Adhesive

Permanent (Clear)

Arlon Series 2500, 2-mil cast translucent vinyl film is coated with a specially developed acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive that facilitates applications over a wide range of temperatures. Initial adhesion, ultimate adhesion and shrinkage properties have been balanced to create a product that is easy to apply, and performs to user expectations. Optimum application temperatures are between 60°F and 90°F (15°C and 32°C), but may be extended by special preparation i.e., heat gun at below 40°F (5°C) and “wet” application at above 90°F (30°C).

Release Liner

Synthetic

Durability (Unprinted)

Seven (7) years. Durability will be affected by clear coating or lamination as well as actual exposure conditions and sign face maintenance. Recommended laminates for Arlon Series 2500 include Series 3220 and Series 3350 (for rigid substrates only). When applying Series 3350 laminating tension should be kept at a minimum to avoid overstretching the laminate.

THERMOFORMING

Durability of the film and gloss of the underlying plastic may be reduced when thermoforming process conditions exceed 360°F for 8 minutes.

USAGE AND APPLICATION INFORMATION

For best results on large, continuous-color signs, be sure to utilize material from the same batch on the same sign face to assure perfect color reflection and transmission across the sign face. When rejoining sheets or characters, avoid overlapping film if possible. A preferable splice can be achieved utilizing a 45°-mitre cut after determining splice point by overlapping. Strip waste ends from top and bottom, then butt-angle cut together.

The angled butt splice gives best protection from uneven splices, preventing light leaks while avoiding overlaps that will create dark bands along splice edges. When installing large graphics on glass, Plexiglas® or acrylic sign faces, it is useful to follow “wet” application techniques. This will reduce trapped air problems and aid in repositionability for proper registration. Care should be taken to thoroughly remove entrapped water through high squeegee pressure. Arlon Series 2500 is not compatible with textured surfaces such as textured glass.
