10 Mil White Opaque Backer
10 Mil White Opaque Backer is a white opaque, co-polymer film with an optically clear high-performance, permanent, pressure-sensitive adhesive designed to be applied to thinner print films for added stability and color pop. It can instantly make graphics printed in reverse on a clear film look brighter and whiter, because the opaque white surface helps to offset yellow and gray color shifts that can occur with printed clear films.The solvent-based, acrylic adhesive is acid-free, and pH neutral for extended use without yellowing or fading. 10 Mil White Opaque Backer is ideal for pop-up booth graphics that are applied to fabric panels.

| Laminator Compatibility | Recommended that your laminator be equipped with a release liner take-up reel. Use a rigid sled (1/8" or thicker) such as polycarbonate, acrylic, Masonite or aluminum. This will ensure consistent pressure across the web. Apply a release liner to your sled to prevent adhesive build-up. Use strong tape, such as packaging tape, to attach the entire width of the leading edge of the graphic to the sled. |
| Laminator Settings | Apply 90-120°F (38°C) to help the adhesive flow, which will produce a more consistent adhesion to the print. Apply 80-100 psi and use 2-3 feet per minute for dwell time depending on the application. Your top and bottom web tension should be minimal to prevent curling of the graphic. |
| Finishing | After applying the laminate, allow the panel to lay flat for a minimum of 2 hours before trimming, or rolling. The adhesive fully sets in 24 hours. |
