Tech Notes

Application Temperatures

Adhesive activation

At 200 degrees F the adhesive on ParkLite ends up being active, permitting the covering to be attached to the design. While 200 degrees F will totally bond the to the design, it is well below the temperature level that causes ParkLite to shrink. This is exactly what's required when very first connecting covering to the design to avoid the covering from distorting.

Shrink Beginning temperature level - 280 degrees F

At 280 degree F ParkLite begins to shrink. This is called the shrink onset point. After the covering is attached utilizing an iron set to 200 degrees F, the next step is to shrink the covering. This initial shrinking is made with the iron set at 280 degrees F.

Maximum Shrinking Temperature level - 350 degrees F

At 350 degrees F, ParkLite reaches it's maximum shrinking point. Raising the temperature level above this will not cause it to shrink more.

This covering is not ideal for foam models since of the high shrinkage temperature.
