Description
General Formulations GF 229HTR WallMark® Canvas 6.0 mil Matte White Embossed Vinyl with High-tack Removable Wall Adhesive
GF 229HTR is a 6.0 mil matte white semi-rigid vinyl film embossed with a canvas pattern. GF 229HTR has a unique and innovative pressure sensitive adhesive that is specially formulated to be both high-tack and removable (HTR). The combination of vinyl and adhesive is designed to stick aggressively to most surfaces, but is specially formulated to remove cleanly for up to a year. It’s also forgiving in the event you touch the adhesive to itself–it will separate cleanly and the adhesive stays anchored to the vinyl. The 90# layflat liner provides excellent stability for processing using solvent, latex and UV curable digital inks common to wide format digital printing systems.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use GF 229HTR on multiple surfaces?
GF 229HTR is designed for wall murals, decals and graphics for most types of smooth painted interior walls. This includes most flat, semigloss and gloss paint finishes. The surface must be smooth and clean prior to application. If applying to new paint consult the paint manufacturer for proper drying conditions before GF 229HTR application. The adhesive is suitable for glass, tile, OEM painted metal, and most low surface energy surfaces.
Can I print edge-to-edge with GF 229HTR?
Yes! A great improvement with this product over the traditional 229 WallMark Canvas is that the adhesive will hold with minimal shrinkage for full bleed graphics without the need for an unprinted border.
When paneling larger jobs, do I use overlaps or butt-seams with this product?
Installation methods vary by both installer and project, but we consider either method to be acceptable, and the thickness and rigidity of GF 229 WallMark® Canvas HTR makes it easy to align panels. Butt seams are preferred, and you can expect minimal shrink with interior applications. As a benefit of the HTR product, the adhesive allows for minimal overlap as the High Tack adhesive bonds aggressively to the textured face of the vinyl. If overlapping, we recommend at least ½” to 1” for overlapping panels.
