Prevent edge lift
Add protection at exposed film edges, seams and demanding wrap areas
3M Edge Sealer 8520 is a clear satin tape used to seal vehicle wraps, window graphics and cut edges or seams on watercraft wraps and graphics.
Edge sealing is designed to minimize the adverse effects of rigorous use and prolonged or severe exposure by providing a water and contaminant-tight seal between the film and substrate.
The product may also be applied after installed film begins to show signs of wear, including edge lifting, to significantly reduce further wear as stated in the supplied product information.
During application, the 8520 stripe is positioned so it evenly straddles both the installed film and the underlying substrate.
Why use edge sealing?
Help protect vulnerable film edges while improving resistance to environmental damage.
The supplied description identifies edge sealing as a method for improving resistance to environmental damage and enhancing film durability.
