NOTES

• Values are based on reliable tests but are indicative only, not a guarantee.

• Customers must assess suitability for their own application.

• Buy the full material quantity from the same batch to avoid colour variation.

• APA reserves the right to change products without prior notice.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Warranty / Responsibility

• APA materials are guaranteed free from manufacturing defects.

• In case of defect, APA replaces the materials used but does not cover extra costs (labour, reprinting, removal, reapplication, etc.).

• APA is not liable for replacement of non-APA products.

• Only substitution of goods is guaranteed.

• Colour consistency is controlled, but batch variation exists. Always use material from the same batch.

• No agent/distributor can provide data different from this datasheet.

APPLICATION

• For professional use only. Installers must be trained.

• Before applying, check compatibility with surface:

  • Verify paint adhesion.

  • Ensure surface is clean (no oil, wax, dust, dirt, gas-emitting surfaces, flexible substrates).

• Recommended temperature: 15° C – 28° C.

• Application method: Dry only (no water).

• Not compatible with: non-flat surfaces (slight curves allowed), banners, textiles, truck curtains, gasoline-exposed surfaces.

CLEANING

• Excellent resistance to abrasion, wear, stains, and mould.

• Clean with water, soft cloth, and non-aggressive detergents.

• Avoid rough sponges, abrasive creams, or strong solvents.

• Some films may leave light pigment on cloth when rubbed – this is normal.

Detergent resistance: Resistant to common household cleaning products (test first).

Food resistance: Resistant to acids (lemon juice, vinegar, coffee), non-acids (brine), fats (oil). Avoid prolonged food contact.

MAINTENANCE

• Avoid rubbing against sharp objects.

• Protect from prolonged sun exposure to prevent premature aging.

• Regular cleaning recommended.

• If deterioration occurs (fading, brittleness, colour change), remove immediately.

REMOVAL

• Due to high tack adhesive, removal may peel off varnish/primer and leave glue residues.

• Use heat gun during removal.

• Removal difficulty depends on time, exposure, surface type, and temperature.

• APA not liable for damages during removal.
