Many stadiums, arenas, restaurants and retail spaces have hundreds of square feet of potential display space that unusable because it consists of rough textured surfaces such as concrete block, brick, tile, poured concrete or stucco. The new 3M™ Scotchcal™ Graphic Film for Textured Surfaces IJ8624 with 3M™ Scotchcal™ Luster Overlaminate 8524 can open up all that unused but valuable real estate.

3M has developed special application tools and methods for use with this solution. The 3M™ Textured Surface Applicator TSA-2 is a tool with a heat-resistant foam roller designed specifically for conforming selected films to mortar joints and inside corners using heat and pressure with the tool.

This patent-pending conformable graphic solution can be molded to rough surfaces to create crisp, digitally-printed images that inform, promote or generate revenue. In addition to adding visual interest to most textured surfaces, the film permits unlimited images sizes and shapes.

The film adhesive provides excellent adhesion to most indoor and outdoor painted block, brick, stucco, tile or similar surfaces when properly applied. Its colored adhesive also effectively hides the original wall color and may be removed with heat.

Graphics created with films 8624 and overlaminate 8524 are easy to clean and can be produced in a wide-variety of image options from block color to full photographic reproduction.
