The 3M 5557 Series disc has a 1/8-inch diameter, 10.2-mil thickness, polyester film backing, and 82 oz/in steel adhesive. Pre-exposure color is white; post-exposure color is red. It provides a permanent visual indication of water contact.

To install the 3M 5557 disc, clean the surface to remove dust and oil, then peel the liner and press the disc firmly onto a dry, non-porous area. Avoid touching the adhesive. The disc will permanently turn red upon water exposure, so place it where moisture detection is critical.
