3M IJ-175 We're Lovin It!

We use about 10-15 rolls a month. Mostly box trucks and cargo vans. Stuff we don't have to worry about removing. We had used it on some temp wraps and removal was a nightmare. Installers have been loving it. It's also not good for recessed window areas like a sprinter or transit.

 

Eventually, you will need to remove those wraps. no ij175 for me.

 

What is the different between IJ180 and IJ175, other than the color of the adhesive?

 

From what I understand it has a less aggressive tack. So it's a little more on par with Avery.

What was so nightmarish about it?

 

does a lot of adhesive stay behind?

 

It has a higher long term adhesion so removal leaves a lot of glue regardless of removal method.

 

Anyone using this for other signage? Like long term outdoor flat signage (overlays on Dibond, aluminum, etc..)? I normally use IJ180, just wondering if this will be as good. With the $100 rebate on them right now, I'd like to snag a few rolls.

 

Tried it.

NO DEEP CHANNELS (sprinter/transit). Tested and it lifts after time. Even with primer and low stretch.


Had to remove the back portion of a wrap. Client changed their mind a few months later. Removal, not good. A lot of adhesive left. I won’t use it.

 

We're liking it too! Especially with our Seiko. The IJ180cv3 was so tacky it was hard to install full wraps. Something to do with the way the ink is reacting with the material. We haven't had any issues with deep channels though. But the whole removal thing is not comforting. We haven't had to remove anything yet, but IJ180cv3 is hard enough. Wouldn't it be awesome to just have the best of both....

 

My Cast and Latex go together like peanut butter and jelly!
