    Applying and Transfer Procedure

    To ensure a good bond, the bonding surfaces should be free of any contaminants such as oils, greases, fingerprints, etc.
    1. Remove the film from cold storage and allow it to warm to room temperature.
    2. After the film has been warmed to room temperature, remove release liner from one side.
    3. Preheat substrate to 50°C to 70°C.
    4. Locate the adhesive onto the preheated substrate. Smooth out any trapped air by hand, with a roller or any other smoothing device. Some pressure is advisable to ensure intimate contact between the adhesive and substrate.
    5. Allow the substrate to cool to room temperature (cooler is better) and remove release liner. This is very important to allow for easy and clean separation of the final release liner from the adhesive.
    6. Place the two substrates to be bonded together under uniform pressure. It is advisable to preheat the devise(s) being used to apply pressure. An unheated device will result in longer cure times and less uniformity of cure.
    7. Cure at the desired cure schedule. Refer to the cure schedules above for guide information

    Handling and Storage

    This product is shipped frozen and should be stored frozen to optimize shelf life. Care should be taken in handling frozen/cold sheets, they are more likely to crack at this point (avoid flexing film if stored at - 40°C). Allow material to warm to room temperature before handling.

    Shelf Life

    6 months at -10°C.
