Application Temperature levels

Adhesive activation

At 200 degrees F the adhesive on ParkLite ends up being active, allowing the covering to be connected to the design. While 200 degrees F will fully bond the to the design, it is well listed below the temperature that triggers ParkLite to shrink. This is precisely what's required when first connecting covering to the design to avoid the covering from distorting.

Shrink Beginning temperature - 280 degrees F

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

Maximum Shrinkage Temperature level - 350 degrees F

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

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

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