silver matt
3M Thermoscript foils have been developed for subsequent labeling using the thermal transfer printing process. Due to their homogeneous material surface, a full-surface, opaque color transfer is possible. Furthermore, the foils are characterized by excellent adhesion to low-energy substrates, such as polyethylene and polypropylene. Equipped with glassine release liners, 3M Thermoscript foils are recommended for automatic dispensing processes.

Based on our current knowledge, the following functionality and durability can be expected for 3M Thermoscript foils. Generally, not below the following durations under vertical outdoor weathering, provided the foils have been professionally processed and applied according to 3M recommendations:
| Durability: | Outdoor use: 2-3 years / Indoor use: almost unlimited |
| Shelf life: | 2 years |
| Recommended storage condition: | 23°C / 50% relative humidity. It is recommended to store the film/label rolls in polyethylene bags. |
| Printing: | Screen / letterpress / flexographic / offset printing processes A color qualification test is recommended before series production. Note: It is also recommended to test the base print for chemical resistance if necessary! |
| Thermal transfer printing: | The special surface coating of the 3M Thermoscript films series 300E is very well suited for subsequent marking in thermal transfer printing. The optical appearance and the resistance of the subsequent marking depend on the ribbon used. In order to achieve an optimal print image, the printing speed and the transfer temperature of the heating bar may have to be varied. |
| Die-cutting: | Rotary die-cutting, sharp knives and minimal web tension are recommended to avoid possible adhesive leakage. |
