Tuning Film Brushed BF is a 140μm 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 :
140μm 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.
