Datasheet

Acrylic Adhesive
The acrylic adhesive is a medium tack adhesive with higher
end use temperature and good clarity. Usually preferred for
applications where good ageing properties are required.
Unless otherwise requested this adhesive is standard on
all clear bumper protectors because of its superior ageing
properties.
Rubber Adhesive
The rubber adhesive is an aggressive high tack adhesive which
dis-plays good instant tack as well as high peel and shear
properties. Unless otherwise requested this adhesive is standard
for all coloured bumper protectors because of it’s superior tach
& shear properties.

Adhesive Considerations
Please refer to the chart which illustrates the relative adhesion
properties of the adhesive systems used in the production of
bumper protectors.
In general terms allow time (dwell) to increase the surface contact
and therefore the adhesion. Please note that acrylic adhesives
generally require longer dwell times than the rubber based
systems. We recommend customers carry out their own tests
because application conditions will vary.
APPLYING bumper protectors
It is important to remember, that as with any self adhesive product, the surface to which they are being applied must be clean, dry and free from dust and dirt. Therefore, to gain maximum adhesion,
clean the surface with low strength solvent and allow to dry thoroughly before use. Please follow solvent manufacturers’ instructions for safety.
