Frequently Asked Questions
What is greyback monomeric vinyl?
It is a self-adhesive film with a grey adhesive for covering up old graphics with no show-through. The thin, waterproof vinyl lasts 1-3 years outdoors and is also ideal for indoor installations on flat and slightly curved surfaces.
What is monomeric greyback vinyl made from?
Most monomeric grey adhesive vinyl is flexible PVC (polyvinyl chloride) treated with stabilisers to improve printability. The adhesive is usually either a solvent or aqueous acrylic adhesive, while the liner is typically made from clay-coated silicone paper.
What are the different types of monomeric grey adhesive vinyl?
There are several categories, including temporary and permanent adhesive vinyl, low and high-tack adhesive vinyl, greyback and blackback, and matte and gloss vinyl. We recommend removable adhesives if you need to remove the graphics cleanly.
What are the applications of grey adhesive monomeric vinyl?
It is perfect for internal and external graphics on metal, painted metal, glass, wood, plastics, and composites. Typical applications include signage, window stickers, advertisements and product labels.
How to install monomeric vinyls with grey adhesive
Clean the surface and ensure it is sound with no loose material. Remove the liner and line the vinyl up. Stick it down in the middle, and holding a squeegee at a 45-degree angle, use steady strokes to bond the vinyl to the substrate.
