Packaging

All nished rolls must be loosely wound, properly stored, not tightly banded and shipped expeditiously to avoid any ooze issues between converting and the end use of

the material.

Environmental Resistance

Do not use this adhesive in applications where the label will be exposed to outdoor environments or water.

Handling/Application Information

Application Ideas

• Tire tread label applications

• Interior labels adhering to brick or cement surfaces

Application Techniques

• The liner release has not been optimized for auto applied or auto dispensed applications. This material can only be hand applied.

• For maximum bond strength, surface should be clean and dry. A typical cleaning solvent is heptane or isopropyl alcohol.

Note: Consult the manufacturer’s MSDS for proper handling and storage of solvents. For best conditions, application surface should be at room temperature or higher.

Low temperature surfaces (below 10°F [-12°C]) can cause the adhesive to become so rm that it will not develop maximum contact with the substrate. Higher initial

bonds are achieved through increased rub down pressure.

Printing

The preferred print method for all tire materials is exographic printing. If utilizing thermal transfer, be sure that the rolls have been properly stored, butt cut, pattern

coated, and loosely wound to reduce adhesive ooze through the printer.
