Introduction
Curious about the difference between ORALITE® 5650RA and ORALITE® 5600RA? The divergence is minimal but important. While 5650RA has been a staple in the North American market for some time, 5600RA made its debut in 2020.
The Distinct Factor: Adhesive
What truly sets them apart is the adhesive technology. 5600RA boasts a newly developed adhesive that offers lower initial tack and superior repositioning flexibility.

Plus, 5600RA can be easily removed for up to four years after it has been applied. These traits make it an excellent choice for vehicle wraps and graphics. While 5650RA also has removable and repositionable features, they are comparatively less advanced.
