Product Description
This perforated film is white on the image side and black on the adhesive side. This allows printing graphics to be seen on one side and still allows viewing through the window from the other side.

Graphic removal | Removable without heat and/or chemicals from supported substrates. No liability is given for ease or speed of removal of any graphic. Pay attention to adequate air and substrate temperature. |
Storage Shelf life | 2 years from the date on the original box. Up to 2 years unprocessed, or processed within 1 year and apply within 1 year of processing |
Storage conditions! | +4°C to +40°C, out of sunlight, original container in clean and dry area. |
Flammability | Flammability standards are different from country to country. |
Application | The use of an application tape is neither recommended nor needed. Graphics Printed with UV Inks are Heat Sensitive! UV piezo inkjet inks may crack if too much heat is used during graphic application. When using a heat gun or other heat source during application, make sure the film surface temperature does not exceed 100°C.Using additional heat in the post-application process may also cause UV piezo inkjet ink to crack |
|
Perforated Window Graphics | Multi panel | If two graphic panels meet side by side on a window, carefully trim the film that the panels meet and form a butt seam. Do not overlap the panels! |
Edge sealing | The use of edge sealing tape (strips of over laminate) or oversized over laminate improves the resistance of the graphic to environmental damage. | |
Avoid Lifting | The film must not touch the window molding. It does not stick on the molding so that lifting will occur. Keep a small distance of a few mm; the small distance minimizes the chance of the graphic absorbing water that may collect at the window edge. | |

Durability | ||
Unprocessed film | The following durability data are given for unprocessed film only! | |
Climatic zones | Graphic durability is largely determined by the climate and the angle of exposure. Find below a table showing the durability of a product according to the angle of exposure and the geographical location of the application. Zone 1: Northern Europe, Italy (north of Rome), Russia Zone 2: Mediterranean area without North Africa, South Africa |
|
Exposure types |
Vertical: The face of the graphic is ±10° from vertical. |
Use a cleaner designed for high-quality painted surfaces. The cleaner must be wet, non-abrasive, without strong solvents, and have a pH value between 3 and 11 (neither strongly acidic nor strongly alkaline).
