10525 Kool Tack 5mm Dry Mount Adhesive Foam Board 1020mm x 810mm 1 sheet

Kool Tack Acid-free 5mm rigid foam board with heat-activated dry mount adhesive coating

This 5.0mm Kool Tack foam board is great for general framing tasks, signage, presentations and displays. The special heat-activated adhesive of Kool Tack bonds paper and thin card quickly at low temperatures.

Works with most heated flat bed, mechanical and vacuum presses. Use it for general mounting work in picture framing workshops, display studios and similar.

+ Face has extra smooth white paper liner coated with heat-activated dry adhesive, pH neutral for long life.

+ Kool Tack adhesive has a short dwell time of around 30-45 seconds, quicker than some other boards. Works with most heated flat bed, mechanical and vacuum presses. The low bonding temperature of 75°C helps minimise rippling of the art during bonding of paper and occasional discoloration of inks. Both settings will be determined with experience.

+ Board core is white polystyrene foam, back has smooth white paper liner

+ Board thickness: 5mm

+ Board size: 1020mm x 810mm

+ The low bonding temperature helps minimise rippling of the paper and discoloration of inks. Pulpboard absorbs more adhesive than clay coat boards.

+ Kool Tack is reversible and can be re-used up to three times with care. This gives peace of mind and can reduce wastage should errors occur

+ The adhesive face has minimal tack at room temperature, helping to minimise dust on the surface. Kool Tack boards should be stored flat, covered, at room temperature and average humidity.

+ Easy to cut to size with a blade cutter
