651 Intermediate Cal 

Industry Standard for High-Performance Calendered Film!

Oracal 651 is an outstanding intermediate calendered film for medium-term outdoor applications. The special proprietary formulation ensures optimized stability and resistance to UV degradation. The unique face film is 2.5 mils thick which splits the difference between 2 mil cast vinyl and most 3 mil calendered films. It is thinner, more conformable, and will last longer with better resistance against shrinkage, cracking, or peeling than any other calendered vinyl.

Thanks to Oracal 651's dense face film, the vinyl clings more tightly to the release liner and it makes the weeding job exceptionally easier and faster. The solvent-based adhesive of Oracal 651 is designed for a more demanding and longer-term application. You can apply Oracal 651 on most substrates dry without application fluid and lightly re-position it until it's just right. Then apply pressure to activate the adhesive and finish the installation. Oracal 651 also can be installed by wet application without worry of the adhesive losing bond to the substrate.

Tech Tip: Always Perform a Test-Cut First!

The most important factor in plotting vinyl is ensuring the use of correct plotter settings based on the chosen type of material. Denser films, such as reflective require a 60º blade, slower cutting speed, and increased cut pressure.  When cutting softer, more flexible cast or calendered films, a 30º blade, increased cutting speed (in comparison to denser films), and decreased cut pressure is warranted. Performing a plot test with every roll of vinyl that is loaded into your plotter is always recommended.
