Lamination
The cold roll lamination method must be used when
applying Overlaminate 8580 to Graphic Film IJ380.
Proper ink drying after printing is very important to
minimize the risk of film lifting in recesses.
It is recommended to allow a minimum of 24 hours
after printing before laminating the graphics with
3M™ Scotchcal™ 8580 Overlaminate film.
Important Note:
Care must be taken not to create tension in the
overlaminate during the laminating process. Tension
will cause the flexible 8580 to stretch, especially at
higher ambient temperatures. This could result in the
graphic construction lifting when applied into deep
recesses.
Effective Performance Life
Performance statements are based upon representative
experience obtained from testing throughout Europe.
Actual performance will be determined by substrate
selection and preparation, maintenance of the marking
and the extremes of exposure conditions.
Warranted Durability
The 3M™ MCS™ warranty statement for 3m™
Scotchcal™ Overlaminate 8580 is based on the
combination with 3M™ Controltac™ Plus Graphic
