Adhesive Description:

NECAL 8197-X is a supported pressure sensitive adhesive that is used exclusively in “soft touch” applications.

Features:
NECAL 8197-X shows no adhesive ooze even after extensive aging.  Adhesion is good to most substrates including aluminum, steel, glass and many plastics including circuit board plastics.  Good initial bond will improve within a few hours or day to a superior bond.

Physical Properties:
Composition: Acrylic based adhesive
Release liner: Available with P or W liner
Thickness: Total construction 1.5 mils on each side
Scrim: X (indicates total thickness with polyester film.  Example: 8197-7 is a 4 mil polyester with 1.5 mils adhesive each side.)
Adhesion (PSTC-1 std.): Initial: 100-120 oz./in. Aged: 170-180 oz./in.
Tensile (Polyester to SS, 1 sq.in.): 130 p.s.i.
Shear adhesion (Polyester to SS, 1000 grams/sq.in.): 7 days +
Application temperature: 60°F Minimum
Service temperature range: 0°F minimum to 225°F maximum

Bonding Instructions:
Remove the release liner and apply mask to clean, dry substrate.  Use firm pressure to obtain maximum contact.  Use of air, hydraulic or mechanical bonding press is recommended with pressure of 40-60 p.s.i. with dwell time of 2-5 seconds.

Storage:
The shelf life of this material is al least two years when stored in a cool, dry place.
