Is 341, 651, 751, 951 Oracal Vinyl Safe for the Dishwasher?
Is 341 Vinyl Dishwasher Safe?
Table of Contents
341 vinyl has a water-based adhesive, and because of this, we do not recommend this material for applications involving water exposure. Even with hand washing, which is recommended, the water could compromise the adhesive and cause issues.
We do not recommend using our 341 vinyl material in a dishwasher. The pressurized water and heat could cause the material to lift or even come off. Additionally, dishwasher soap often contains bleach or other chemicals that can cause the vinyl to break down prematurely. For best results, we recommend hand washing only.
Recommended Vinyl Types for Washable Items
We recommend using 651 vinyl for items that need to be washed. For applications requiring conformability, 751 or 951 vinyl could also be used.
It's important to note that while some people use 651, 751, and 951 vinyl in dishwashers successfully, this is not a recommended or intended use of the material.
