To protect the print from mechanical wear and to increase the slip resistance, the print must be protected with an ASLAN floor graphics laminating film. Before laminating, the inks must have dried out for at least 48 hours. Application The floor graphics laminating film must be applied without overlapping. The surface should have a temperature of at least 10-15 ° C, should be dry and firm and the temperature should not drop much within the next 72 hours. The surface onto which the film is to be applied must be free of dust, dirt and grease. To prevent the film from coming apart at the edges, rounded corners and simple shapes are recommended. The vinyl needs a large surface space to ensure there is a high adhesion strength to the carpet. Due to the wide variety of possible carpet qualities we recommend a test application onto the desired surface where not visible! Removability WrapTheCarpet ASLAN DFP 49 can be removed in one piece without problems and without damaging the carpet. The film must be removed slowly and carefully. Storage life Before application, the films can be stored for minimum 2 years from date of production. The film must be stored at room temperature (15-25 °C) and a relative humidity of the air of 50-60 %. To avoid pressure points appearing on the roll surface, we recommend the rolls be stored either vertical standing or for this purpose designed `hanging´ racks. Gloss: There can be matt areas on the surface of the high glossy film near the core of the roll. These can be caused by the rear of the backing paper, but will disappear after a short period of time and don’t influence the print results.
