Tech Notes

Application Temperatures

Adhesive activation

At 200 degrees F the adhesive on ParkLite ends up being active, enabling the covering to be connected to the design. While 200 degrees F will completely bond the to the design, it is well below the temperature level that triggers ParkLite to diminish. This is exactly what's required when very first attaching covering to the design to prevent the covering from distorting.

Shrink Beginning temperature level - 280 degrees F

At 280 degree F ParkLite begins to diminish. This is called the diminish onset point. After the covering is attached using an iron set to 200 degrees F, the next action is to diminish the covering. This preliminary shrinking is finished with the iron set at 280 degrees F.

Maximum Shrinking Temperature - 350 degrees F

At 350 degrees F, ParkLite reaches it's maximum diminishing point. Raising the temperature level above this will not trigger it to diminish more.

This covering is not suitable for foam models because of the high shrinkage temperature.

Please checked out the guidelines included with each roll of ParkLite for the total application guidelines and pro-user tips.
