Description

Tuning Film Brushed BF is a 140?m embossed polymeric
vinyl film coated with a permanent acrylic adhesive.
Product application is easier thanks to the Bubble Free
adhesive system. Tuning Film Brushed BF creates a special design to various
surfaces, such as external or internal vehicle parts and
electronic equipment (computers, cellular phones, …).

CONSTRUCTION
Face material :
140?m polymeric stabilized calendered vinyl, cadmium free.

Adhesive :
High tack micro-structured solvent based acrylic adhesive.

Liner :
Highly stable 145 gsm white PE coated paper.

DURABILITY
Vertical exposure in zone 1 (North, West & Central
Europe):

Horizontal exposure : reduced by 40%

These use-life estimates are based upon accelerated ageing
studies and outdoor exposure, under conditions
experienced in vertical exposure and in West Europe.

Note : Exposure to severe temperatures and ultraviolet
light, as well as conditions in Southern European
countries, and also in tropical, sub-tropical or desert
regions, will cause a more rapid deterioration. This
also applies to polluted areas, high altitude,
horizontal and south-facing exposure.

Temperature ranges :
Application : +10°C to + 40°C
End-use : – 40°C to + 90°C

Flammability ISO 3795
Sample mounted on aluminium : self-extinguishing.

Solvent and chemical resistance
Resistant to most oils and grease, fuel, aliphatic solvents,
weak acids, salts and alkalis.

PROCESSING
Clean and degrease the substrate
All surfaces to which the material will be applied must be
thoroughly cleaned from dust, grease or any
contamination.
Use soapy water to remove dust and degrease the substrate
with isopropylic alcohol.

Application
on flat or slightly curved surfaces
Apply directly on the substrate by the dry application
method.

on convex areas
Heat the film with a heat gun before stretching it over
the convex area.

on corrugated or concave areas
If the film is stretched into a corrugation it may pop-out
after a few weeks. It is, therefore, recommended to cut
the film and to apply it in the corrugation without
tension.

Removability
Once heated, Tuning Film Brushed BF is easy to remove.
Eventual adhesive residues can be removed thanks to
isopropylic alcohol.

Important remarks
The compatibility of paints and lacquers should be tested
by the end-user, prior to use.
Don’t over heat or over stretch Tuning Film Brushed BF,
otherwise the structure appearance could be damaged.
Tuning Film Brushed BF is sensitive to scratches and
should be handled with care.
