GMNA GM6073M PDF

This specification covers the performance requirements of exterior decorative striping and graphics with pressure sensitive adhesive and suitable liner. GM6073M film is intended for exterior decal applications, such as striping, ornamentation, etc., and may include premasks for ease of application, protection during application, or paintable premasks. Typical examples are shown in Figure 1. GM6074M is intended for exterior wood grain film. In addition, this specification covers the performance requirements of exterior paint film with pressure sensitive adhesive and suitable liner. The paint film is intended for exterior applications as a substitute for two-tone paint.

Material Description.

Types IA and IB films are used for accent stripes (pin stripes), blackout films and inserts. These types are supplied with a 0.025 mm thick pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA).

Type II films include usage in various graphic packages, legends, accent/two-tone stripe end caps, inserts, and door handle tapes. These types are supplied with a 0.025 mm thick pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA).

Types IIIA and IIIB films include usage in various graphics packages, legends, and woodgrains. These types are supplied with a 0.025 mm thick pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA).

Types IVA and IVB films include two-tone stripes. These types are supplied with a 0.025 mm thick pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA).

Types VA and VB films include low profile individual letters and emblems, approximately 1 mm thick. They are available in various colors, and bright (chrome, gold, satin chrome, etc.).

Type VA uses a 0.30 mm thick gray acrylic foam tape coated on both sides with an acrylic PSA.

Type VB uses a 0.125 mm thick acrylic PSA.

Types VI and VII films are used as two-tone replacements and as blackout films. These high performance films (PVDF/acrylic based) are supplied with a 0.025 mm thick pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA).

Remarks.

These films have limited gravel and abrasion resistance. (Use GM6254M for gravel and abrasion resistant films). Applications to body panels requiring specific damage resistance must be tested to establish acceptable design application of the decal. Types IB and IVB have limited weathering resistance. Their usage is limited to semi-protected areas, unless weathering performance can be demonstrated with long term Florida and Arizona weathering.
