Temperature-Resistant Films for Labelling and Protection

The relevant measure is the temperature profile of your application, rather than a maximum value alone. Specify temperatures during processing and service, how long each exposure lasts and whether the temperature cycles. The film, adhesive, release liner and substrate can respond differently. Review the product data for each listed article individually; the term “temperature-resistant” does not provide a uniform approval for every type of exposure.

A labelling film needs to keep information legible under its intended conditions, while a protective film performs a different task on the component or in the process. The range includes thermotransfer-printable 3M films in the 3922 series. Printing technology, substrate and temperature profile matter when choosing them. A protective task also requires you to define the type of exposure and desired removal. Suitability must be supported by the details of the specific product.

Describe the application, substrate, temperature profile and any additional stresses. For the supply form, specify the required width, shape and processing steps. Krückemeyer GmbH can cut suitable materials or make die-cut parts; whether the selected starting material retains the intended function after processing must be checked against material, geometry and use. Include any labelling requirement or later removal in your enquiry as well.

No. Temperature resistance, behaviour in a flame, thermal conductivity and heat protection are separate properties. A film's operating-temperature statement does not substantiate a fire-related property or a defined heat-transfer rate. A property of its carrier does not automatically apply to the adhesive, laminate or finished component. Define the required function and evidence first; you can then select a product described for that purpose and assess its suitability in the actual construction.
