Question 1

Product Description

Accepted Answer

3MTM 76622 TT5 MW PET125-350E/46-90WGH is equipped with a particularly thick 125 μm white matte polyester film. The adhesive is suitable for bonding to low-energy substrates.

Question 2

Physical properties

Accepted Answer

Film
125 µm polyester, white, matte

Adhesive
46 µm 350E acrylate

Liner
80 µm, 92 g/m² paper, white, densified and siliconized on one side

(Thickness specifications are nominal values)

Question 3

Special properties

Accepted Answer

Good printability at lower curing temperatures in thermal transfer printing
High resistance to abrasion and chemicals
The high polyester thickness allows for better handling of the foil due to increased rigidity.
The foil is surface-treated for improved subsequent labeling in thermal transfer and other printing processes.
The 350E adhesive type, with a thickness of 46 μm, provides high adhesion even on low-energy substrates.
The 92 g/m2 protective paper made of compacted paper enables good die-cutting and further processing of the foil.

Question 4

Question 6

Processing

Accepted Answer

Printing:
Screen, letterpress, flexo, offset printing processes. A color qualification test is required before series production.The special surface coating of the 3M Thermoscript film is very well suited for post-printing using the thermal transfer printing process. The durability of the post-printing depends on the ribbon used.  
 
Die-cutting:
Sharp knives and minimal web tension are recommended to avoid the effects of possible adhesive bleed. We recommend removing the matrix immediately after the die-cutting process. The best results were achieved in rotary printing and die-cutting processes. Flatbed processing must be checked on a case-by-case basis in consultation with our application engineering department.   
 
Packaging:
Finished labels should be stored in plastic bags in roll form. Fan-folding is not recommended.
