Adhesive  layer material recommended options:

3M™ - High Performance Acrylic Adhesive is a popular choice, and industry standard, for graphic attachment and general industrial joining applications. It provides outstanding adhesion to metal and high surface energy plastics. This adhesive provides some initial repositionability for placement accuracy when bonding to plastics. It also performs well after exposure to humidity and hot/cold cycles.
  Up to 400⁰F short-term heat resistance 
 Excellent solvent resistance
  Excellent shear strength to resist slippage and edge lifting



Mactac™ -    Double sided filmic tapes 

Ideal for the assembly of a wide array of sub-assembly parts. Eliminates the need for metal fasteners or messy liquid glues.
Engineered for the most demanding bonding and laminating applications, double-coated tapes feature general-purpose and high-performance rubber-based and acrylic adhesives with polyester, polypropylene and tissue carriers.
With minimal increase in total product thickness, it provides lasting durability and long-term performance.



Ritrama - Mounting films simplifies the process of lamination of your graphic overlays materials and labels  to Plexiglas, clear plastics, glass and other similar substrates.
These mount films feature ultra-clear adhesives, coated to each side of optically clear polyester or polypropylene film. High quality release liners on both sides for polypropylenes and on one side for polyesters protect the adhesive layers conferring outstanding clarity to the adhesive layers
