Convex High-Bond
CONVEX® High-Bond™ Performance Film
Vinyl media with an extra-aggressive, high-tack adhesive engineered to hold on plastic, LSE surfaces, powder-painted metal, and powersport vehicles — even when other graphics end up in the dirt.
- ✔ 2 mil extra-aggressive, high-tack acrylic PSA — the adhesive that won't quit on LSE surfaces
- ✔ Proven on motocross bikes, ATVs, UTVs, sleds, and powersport vehicles
- ✔ Bonds to powder-painted metal, stainless steel, and low-energy plastic
- ✔ Flexible, rugged 6 mil construction — conforms to complex curves without wrinkling
- ✔ Shrink-resistant — won't fall off, ooze, or collect dirt at the edges
- ✔ Available in Gerber 15" and wide-format up to 60" wide
When the job demands a graphic that absolutely cannot peel, lift, or fail in the field, you need to get the bond. CONVEX® High-Bond™ is engineered with a 2 mil permanent acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive specifically formulated for low surface energy (LSE) substrates — the hard-to-stick materials that defeat standard vinyl adhesives. Powder-coated metals, rigid plastics, polypropylene panels, TPO, and textured industrial surfaces — CONVEX High-Bond grips them all and doesn't let go.
Whether you're producing MX bike graphics, ATV decals, UTV markings, heavy equipment labels, or industrial identification graphics, CONVEX High-Bond delivers the adhesive performance and print quality your customers demand. The motocross industry has vigorously embraced CONVEX High-Bond as the highest-quality vinyl media for powersport vehicle graphics — and industrial manufacturers rely on it for equipment markings that stay put in the harshest conditions.

The High-Bond Adhesive Difference
Standard vinyl adhesives are designed for clean, smooth, high-energy surfaces. They fail on the surfaces that matter most in powersport and industrial applications — powder-coated panels, rigid plastic fairings, TPO body parts, textured metal, and LSE substrates. When you get the bond with CONVEX High-Bond, you get a 2 mil permanent high-tack acrylic PSA specifically engineered for exactly those surfaces. If you've been searching for high tack vinyl, high-tack decal media, or aggressive adhesive vinyl that sticks to plastic — this is it.
- - 2 mils of high-tack adhesive — double the adhesive thickness of many standard vinyl films for deeper contact with textured surfaces
- - Formulated for low surface energy (LSE) plastic — the category that defeats standard vinyl
- - Bonds permanently to powder-coated metal, stainless steel, polypropylene, ABS, and TPO
- - Shrink-resistant construction keeps edges down and prevents dirt and debris buildup
- - Rated from -40°F to 176°F — holds through freeze/thaw cycles, mud, water, and heat
Whether you call it high tack, high-bond, or aggressive adhesive vinyl — when your customer's graphics need to stay put no matter what, get the bond.
