Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions has launched a new Hi-Tack, high performance adhesive paired with Avery Dennison Easy Apply technology, to help branded graphics remain intact in harsh, outdoor environments. Avery Dennison 900 Supercast and 700 High Performance opaque vinyls and MPI 2126 digital film are now available with the new Hi-Tack Easy Apply adhesive and Air-Egress technology combination. “Many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are recognizing the importance of prominently branding their products, such as recreational vehicles and commercial light and heavy duty equipment,” said Roxanne McSpadden, Marketing Director, Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions. “By offering Avery Dennison opaque and digital films with Hi-Tack adhesive and Easy Apply technology, companies have the opportunity to create new, dynamic decals and branding that will last longer.”
The new Hi-Tack adhesive allows the vinyl to adhere to challenging substrates that are often used by OEMs for consumer products such as 4x4s, boats and dirt bikes, as well as industrial machinery such as diggers and excavators. These recreational and industrial products often feature powder-coated paints, low-surface-energy plastics, fibreglass and glossy or matte finish protective clear coats. Hi-Tack Easy Apply adheres to these surfaces and provides long-term durability. Easy Apply Air-Egress technology makes equipment graphic installation on these surfaces quicker and reduces the likelihood of bubbles during application.
The following products are available with Hi-Tack Easy Apply adhesive:
- MPI 2126 digitally printable calendered film with a matte finish that’s durable up to six years.
- 900 Supercast films that are opaque, cast vinyl films. The new adhesive is available with black and white films, which can be screen-printed or sign-cut and are durable up to 12 years.
- 700 High Performance films that are opaque, calendered films which can be screen-printed or sign-cut and durable up to six years. Black and white films feature the new Hi-Tack Easy Apply adhesive.
Both the 900 Supercast films and 700 High Performance films come in a broad range of colours and finishes that can be custom ordered with Hi-Tack Easy Apply adhesive.
