DPF 8000X Ultra Tack
Industrial Grade Digital Print Pressure-Sensitive Film with X-Scape Technology
DPF 8000X is a 3.5-mil (90 micron) satin white, high-tensile, PVC film with aggressive, permanent pressure-sensitive
adhesive. Designed for indoor and outdoor graphics, DPF 8000X is made of 100% industrial-grade face stock
with an air egress polycoated liner. The special adhesive system is designed to stick to “hard-to-stick” surfaces
and low energy surfaces. The x-scape system allows installers to achieve speedy installation, while ensuring long
term bond. The film conforms well to flat surfaces with slight contours when processed and applied according to
Arlon recommendations. DPF 8000X is rated for outdoor durability up to 7 years* (unprinted). Printed durability is
dependent on the ink system used.

or Series V3370 overlaminates
GRAPHICS REMOVAL
Remove the film in a continuous smooth motion at a shallow angle for the fastest separation. Where it is practical, two
people on the removal make the job go far faster than using just one. With one person working the heating unit in front
of the second person who is peeling film, the job proceeds at a uniform and consistent pace. Where only one person is
working there will be constant starting and stopping in addition to the problems of the heat being very inconsistent.
REMOVAL RECOMMENDATIONS
- Temp range 55°F (13°C) or higher. If environment temperature is lower than 55°F (13°C), heat gun or blow torch should be used.
- Film removal angle >90 degrees from vertical wall.
- Removal rate: slow (1 in/sec) and constant pull of graphics towards the ground.
