Managing the risk to adhesive graphics installation in extreme weather

Self-adhesive vinyls are very susceptible to extreme temperatures. They will naturally soften in the heat and toughen in the colder environment. Therefore big changes in temperature are likely to cause not just bubbles, but also de-lamination. In the worst cases, it could result in adhesive graphics falling from the surfaces.

In such conditions, Landor Phototex self-adhesive fabric is proven to be reliable and dependable. Its stable adhesive and fabric perform very well in both hot and cold environments, even though it has a relatively low tac compared to vinyl adhesives. However, most important of all is that it has very stable adhesive strength in all weathers.

In more than 15 years of distributing and installing Phototex, we have had merely a handful of calls during extreme weather. We can also assure our customers that Phototex is a proven and preferred product in both extreme heat and extreme cold conditions.
