Applications of specialty films
Polypropylene foils and polyester foils are used for durable industrial labels in the technical industry, mechanical engineering, and electronics, while embossable aluminum foils and high-temperature foils ensure reliable labeling in the automotive industry and medical technology. For particularly demanding applications, acetone-resistant foils and foils for low-energy surfaces offer maximum adhesion and resistance, while carrier foils in logistics and production ensure the traceability of goods. Retroreflective foils and high-reflectivity foils increase safety through improved visibility, and removable foils enable flexible temporary labeling in manufacturing processes.

3M Brand 3922/3922 DSL Series High-Temperature Film
For which Applications Was the 3M 3922 DSL / 3922 Developed?
The foil was specially developed for labels that must meet the highest demands for durability and resistance – even at extremely high temperatures. Typical applications include circuit boards or industrial applications with challenging conditions, e.g., in the steel industry.
What Material Properties Does the 3M 3922 DSL / 3922 Foil Offer?
The 3M 3922 DSL / 3922 consists of a cast acrylic film that:
- is UV and weather resistant.
- remains solvent-resistant and dimensionally stable.
- has a matte, white surface.
Can the 3M 3922 DSL / 3922 Foil be Subsequently Labeled?
Yes, the surface is excellently suited for thermal transfer printing. This allows barcodes and other labels to be applied with high contrast and permanent legibility.
What is the Adhesive Strength of the 3M 3922 DSL / 3922 Foil?
The foil is equipped with a modified acrylate adhesive. This ensures a reliable, permanent bond even on challenging substrates – e.g., low-energy or structured materials.
What Does the Functionality on Circuit Boards Depend on?
The suitability of the 3M 3922 DSL / 3922 foil depends on the soldering profile used and the respective substrate surface. A prior test in the specific application is recommended.
Where else Can the 3M 3922 DSL / 3922 Foil be Used?
In addition to circuit board labeling, the 3M 3922 DSL / 3922 is also suitable for other processes with comparably demanding operating conditions. It is an economical and reliable solution in various industrial sectors.
Acetone-resistant Foils 92062 / 92064 from 3M
For which Applications are these Foils Suitable?
The product line was specially developed for labeling devices that are exposed to heavy stress from chemicals and abrasion – e.g., from acetone or MEK.
What Advantages Does Printing Offer?
In combination with 3M™ 92904 or Ricoh B110CU thermal transfer ribbons, the print remains permanently legible even with aggressive chemicals.
How is the Film Surface Designed?
The surface is highly resistant to many solvents and can be subsequently labeled using thermal transfer printing.
Which Adhesive Do the Foils Use?
All foils are equipped with the proven 350E series acrylate adhesive. This adheres reliably to high- and low-energy substrates (e.g., PE, PP) as well as to many powder-coated surfaces and even slightly oily substrates.
What Role Does the Protective Paper Play?
The double-sided silicone-coated glassine release liner provides stability and is ideal for automatic dispensing and die-cutting processes.
3M Brand Polyester Film 92200
For which Applications Was the 3M Polyester Label Material 92200 Developed?
It is particularly suitable for labeling on structured, grained, and low-energy plastic surfaces. Typical fields of application include the automotive industry and the technical industry.
What Adhesive Properties Does the Material Offer?
The label material is equipped with 3M™ SE100 adhesive, which enables particularly high adhesion even on very low-energy materials. With 65 g/m² adhesive coating, it adheres reliably even on rough and structured surfaces.
What Material Properties Characterize the Foil?
- 50 µm glossy white polyester face material for high resistance.
- Thermal transfer printable, optimal with resin ribbons for maximum durability.
- Topcoat for improved ink adhesion, also for conventional printing processes.
- Robust and resistant for use in harsh environments.
What Advantage Does the Liner Material Offer?
The double-sided silicone-coated glassine liner paper (56 µm, 62 g/m²) ensures uniform die-cutting, facilitates label dispensing, and reduces adhesive bleed (“oozing”).
What Certifications are Available?
The 3M Polyester Label Material 92200 is UL and cUL recognized (File MH18072).
What are the Typical Applications?
- Labeling of structured surfaces.
- Labeling on difficult-to-adhere surfaces.
- Barcode labels and nameplates.
- Warning, instruction, and service labels for durable goods.
3M Brand Aluminum Film 7800
What Special Properties Does the 3M Aluminum Film 7800 Have?
They are highly temperature and weather resistant, making them ideal for durable labeling in demanding environments.
Can the 3M 7800 Foil also be Used on Molded Parts?
