Frequently Asked Questions
What is ORACAL 651?
ORACAL 651 is a high-quality, 2.5 mil intermediate calendered PVC film equipped with a permanent, solvent-based adhesive. It is the industry standard for outdoor sign vinyl, vehicle decals, window lettering, and permanent craft projects due to its excellent cutting and weeding properties.
How long does ORACAL 651 last outdoors?
ORACAL 651 lasts up to 6 years outdoors for black and white films, up to 4 years for colors and transparent films, and up to 3 years for metallic finishes. This weatherproof sign vinyl provides exceptional resistance to UV rays, temperature changes, and moisture when applied to properly prepared surfaces.
Can I use ORACAL 651 on walls?
It is not recommended to use ORACAL 651 permanent vinyl on interior painted drywall. The permanent solvent-based adhesive is very aggressive and will likely damage the paint or drywall paper upon removal. For indoor wall graphics, use a removable vinyl like ORACAL 631.
Is ORACAL 651 dishwasher safe?
While ORACAL 651 is highly water-resistant and is the preferred vinyl for tumblers and mugs, it is not officially rated as dishwasher safe. The high heat and harsh detergents in a dishwasher can degrade the adhesive over time. Hand washing is strongly recommended to maximize the lifespan of the decal.
