3M™ Scotchcal™ Graphic Films are transparent, screen-printable vinyl films for applying graphics and other visual elements to automotive metal, paint, basecoat/clearcoat and glass, reducing additional paint processes in automotive OEM applications. Premium cast 2.0 mil film is tested for resistance to chemicals and moisture and a clear pressure-sensitive adhesive delivers strong final adhesion.
Exterior-Grade Graphic Films for Automotive OEM
3M™ Scotchcal™ Graphic Films encompass four separate screen-printable and digitally-printable films, all designed specifically for applying graphics and visual elements to vehicle surfaces – including glass – without time-consuming paint processes in automotive OEM. These 2.0 mil, screen-printable vinyl films are tested for resistance to degradation from exposure to moisture, chemicals, sunlight and typical outdoor temperature ranges. A permanent acrylic adhesive delivers strong final adhesion to automotive exteriors. The films also maintain integrity when washed with common soaps and cleaners.
3M™ Scotchcal™ Graphic Films PN3344, PN4873 and PN5979AC are excellent for application to a range of metal, painted metal and automotive clearcoat/basecoat surfaces. 3M™ Scotchcal™ Glass Bonding Film WA-581 is designed for application of exterior glass graphics where moisture resistance is critical. Non-glass films feature a removable premask/application tape, and all include an adhesive-side release liner for efficient positioning and repositioning.
Recommended Applications
Scotchcal Graphic Film Series PN films are designed for robustness and integrity upon positioning, designed for exterior surfaces as well as where post-application is a requirement.
Better Science for Better Adhesion from 3M
Since 1925 when a 3M lab assistant invented masking tape, 3M has been applying science to life – developing adhesive products and technologies that help entire industries and individual businesses worldwide. The work that began with a single 3M engineer now spans decades and generations – and all of it goes into each 3M product developed for automotive OEMs, like 3M™ Scotchcal™ Graphic Films.
