FlexMark® WPAE WHITE OPAQUE VINYL, HIGH-PERFORMANCE PERMANENT ADHESIVE, AIR EGRESS LINER

Features & Benefits

  • 3.5 mil flexible opaque white vinyl provides good opacity for covering up existing graphics
  • Film provides good resistance to scuffing, tearing and abrasion
  • Printable via UV and solvent screen, UV and solvent inkjet, UV offset, and latex
  • High-performance permanent adhesive bonds well to ABS, acrylic, Formica®, aluminum, stainless steel, HDPE, painted metal, styrene, painted non-vinyl wallboard, glass and more
  • Backed with a 90 lb. air egress release liner that reduces entrapment of air

For Inkjet Printing: • Typical max. ink limit = 250% • When storing printed graphics, sheeted, stacked or in roll-form, consider leaving an unprinted margin (about 1/4") to allow for potential shrinkage of the film before trimming
