The soft, conformable, cast film lacks memory once installed, and reportedly can be stretched without lifting. When used with 3M’s Scotchcal™ 8580 gloss overlaminate, the company recommends the media for vehicle wraps and other applications with deep channels or severe curves.
3M is also introducing its IJ86E wall-decorating film that’s designed for UV inkjet or screenprinting for interior, wall-graphic applications. The 6-mil film incorporates an adhesive system that provides a strong bond, but allows graphic sliding and repositioning. During application, the company states its air-release channels permit quick, bubble-free installation.
