Uses & Application

For A4 and Cut-size applications. Excellent clarity, UV-stability and good water resistance once labelled. Good adhesion properties and heat resistance. Limited adhesion at low temperatures. The highest end-use temperature must be separately checked together with the face material.

 

Shelf Life

4 years, under storage conditions as defined as 20ºC, RH 50%) Storage in high temperature will shorten shelf life.
