ORACAL 551 High Performance Cal
Description
High-performance PVC film with outstanding dimensional stability and excellent cutting and converting properties. Glossy surface, additionally in matt white and matt black.
Release paper
Silicone coated paper on one side, 137 g/m², which provides excellent waste-stripping properties. For white vinyl a light blue silicone paper is used to form a stronger contrast to lettering.
Adhesive
Solvent polyacrylate, permanent
Area of use
Specially developed for the use on cutting plotter systems for lettering, marking and decoration with high requirements for durabillity and solidity. Particularly suitable for high-quality vehicle and public transport system advertising. Glossy surface is additionally suitable for thermal transfer printing (with resin ribbons).

Attention:
Surfaces to which the material will be applied must be thoroughly cleaned from dust, grease or any contamination which could affect the adhesion of the material. Freshly lacquered or painted surfaces should be allowed to dry for at least three weeks and to completely cure respectively. The compatibility of selected lacquers and paints should be tested by the user, prior to application of the material. Furthermore the application information published by ORAFOL is to be considered. The batch traceability according to ISO 9001 is possible on the basis of the roll number.
