Abstract
An application solution for use in bonding a pressure sensitive adhesive-coated film on a surface is reported. The application solution comprises water, a wetting agent, and sodium chloride. The application solution reduces or eliminates adhesive blushing that may occur when pressure sensitive adhesives come into contact with water or water-based application solutions. Also disclosed is a concentrate for preparing an application solution and an improved method of applying a pressure sensitive adhesive-coated film to a substrate.
