Limitations
1) The user is responsible for determining the products suitability, including adhesion and if
needed, removal characteristics when used in applications other than listed specifically in this
Performance Guide.
2) If there are any questions about applications, please contact your Mactac sales representative
to discuss your requirements for recommendations.
3) If this is a printed Performance Guide it is an uncontrolled document. Please check the Mactac
website for the latest, most up-to-date version
Recommendations
On flat or slightly curved surfaces:
Apply directly on the substrate by the dry application method.
1) On convex areas:
Heat the film with a heat gun before stretching it over the convex area.
2) 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.
3) On rivets:
Apply the film over the rivet with high pressure and heat it with a heat gun (temperature over
500°C). The film may lift slightly after few weeks.
4) Marine applications:
We strongly recommend edge sealing.
