- Environmentally preferred polyolefin film with no polyvinyl chloride or monomeric plasticizers in its construction and made with less solvent in manufacturing when compared to traditional solvent-based adhesive products.
- Luster finish.
Scotchcal™ Luster Overlaminate 8908
and Matte Overlaminate 8909
A good choice for the environment!
Product Description These overlaminates are a good choice for many short-term digitally-imaged or screen
printed graphics used indoors or outdoors with the exceptions noted below. Refer to the
Product Bulletin for the base film you are using to determine suitability.
3M’s Environmental Solutions 3M recognizes that sustainability involves much more than a product offering. You can learn
about 3M’s ISO certification, EHS Management system, 3P program, LCM review and other
sustainability programs at www.3m.com/sustainability. These programs exemplify how 3M
strives to responsibly operate in a manner that can help make the world we live in a better
place. That is why the Dow Jones Sustainability Index has included 3M in the index for 9
consecutive years.
3M is also taking steps at the product level by offering new alternatives such as 3M™
Scotchcal™ Graphic Film IJ35E and overlaminates 8908 and 8909, which are polyolefin
films and have no monomeric plasticizers or polyvinyl chloride in their constructions and are
made with less solvent in manufacturing when compared to traditional solvent based
adhesive products. Chloride free constructions such as these eliminate halogen related
disposal concerns. When printed with UV ink, VOC emissions associated with solvent inks
are dramatically reduced, resulting in a graphic construction that has less impact on the
environment.
Limitations This product is not recommended for use with flexible substrates, vinyl film used in fleet,
truck or vehicle graphics, reflective film, or graphics applied to walls, corrugations or
graphics exposed to petroleum vapors or spills. Premasked graphics cannot be subjected to
heat.

Related Literature at the end of this document.
Lamination Apply by the squeeze roll method, which uses no heat. Both heat and tension can cause the
overlaminate to curl. Observe the Lamination temperature range discussed on page 2.
Refer to Instruction Bulletin 4.22 lamination procedures
Do not over stretch the film; excessive stretching causes the overlaminate to appear white.
Cutting The common cutting methods for films protected with this overlaminate are hand cutting
and cold and hot steel-rule die cutting. Use care not to stretch the graphic when cutting it.
Refer to Instruction Bulletin 4.1 for more details.
Application Tape Application tape is not required for most graphics with this overlaminate. Refer to
Instruction Bulletin 4.3 for more details.
Do not apply heat to the graphic until the premasking tape is removed. If the overlaminate is
heated while applying rivets, the overlaminate will lose gloss. Excessive heat will cause the
overlaminate to curl.
Maintenance and Cleaning Use a cleaner such as the kind used for high-quality painted surfaces. The cleaner must be
wet, non-abrasive, without strong solvents or alcohol, and have a pH value between 3.0 and
11.0 (neither strongly acidic nor strongly alkaline).
Shelf Life, Storage and Shipping
Shelf Life Total shelf life: 2 years from the date on the original box
Up to 2 years unprocessed, OR process within 1 year and apply within 1 year of processing
Storage Conditions • 40° to 100°F (4° to 38°C)
• Out of sunlight
• Clean dry area
• Original container
• Bring the film to print room temperature before using
Shipping Finished Graphics Flat, or rolled printed side out on 5 inch (13 cm) or larger core. This helps prevent the liner
and, if used, the application tape from popping off.
