Product specifications and characteristics
Please consult your 3M representative for additional technical information and instruction bulletin
Product construction
- PVC, cadmium-free laminate film with an elongation of > 100 %,
- Thickness (film + adhesive) : 210 micron
- Permanent acrylic adhesive with Comply™ Performance
- PE coated Kraft paper liner
Application temperature
Range of 16°C to 28°C. Wet application is not recommended nor needed, because of the Comply™ feature.
Dimensional stability
A 10 cm x 10 cm “X” gash was made in a 15 cm x 15 cm film sample, that was applied to an aluminium plate. The sample was then exposed to a temperature of 65°C for 48 hours. The maximum opening of the gash was measured. Test result : 0.3 mm maximum.
Abrasion resistance
Product applied to an aluminium plate and exposed to 7000 cycles using a Taber Abrader CS-17 with a 1 kg load weight. Test result : no pattern change
Heat resistance
Product applied to an aluminium plate and aged for 28 days at 65°C. Test result: minimal change to adhesion and film appearance.
Humidity resistance
Product applied to an aluminium plate and aged for 28 days at 40°C, 90% RH. Test result : minimal change to adhesion and film appearance.
Low temperature impact resistance
Product applied to an aluminium plate. Equipment used : Gardner Impact Tester. Drop height : 12.7 cm (5 “). Weight : 2 lb. Temperature : 4°C. Test result : no impact on the surface of the film.
Stain Resistance
Di-Noc™ Product applied to an aluminium panel and placed in direct contact with the substances listed at 200C, 65% RH. No effect. The substances were Milk, Coffee, Wine, Lemon juice, Tea, Vinegar, Soybean oil, Salt water (1%), Ammonium water, Soap water (1%), Synthetic detergent, Hydrochloric acid (10%), Sodium hydroxide (10%)
Flammability
Because of the wide variety of legislations, we’ve not listed the different certificates obtained. Please consult your 3M representative for getting more information on the specific certificates and test results, you are looking for.
Primer
Generally there is no need to use primer for standard application. In case the surface energy of the substrate is low or if the application is done on critical surfaces with sharp radium, DP 900N and WP 3000 primers can be used. High surface energy substrates such as metal don’t require usage of primers. Priming is required at any overlap and end / edge of the film, i.e. underneath the buttjoin. Consult the product and instruction bulletins for more detailed information.
Cleaning and maintenance
Use a soft textile with detergent and water. In case of heavy dirt accumulation use detergent and water at 70° to 80°C. In extreme situations, diluted 3M Film Cleaner can be used.
Shelf life and storage conditions
The fabricator may store unprinted film for a period of up to two years. Film and markings must be stored in a clean area, free from excessive moisture and direct sunlight, with ambient temperatures of 35°C or less.
Adhesion ( N / 25 mm)
Strips of film 25.4 mm x 180 mm were applied to various substrates and conditioned at 20°C, 65% RH for 24 hours. Each strip was then removed, using a tensile tester, by pulling the film back at 180° degree at a rate of 300 mm/minute.
* Material damage
Chemical Resistance
Product applied to an aluminium panel, conditioned for 72 hours and then immersed in the chemical agents mentioned below. Test Result shown below.
Product references with an outdoor sun symbol can be used for fleet applications on vertical flat and simple curved surfaces.
Horizontal applications of markings and stripings can be used for indoor decoration where no UV light is exposed. 3M does not recommend/ warrant outdoor application of DI-NOC™ products as horizontal applications, subject to maximum sunlight.
