This article will review the value propositions provided by these products over more conventional technologies. Emphasis will be on demanding applications in the transportation area. Specification for various types of pressure sensitive graphic films is provided, and several examples of challenging applications (e.g., vehicle and aircraft appliqués) are discussed. Pressure sensitive adhesives based on acrylic polymers have been the choice for manufacturing self-adhesive films that are used in the graphic arts industry.
