These polymeric calendered films can be used, in combination with the designated protecting overlaminate, to
produce outstanding resistant graphics for floors.
3M™ Controltac™ minimizes the initial contact area of the adhesive and allows the applicator to reposition the
graphic during application.
This effects easier installation of large formats in a wide temperature range.

Flat, or rolled film side out on 130 mm (5 inch) or larger core. These methods help to prevent the liner from
wrinkling or application tape, if used, from popping off.
A too high total physical ink amount on the film results in media characteristic changes, inadequate drying,
overlaminate lifting, and/or poor graphic performance. The maximum recommended total ink coverage for this
film is 270%.
Inadequate drying can result in graphic failure including curling, increased shrinkage and adhesion failure,
which are not covered under warranty. Build enough time into your process to ensure adequate drying of the
graphic.
Poorly dried film becomes soft and stretchy, and the adhesive becomes too aggressive. 3M recommends at
least a minimum drying time of 24 hrs before further processing. Dry the graphic unrolled or at least as a loose
wound roll standing upright.
3M Commercial Graphics Division products are not tested against automotive manufacturer specifications!
Film has to be protected with the recommended protective overlaminate to provide the needed skid
resistance.
Place the floor graphic far enough away from entryways that they stay dry.
Graphic protection can improve the appearance, performance and durability of printed graphics. Any printed
graphic exposed to abrasive conditions (including vehicles), harsh cleaners or chemicals must include graphic
protection in order to be warranted.
See instruction bulletin GPO ‘graphic protection options’ for further information about selection and use of
protective overlaminates and printable clears.
To create a graphic for floors this film has to be protected with the recommended overlaminate. No printable
clear available!
