white matte
3M™ Thermoscript films with the 350E adhesive series solve a variety of labeling tasks. They are characterized above all by excellent adhesion to powder-coated surfaces and slightly oily substrates. They are even UL-approved in conjunction with most powder coatings. In addition, they are suitable for bonding to low-energy substrates such as PE/PP. The variants with thicker adhesive coatings have proven themselves on structured substrates.
Equipped with glassine release papers, 3M™ Thermoscript films are recommended for automatic dispensing processes. The special matte surface coating is resistant to chemical stresses such as brake fluid (DOT 4) and hydraulic oil when thermal transfer printing is used with suitable ribbons.

Based on our current knowledge, the following functionality and durability of 3M™ Thermoscript foils can be expected. Generally, not less than the following times with vertical outdoor weathering, provided the foils have been properly processed and applied according to 3M recommendations:
| Durability | Outdoor use: 2-3 years Indoor use: almost unlimited |
| Shelf life | 2 years |
| Recommended Storage Conditions | 23°C / 50% relative humidity. Storage of film/label rolls in polybags is recommended. |
| Printing | Screen/letterpress/flexographic/offset printing processes A color qualification test is recommended before series production. Note: It is recommended to test the base print for chemical resistance if necessary! |
| Thermal transfer printing | The special surface coating of the 3M™ Thermoscript films Series 350E is ideally suited for subsequent labeling using the thermal transfer printing process. The visual appearance and resistance of the subsequent labeling depend on the ribbon used. In order to achieve an optimal printed image, the printing speed and the transfer temperature of the heating bar may need to be varied. |
| Die-cutting | Sharp knives and the use of double-sided silicone-coated release paper as well as minimal web tension are recommended to avoid the effects of possible adhesive bleed. |
