20 SaviTag ST-614/ST-615 Installation Guide
Technology recommends for mounting SaviTags is 3M Corporation’s
Automotive Acrylic Plus Attachment Tape.
For ease of installation, during manufacturing Savi installs this PST on the
back of the tag. PST mounting kits are also available for separate purchase.

Preparing the Surface for PST Application
PST is suitable for almost any smooth, flat surface made of metal or plastic.
Metal surfaces may be coated with most paints, including Chemical Agent
Resistant Coating (CARC). It is, however, extremely important that you
follow proper surface preparation to enable optimal adhesion.
PST is not intended for attachment to wooden surfaces because of the
surface roughness of wood, and the wicking of rain or spray through wood
fiber. Screws are the preferred mounting method for wooden surfaces.
PST surface preparation is a simple, but critical process. The surface
cleaning procedure on page 21 demonstrates how to clean a shipping
container that has greasy residue and dirt on the intended mounting
surface as shown in Figure -4.

This demonstration was performed at about 50 degrees Fahrenheit on a
mounting surface covered with moisture and condensation. The optimum
mounting surface temperature for PST application is 60 degrees Fahrenheit
or above. At this temperature full adhesion strength will be achieved within
