High-Bond Matte Silver Polyester
For industrial & decorative applications.

GMS High-Bond adhesive bonds most surfaces including to hard-to-stick-to surfaces such as powder paint and low energy plastics.

High-Bond Matte Silver Polyester.

Specially formulated for thermal transfer printers: Our line of polyesters are surface treated for excellent transfer of thermal ribbons and fine detail printing.

Applications: Matte silver is great for general durable labels and decals. Matte silver has a classic aluminum name plate look and in many cases performs better than aluminum name plates for many reasons.

High-Bond Polyester's ability to withstand 300+ degree temperatures make it a better choice than vinyl or paper for industrial applications such as decorative control panels, decals, and striping. Pair High-Bond polyesters with compatible laminates such as our "Wet Look" or "Tuff-Cover" for more durable abrasion resistant products that take on the look of the laminate.

Recent application: We recently had an automotive manufacturer test this product with Tuff-Cover laminate as an alternative to aluminum name plates.

It was tested with everything from hydraulic oil to sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid turned the laminate brown but the copy was still readable. Tuff-Cover is an amazingly durable laminate. And it was much harder to remove our material than the aluminum riveted name plate and not leave evidence of tampering. It is also less expensive in-house by 70%.

Well suited for doming: Due to our moisture resistant liner that "lays flat" after printing and cutting, it's easy to use doming processes to finish the product.

Formats: High-Bond polyesters are stocked in formats for the Gerber and Matan printers. Spec sheets are sent with each roll and MSDS's are available upon request.

Recognized by UL Become a recognized printer

UL Recognition: Graphic Marking Systems now has UL recognition on 7 High-Bond polyesters with Gerber foils, Duracoat foils, and Matan foils. This means that the ribbons are recognized "in combination" with GMS polyesters. They are also recognized "in combination" with GMS laminates.

What is UL Recognition? UL recognition means that Underwriters Laboratories has performed durability and/or tolerance tests and have documentation to back it up. Periodic testing keeps the recognition up to date. Therefore UL recognizes that the claims of product durability and readability are as stated. Consumer products that are UL recognized are often required to use UL recognized label materials.
