Laminating Adhesive

A 3.5 mil. laminating tape featuring 300LSE hi-strength acrylic adhesive on a polycoated liner used for nameplates, graphic overlays, membrane switches and identification material. When 9453LE tape is properly applied, nameplate and decorative trim parts will hold securely after exposure to numerous chemicals including oil, mild acids and alkalis. The bond strength increases as a function of time and temperature and offers very high initial adhesion.
