Protect-All Foil Superbright PET

If anyone has had any experience with Protect-All superbright PET Foil. Please
let me know. Its really sensitive thermal application. It looks really smooth
coming off the laminater but it keeps delaminating on me over time. We are applying this stuff on top of screen printed .080 PET Plastic. We solved the warping issue by backing off the pressure. But why is this stuff delaminating?

We are screen printing to .080 with an image then a white + relief to get a 3d affect. the Thermal Foil is to apply to the top of that adhering to the relief and the rest of the plastic.

Thanks

depends on just "how" it's delaminating. without a pic there's no way to diagnose. just too many possible causes. post a pic!

Yeah I didnt think about that. Problem was solved. Foil required 220 degrees to soften.
10 Lbs of pressure less than half speed. and it worked fine. thank goodness. Warping was caused to ustable climate out in shop before it got to laminating dept. So were good. Thanks Art!
