The three new printable IJ180mC Print Wrap Films from 3M are designed to adhere to hard-to-bond surfaces, offering further design flexibility on vehicles
The firm has added three new films to its IJ180mC print wrap range for short-term and permanent vehicle graphics customisation. The new printable films from 3M have been specially designed to adhere to hard-to-bond surfaces including Low Surface Energy (LSE) plastic, powder coat paints and stainless steel.
A commentator from the company said: “The IJ180mC-10LSE Print Wrap Films from 3M has been specially designed for applying customised vehicle graphics wraps to challenging surfaces such as the LSE plastics commonly found on motocross bikes, snowmobile and ATVs.
“Also new to the range is the IJ180mC-10SLS, which has been expertly formulated to adhere to stainless steel applications, providing a further medium for graphics installers to complete potentially difficult installations and customisation projects. This film is ideal for applying promotional graphics to vehicles including tankers, caravans, horse trailers, refrigerated and food trucks.

“Finally the IJ180mC-10UR film is an ultra-removable print wrap film intended for short-term vehicle graphics where a fast and easy installation, and clean, simple removal without heat or chemicals is required. Applications include commercial vehicles and fleet graphics and buses, as well as general indoor and outdoor signage.”
The new films are 3D conformable for applying to flat to compound curved surfaces, rivets, and corrugations. They feature Comply Adhesive with micro technology, providing slideability, while an initial tack enables the installer to move the film across the application surface and reposition until the correct position is achieved.
