Description
ColorTrans PRODUCT: CT2100 PERMACOLOR®
The Permacolor system is a series of pressure sensitive products for mounting and protecting in
the imaging industries. Pressure sensitive Permacolor provides fast, efficient processing through
cold roll lamination techniques without the need for heat, drying or messy coating operations.
ColorTrans CT2100 is an economical, thin, clear polyester film coated on both sides with a
clear acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive. A polyester release liner that protects each side permits
complete visual inspection of the product, easy liner removal and a distortion-free adhesive
surface.This optically clear, two-side coated film was designed for face-mounting and back-mounting
transparencies to Plexiglas® and other clear or transparent substrates for both indoor and outdoor
applications. CT2100 helps protect mounted images from fading caused by ultra-violet (UV)
light exposure. Although designed primarily for mounting photographic transparencies for backlit applications, CT2100 can be used wherever superior clarity and smoothness are required.

GENERAL COMMENTS
⇒ Where exposure to chemicals, solvents or high pressure wash is anticipated, MACtac
recommends sealing the edges with varnish, silicone or other sealant to prevent penetration
by these liquids.
⇒ Prints should not be applied onto dusty, dirty, oily or oxidized surfaces.
⇒ The mounting board must be properly prepared prior to mounting the image. This may
include wiping with alcohol, light sanding or surface sealing depending on the board.
Contact your board supplier for their recommendation.
⇒ MACtac's pressure sensitive mounting films are intended for "Cold Roll Lamination" (50°F -
120°F). The addition of heat while simultaneous mounting with Thermal Overlaminates may
result in curl or have other detrimental effects on the finished product.
⇒ Whenever possible, always test first to ensure end-use suitability.
SHELF LIFE
Two years when stored at 75°F (24°C) and 50% relative humidity or less. Note: MACtac
recommends that rolls be stored on end or suspended from the core.
