Frequently asked questions
Do I need to use application tape with GF 220?
Most people have great success using the GF 220 without application tape. The added thickness of this product allows installers to handle this material easily. The dimensional stability also means that the product won’t stretch during application.
Is GF 220 Semi-Rigid good for bumper sticker applications?
Although you could use GF 220 for bumper sticker type applications, you generally would use a removable type of decal for ease of removal down the road. Permanent adhesives may have some degree of adhesive transfer depending upon the duration of the application.
What are some unique applications for permanent Semi-Rigid vinyls?
Semi Rigid films have good dimensional stability. If you match this feature with other high-quality laminates you can create signage for these types of applications: – A graffiti protected sign when laminated with GF 108 Tedlar™ by DuPont® anti-graffiti laminate. – A commercial grade dry erase board when laminated with GF 110 EraseMark Pro™ dry erase laminate.
