Description
This MHA (Multi-Heat Adhesive) is an economical, heat activated mounting adhesive with a moisture-stable release liner. MHA's initial tack is very low, making it easy to apply. This feature allows most prints to be repositioned on MHA pre-coated boards without damage. Once satisfied with the alignment, process the graphic and board through a heated roll laminator (185 F - 220 F / 85 C - 140 C) for a permanent bond. The MHA's forgiving nature has made it a popular product with photographers for thinner "bond papers" such as graphic renderings, drawings, blueprints, color copies, courtroom displays, etc. Although MHA's initial tack is low, the bond insitantly becomes permanent once processed through a heated roll laminator. It is therefor suitable for flexible and rollable substrates such as expanded PVC graphic materials (e.g. Sintra).
Features:
- When Mounting thicker prints/ output it is recommended to increase the temperature of the heated laminator rollers to a minimum of 200 F while reducing laminator feed speed to ensure sufficient heat permeates through the print image, board and (optional) overlaminating film to activate the MHA adhesive
- We do not recommend using the laminator's idler bar when applying MHA
- MHA only works on heated roller laminators, not hot-shoe style laminators

Technical Data
Typical Applications
- Recommended for mounting of canvas, where the back of the canvas and the substrate to be used are both coated with MHA and married together for a very strong bond.
- Ideal for mounting images on MDF to create plaques; can be trimmed and foiled without the images lifting.
- Suitable for manufacturing processes to create a strong bond between two substrates.
