Flexcon Launches Flexcon Walldeco 6780 With Microsphere Repositionable, Removable Adhesive

Graphic Installation is Improved with Multiple Repositionability of Graphics

FLEXcon Company, Inc., an innovator in adhesive coating and laminating, today announced the launch of FLEXcon WALLdeco 6780, a white vinyl with a microsphere repositionable, removable adhesive for short-term, indoor wall graphic applications.

Microsphere adhesive technology differs from standard pressure-sensitive adhesive technology in that micron-sized spheres are introduced to a binder adhesive system that holds the various, randomly located spheres together as well as to the adhesive. The binder ensures that the spheres stay with the film carrier during application and removal. When applied, the spheres are activated and compressed against the application surface. These spheres create an uneven topography of the coating. With each removal and reapplication to the wall surface, either existing spheres are reactivated, or new spheres are activated with the compression.

“Microsphere adhesive technology allows for continuous re-application of the graphics, and peel and tack performance are consistent upon each re-use,” says Bekie Berg, product manager, FLEXcon. “Graphics, if stored properly, can even be reused.”

WALLdeco 6780 is great for home décor, retail P-O-P displays, interior wall decorations, advertising, and murals. Both the film and adhesive have been tested on smooth flat painted wallboard to ensure application success. The 6 mil vinyl provides the body needed for easy installation and removal for novices with fewer air bubbles, saving time, money, and rework. The film also provides excellent printability via UV and solvent screen, UV and solvent inkjet, and UV offset, and the stay flat liner ensures ease of processing.

WALLdeco 6780 is currently in inventory and ready to be finished and shipped. It is available in 54” masters and 54" x 150' pre-slit rolls. It can also be slit and sheeted to converter specifications.
