Application Techniques
To obtain maximum adhesion, surfaces must be unified, dry, and free of contaminants. Surface contact is essential
to adhesive performance. To maximize contact on a substrate:
• Clean surfaces with low strength solvent such as isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) or heptane.*
• Apply firm pressure to help increase the cold flow and contact of the adhesive with the substrate.
• Allow time (dwell) to increase the surface contact and adhesion (see illustrations below).
*Note: Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s precautions and directions for use when using solvents.
Environmental Exposure
Colored and transparent 3M™ Bumpon™ Protective Products are intended for interior applications where
resilience and other physical properties will remain unchanged. When exposed to UV light for extended periods
some slight discoloration or yellowing may occur.
Bumpon products may be used outdoors in a protected area with some discoloration possible; colored Bumpon
products may chalk.
Simultaneous exposure to high humidity and temperature may degrade (soften) the Bumpon product urethane.
