Typical example of the Product Identification Films.
Cleaning of the Films
Make sure that all of the product identification films are legible. Make sure that the recommended procedures are used in order to clean the product identification films. Ensure that all the product identification films are not damaged or missing. Clean the product identification films or replace the films.Hand Washing
Use a wet solution with no abrasive material that contains no solvents and no alcohol. Use a wet solution with a "pH" value between 3 and 11. Use a soft brush, a rag, or a sponge in order to clean the product identification films. Avoid wearing down the surface of the product identification films with unnecessary scrubbing. Ensure that the surface of the product identification films is flushed with clean water and allow the product identification films to air dry.Power Washing
Power washing or washing with pressure may be used in order to clean product identification films. However, aggressive washing can damage the product identification films.Excessive pressure during power washing can damage the product identification films by forcing water underneath the product identification films. Water lessens the adhesion of the product identification film to the product, allowing the product identification film to lift or curl. These problems are magnified by wind. These problems are critical for the perforated film on windows.To avoid lifting of the edge or other damage to the product identification films, follow these important steps:
Use a spray nozzle with a wide spray pattern.
A maximum pressure of 83 bar (1200 psi)
A maximum water temperature of 50° C (120° F)
Hold the nozzle perpendicular to the product identification film at a minimum distance of 305 mm (12 inch).
Do not direct a stream of water at a sharp angle to the edge of the product identification film.
