Polyonics launches materials for automotive applications

Posted in New Products on March 11, 2010

Polyonics has launched two label materials, the XF-592 (polyimide) and XF-807 (aluminum), for use in ‘under the hood’ applications for the automotive industry which are aimed at providing extra durability. 

Automotive applications expose labels to high temperatures, abrasion and harsh chemicals that can cause them to yellow, shrink and fall off.  

The XF-592 is a polyimide label with a high temperature aggressive acrylic adhesive and a high opacity white topcoat designed for barcode or alphanumeric identification. The aggressive pressure sensitive adhesive on this product is specifically designed to adhere to rough surfaces (i.e., engine blocks) where high temperatures occur. 

The XF-807 is an aluminum label material with a permanent high-temperature acrylic adhesive and a high opacity, white topcoat specifically designed for thermal transfer printing. The aluminum face sheet is said to provide excellent long term temperature and impact resistance over polymeric films. 

These materials are compliant with the REACH & RoHS initiatives and are Halogen free.
