This 4-mil (100 micron) cast blockout lm is coated with acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive which facilitates applications over a wide range of temperatures. Initial adhesion, ultimate adhesion and shrinkage properties have been balanced to create a product that is easy to apply, and performs to user expectations. Optimum application temperatures are between 60°F and 90°F (15°C and 32°C), but may be extended by special preparation i.e., heat gun at below 40°F (4°C) and “wet” application at above 90°F (32°C).
