RB528X is a 4 mil matte opaque white, PVC film designed for the production of extremely permanent graphic applications. The product is coated on one side with 3 mils of an extremely aggressive permanent, specially blended, clear pressure sensitive adhesive which bonds to most smooth and moderately rough surfaces. The adhesive is protected with a 90# polycoated 2-side SuperFlat™ liner. The film face is 99% opaque and designed for excellent printability with solvent, eco-solvent, latex and UV-cured inkjet printers and is also printable with UV or solvent screen inks, UV offset and UV flexographic inks and is thermal transfer printable.

INTENDED FOR:Indoor and outdoor concrete surfaces like support pillars and smooth to slightly rough concrete or cinder block walls. Tough-to-adhere to applications including low surface energy plastics like polypropylene, polyesters and polyethylene, trash cans, storage bins, moderately pebbled surfaces, powder coated paint, stainless steel, name plates, and so much more!

DURABILITY: The outdoor durability of the unprinted film is 5 - 7 years on vertical surfaces.

LIMITATIONS:
1) REBEL X will result in a permanent application and will not be easily removed from most surfaces. Always test first in an inconspicuous area.
2) REBEL X on varnished surfaces and soft walls like stucco or drywall may damage the surface upon removal. Always test first in an inconspicuous area.
3) REBEL X is not intended to be used as a conformable wall wrapping film.
4) REBEL X is not intended as a vehicle wrap film.
1) The user is responsible for determining the product’s suitability, including adhesion and if needed, removal characteristics when used in applications other than listed specifically in this Performance Guide.
2) If there are any questions about applications, please contact your Mactac sales representative to discuss your requirements for recommendations.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Always test your combination of REBEL print media, inks and laminating films prior to commercial use.
1) Printing Conditions: Print in conditioned pressroom at ±73°F (23°C) and 50% RH. The maximum allowable ink saturation is 270%.
2) Drying Requirements: Solvent, Eco-solvent and Mild-solvent inkjet prints require 24 - 48 hr. drying time - open to the air. Inks do not dry when printed media is rolled up. The prints must be dry prior to lamination.
3) Laminating: lamination of the inkjet-printed graphics with PERMACOLOR® will help maintain and in some cases extend, the life of your graphic.
4) Transportation Conditions: To allow for easy transportation, REBEL X can be rolled up, with the image out, with a minimum diameter of 6 inches (15cm). During transportation or storage, avoid exposing them to extreme temperature and humidity changes.
5) Application Requirements: The surface must be dry, clean and in reasonably good condition.
a) REBEL X must be applied in dry conditions at temperatures above 40°F (10°C). Heat helps the adhesive flow to the surface to create a faster bond.
b) Please refer to TA2032 for proper surface preparation.
c) Bridge graphics over seams if needed; do not force the graphic down into the seam.
d) Use the ‘hinge’ application method. Since this is an aggressive adhesive, make sure you have your alignment right the first time. Measure twice, apply once.
e) The rougher the surface the less contact the adhesive will have and the less chance your graphic has for success. So on moderately rough surfaces use heat and pressure to conform the graphic into the surface. Once complete go back over all the entire graphic to get as much adhesive contact as possible with the surface.
f) If possible trim sharp corners to a rounded radius to help minimize the potential of edge lifting.
g) If needed, use a 1” overlap to seam the graphic.
