been laboratory tested on stainless steel and found to leave little to no adhesive residue at bake temperatures of
up to 300°F (149°C) for 30 minutes. The actual temperature and time performance may be higher or lower for a
given application and can vary due to substrate coatings and processing conditions (i.e. multiple bake cycles and the
temperature of the surface at removal). We suggest testing the product under your process conditions to determine if
it meets your needs.
