Gfp Mounting Adhesive Products
Flawless finish. Flexible applications. Superior Bond.
Gfp Mounting Adhesive Products are designed for the Graphic Arts Industry to provide quality, long-lasting performance for a wide range of digital print mounting applications. Clear and White Mount have 1 mil (25 ?) pressure-sensitive permanent solvent acrylic adhesive, with neutral pH value of 7. 0 applied to both sides of a carrier substrate.
Clear Mount – 1 mil (25?) Clear Polyester carrier coated two sides with clear solvent adhesive: one adheres to the back of a printed image, the other to a mounting board. It bonds the image to paper covered boards like Gatorfoam®, but forms a superior bond to low energy plastic surfaces like polystyrene, Sintra®, Gatorboard, and Ultraboard™. The single release liner is 75# (105 gsm) white paper coated both sides with moisture stabilizing PE and siliconized on the release side. Recommended for decaling printed images or pre-coating boards prior to mounting.
White Mount – 3 mil (75?) white Polypropylene carrier with 87% opacity reduces color shift when mounting to dark surfaces like Black Gatorboard. The carrier is coated two sides with 1 mil (25?) permanent aggressive water-based acrylic adhesive: one adheres to the back of the printed image, the other to all styles of mounting boards. The single release liner is 3 mil (76?) white paper coated both sides with moisture stabilizing PE and siliconized on the release side. Used for decaling printed images or pre-coating boards prior to mounting, it blocks bleed-through from images on dark mounting boards.
Front Mount – 1.4 mil (36?) Optically clear Polyester carrier coated two sides with clear permanent solvent adhesive: one side adheres to the front of the image, the other to the inside of a clear substrate. In this face mounting process, the image is viewed through a clear substrate like Plexiglas®, acrylic, polycarbonate, and glass. Front Mount has two 1.4 mil (36?) silicone-coated Polyester liners to ensure smooth adhesive surface without debris. It is used to display digital images or photographs and for backlit display applications. Recommended for promotional advertising, POP displays, touch screens, window graphics, or trade show exhibits requiring a see-through transparent surface.

Mounting Adhesive is suitable for short to medium term indoor or outdoor signage on flat or slightly curved surfaces with vertical exposure and application temperatures of 40° F to 176° F. Bond strength is dependent upon the amount of adhesive to the mounting surface contact that is developed. Firm application pressure and moderate heat will assist the adhesive in developing contact with the mounting surface. For optimum adhesive, the mounting surface must be clean and dry.
Durability estimates do not apply to the printed image. They are based on accelerated aging tests and outdoor exposure, under conditions experienced in vertical exposure and in “normal” temperate climates. Exposure to severe humidity and ultraviolet light as in Southern States or desert regions will cause rapid deterioration. This also applies to polluted areas, high altitude, horizontal and/ or south-facing exposure. Because of these varying climate conditions there is no standard outdoor life durability; it is only a reference for choosing the proper product.
