Adhesive:
• Solvent-based acrylic adhesive.
• Immediate and permanent adhesion.
Under normal usage conditions, harmless when in contact with human skin (skin compatibility study carried out under dermatological control).
Active compound: silver ions, < 0.3 % w/w of the entire product.
Antimicrobial activity maintained after 365 cleanings with water, alcohol, chlorine bleach and Aniosurf® (respect the dilution recommended by the manufacturer).
The film can be cleaned/disinfected by all conventional cleaning methods, using non-abrasive accessories, cleaning products, detergents or products currently used in healthcare environments.
The disinfection levels achieved are compatible with common usage in the most sensitive areas in terms of infectious risks (surgery wards, immunocompromised wards, neonatology, etc.).
Operating Recommendations:
Before applying this laminate to a ProtekFILM digital printing film, which has been printed with solvent inks, it is recommended to respect the following optimal drying time for the inks:
For more information on the application method of the ProtekFILM film, please refer to the Application Guide on the "Professionals" pages, category "Laminates" on the site www.ProtekFILMgraphics.com.
Storage:
Shelf life (before application):
The shelf life of this film is 1 year when stored upright in its original packaging in a dust-free environment at a temperature ranging from +15 °C to +25 °C (+59 °F to +77 °F) with a relative humidity of 50 %.
Durability:
Vertical indoor exposure: up to 5 years (in areas not subject to frequent handling or high visitor frequency).
A film applied in areas of frequent handling (e.g.: handles) or high visitor frequency will be subject to repeated abrasion which will reduce its durability (change of appearance, lifting, etc.). The film durability
depends on the intensity and frequency of the mechanical stress to which it is exposed.
