Application Temperature levels

Adhesive activation

At 200 degrees F the adhesive on ParkLite ends up being active, permitting 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 shrink. This is exactly what's needed when very first attaching covering to the design to prevent the covering from distorting.

Shrink Onset temperature level - 280 degrees F

At 280 degree F ParkLite begins to shrink. This is called the shrink beginning point. After the covering is attached using an iron set to 200 degrees F, the next step is to shrink the covering. This preliminary shrinking is done 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 level above this will not trigger it to shrink 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.
