Application Materials
Application Tape

ORATAPE® MT95/HT95/LT95
The special construction of the polyacrylate adhesive in this material enables unproblematic transfer of die-cut and computer-cut letters andsymbols. Even after more than 6 months of application, a residueless removal without any considerable increase in adhesive strength has
been proven. The high tensile strength of the film ensures precise positioning. These application films are great for almost all well-known
types of glossy or matt-finished films. ORATAPE® MT95 with its medium-strength adhesive has been developed for special uses requiringa highly transparent application material. ORATAPE® HT95 comes with a high tensile strength and ORATAPE® LT95 is ideal for special uses
which require a lower adhesive power for the transfer of decorations. It is the recommended tape for applications of plotted films applied toinner walls, e.g. ORACAL® 638 and ORAJET® 3628.

Application Tape

ORATAPE® MT80P
The specially adjusted polyacrylate adhesive of the ORATAPE® MT80P allows residueless removal without any major increase in adhesivestrength even after over 6 months. The high elongation stability of the front material ensures exact positioning. ORATAPE® MT80P is recommended for all applications that require a repeated use of the film tape.

Application Papers

ORATAPE® MT72/MT52/LT52/LT72
Both application materials ORATAPE® MT52 and MT72 have been designed for use with nearly any type of film that has a smooth and mattsurface. With its high dimensional strength and good durability even in wet application, MT72 is up for the most demanding jobs.
The application papers ORATAPE® LT52 and LT72 with their ultra removable adhesive on the basis of natural rubber are particularly well
suited for applications using the dry method. These semi-transparent application papers are used to transfer die-cut or computer-cut
lettering and symbols.
A natural rubber adhesive developed specifically for this series, ensures both a fast bond to the items while transferred and a flawlessremoval following the application.
Reliable application tapes are required when computer-cut films are to be professionally and quickly applied.
ORAFOL has developed application materials for a great variety of demands and uses.

Notes on Processing and Handling
Introduction
The following general tips are given for application of ORAFOL® Plotter
Materials. If you want to apply plotter material on a car, please also
see our practical information for self-adhesive films for application on
cars (Download: www.orafol.com). ORAFOL recommends using only
material with the same batch number for one graphic application. In thiscontext ORAFOL ensures that every film roll consists of material of thesame batch number and consequently does not have any splice. Whendifferent batch numbers are used the technician should make tests tofind out possible differences in using the films and in the quality of thegraphic application.
Storage and processing conditions
ORACAL®, ORAMASK®, ORALITE® and ORATAPE® self-adhesive
products are supplied in rolls which should at all times be stored either
suspended or standing on the roll blocks provided in a cool, dry place
protected from sunlight. Prior to processing, the self-adhesive films
should be accommodated to the humidity and temperature prevailingin the processing area. Relative humidity between 40% and 50% andtemperatures in the range of +18º C to +22º C are considered ideal.
Extreme variations of the above conditions could lead to expansion or
shrinkage of the protective paper. The result is insufficient flatness of theself-adhesive material and dimensional changes in the cuts. Please referto the storage instructions provided in the technical data sheet included
with each roll.
Preparing the surface
The high-quality special adhesives used for ORACAL® self-adhesivematerials create an excellent bond with just about any clean, smooth
and weatherproof surface which is free from grease, wax and silicone.
Prior to applying the ORAFOL® self-adhesive products, clean the surface
thoroughly with isopropanol and wipe it dry with a cloth. Gas bubbles
may form between the film and the surface if any solvent residue remains
as a result of improper cleaning or if the lacquer on the surface is too
fresh. Allow at least three weeks to elapse before applying the film tolacquer which has been air-dried or baked. Isopropanol is recommended
as the cleaning agent, as other agents may, under certain circumstances,
attack the lacquer or reduce the adhesive strength of the film. For
surfaces which tend to outgas, such as polycarbonate products, werecommend the following steps. Clean the surface, apply a piece offilm and store it at + 60º C for about 24 hours. If after this time bubbles
have formed in the bond, outgassing is still taking place. In such a case,the plastic material must be thermally treated or stored under room
conditions for a longer period. When using ORAMASK® plotter films, it isimportant that the surfaces receiving the designs are thoroughly cleaned.
Isopropanol is preferred for cleaning lacquered surfaces and vehicle
tarpaulins. When used on those surfaces (tarpaulins in particular), thespirit should be removed as soon as possible after cleaning to prevent
it from penetrating into the surface coating. Be sure to allow sufficient
time for the solvent to evaporate after cleaning. For jobs calling for multicoloured designs, make absolutely sure that the ORAMASK® plotter films
are only applied onto paint which is thoroughly dry. Residual solvents
may cause residue from the adhesive to remain after the stencil film isremoved.
Application temperatures
The application should be at the temperature mentioned in therespective data sheet. A significant drop in temperature should be
avoided during the first 24 hours after adhesion. Should a temperaturedrop nonetheless occur, we recommend treating the film with hot air
from a hot-air gun.
Removing silicone paper
Lay the cut plotter film with the film side down on a flat surface. Pullback only as much silicone paper as required to begin mounting.
Always draw the silicone paper from the film, never the other way round.

Application
ORAFOL recommends to use only material with the same batch
number for the same colour. There are two major methods ofapplication: dry and wet adhesion.
For dry adhesion, first position the film cut and press it at one corner on
the surface. Then adhere the remainder by applying a plastic squeegee
across the film in overlapping sweeps. Depending on the size of the cut
being mounted , the silicone paper may be removed completely before
bonding or gradually during the procedure. When using ORATAPE®
application paper or film, pull these slowly away from the film at a 180°
angle.
Wet adhesion should only be done in warm weather when temperatures
are at least +18º C. Spray the exposed adhesive side with low-surfacetension water (water mixed with a flushing agent) and lay it upon
the receiving surface. The ease of precise positioning is the great
advantage of the wet adhesion method. Press the film to the surface
using sweeping, overlapping motions. Make sure that the water iscompletely squeezed out from between the surface and the adhesive.
For wet adhesion, we recommend ORATAPE® MT72 application paper.
After a short drying period, remove application paper carefully at a
180° angle. Slightly moistening the back side of the application paper
makes this procedure even easier. The bond is improved if the film ispressed again to the surface after a few hours. To avoid differencesin perceived colour after adhesion, ORACAL® coloured films should
always be worked and adhered in one direction only. When mounting
across overlapping sheets of metal or expansion joints, use a sharpknife to separate the film at these points so that the film does not comeloose when exposed to motion. Different background profiles are usedin vehicle construction. When applying films to such backgrounds,
always follow the profile. Never just lay out the film and press it under
tension into the recess. With overlapping film adhesion, it is important
to make sure that the edges of the sheets overlap by minimum 4 mm
and a maximum of 12 mm. When applying film to film, make absolutely
sure that only films of the same manufacturer of the same type are put
on top of each other (monomeric film on monomeric film, and polymericfilm on polymeric softened film). Caution! Certain thermal insulation
glazing systems may be damaged by self-adhesive films due to thermal
stress caused by extreme temperature fluctuations.
Application on cars
For application on cars please see in addition the practical information
on how to apply self-adhesive films on cars. For the application on car
windows the remarks in the practical information for application on cars
are to be followed.
Removability
Environment and surface temperature must be at least +20º C before
these films can be removed. Using a knife, start by lifting up cautiously
one corner of the film. Then slowly draw the film from the surface at
a 180° angle. Heating the film with a hot-air gun while pulling makes
removal considerably easier. If the film being removed is very old, asmall amount of residue from the adhesive may remain on the surface. It
can be removed easily with varnish thinner.
This information is based on our knowledge and experience. We havenot explained all considering aspects of application. Specialised or
occupational knowledge and competence of a professional sign maker
are presupposed. Due to the diversity of potential influencing factors
during application and use, we recommend to conduct own testsof our products by customers who wish to use the films for special
applications. No legally binding warranty of certain qualities can bederived from our information.
