (PC, PMMA). • Bare ITO compatible for touch applications. • High temperature, humidity, and UV resistance. • Long term durability without yellowing, delaminating, or degrading. • High cohesive and peel strength for reliably bonding most transparent substrates. • Wound on plastic cores and wrapped in plastic to eliminate paper fiber contamination. • Two film liners for optimum adhesive smoothness and differential release for ease of processing and protection from contamination. Application Ideas • Touchscreens- for bonding film and glass laminates. • Transparent graphic overlays. • Projection screens. • Avionics/military displays. • Optical management films for LCD Processing: Laminating Recommended nip roll or roller platen press type laminator to maintain optical aesthetics when laminated. Hand lamination not advised. Use best process control standards possible to control variables. (See 3M Laminating Technical Bulletin for additional information.)
