Features & Benefits

  • Excellent high-temperature, humidity and chemical resistance which allows the switch to remain functional in extreme environments
  • Film is dimensionally stable through printing, diecutting and laminating processes
  • Adhesive is compatible with a wide range of solvent and UV ink systems, including conductive, decorative and dielectric inks
  • High-performance permanent pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive bonds well to high-surface energy plastics, metal and paint*
  • Superior mechanical properties ensure long-term membrane switch performance without delamination (ASTM F 1578-00)
  • Product can be repositioned within the first few minutes of application allowing easy correction of assembly mistakes
  • Backed with a 90 lb. moisture stable polycoated layflat release liner ideal for sheet-form converting
  • Product is ideal for dome retention, tail insulating and tail reinforcing
  • Product is available in rolls and sheets
  • Product is RoHS compliant
  • Adhesive system has UL recognition under UL746C, Polymeric Adhesive Systems, Electrical Equipment - Component and UL969, Marking & Labeling Systems Materials Component 302°F (150°C)

*Recommendations: Application surfaces must be above 50°F (10°C). Surfaces must be clean and dry to obtain best adhesion results. Firm and even laminating pressure helps promote adhesive contact and improves bond strength. Always laminate to exclude air entrapment.
