Gerber Introduces 3M Laminating Adhesive 467MP and 468MP

SOUTH WINDSOR, CT – Gerber Scientific Products, a worldwide leader in sign making and specialty graphics systems headquartered in South Windsor, CT, introduces 3M Laminating Adhesive 467MP, available in two thicknesses, 2.3 mils thick (467MP) and 5.2 mils thick (468MP). Gerber is offering these laminating adhesives in response to customer feedback and requests from its Roadshow program. Both products are available in 12” width, ideally suited for application to EDGE produced decals and graphics.

3M Laminating Adhesives 467MP and 468MP compliment Gerber’s LexEDGE and Static Cling applications and provide the finish step in the production of decals using the Gerber EDGE FX because of their excellent performance characteristics:

• Clarity—they are virtually free of the vapor inclusions commonly found in the adhesives produced by the traditional solvent coating technique.
• Temperature performance.
• Shear strength—minimizes edge lifting and slippage of parts.
• Resistance to harsh environments—they can withstand splashes of organic solvents, weak acids, bases, salt water, cleaning solutions, germicidals, disinfectants, oils and other substances.
• They perform well after exposure to humidity and hot/cold cycles.
• They provide initial repositionability when bonding to plastic parts (not metal), allowing slight corrections when initial alignment is incorrect.
