APPLICATION METHOD

Velvet Elite Wrap 9100 has a low tack pressure activated adhesive that allows the film to be positioned with light finger pressure, and repositioned if it is not in the right place. We strongly recommend to wait 72 hours for the first wash after film application so that the adhesion onto the vehicle is optimal.

Surface preparation	Surface on which the film is applied must be flat, dry, cleaned and free of dust and grease. It is recommended to clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol.
Application Method	Use a dry application method. Do not use a detergent and water or a commercial application liquid to position film on a vehicle.
Application temperature	Ideal Application temperature: between 10° to 25°C. between 50° to 77° F. Product Deformation Temperature: 60°C / 140°F (airgun). Product Stabilization: above 90°C / 194°F
Temperature range after application	-20° to 90°C or -4° to 194°F
Graphic Removal	We strongly recommend that the removal of the film be done by professionals. Film should be heated at temperature between 45° and 60°C (between 110° and 140°F). Use a 45 degrees angle between the base and the film to be removed.

IMPORTANT: The application of Velvet Elite Wrap 9100 can be applied on all original painted surfaces, nevertheless its utilization on non-original or non-professional repainted or damaged surfaces could present a risk when film is removed for which our company is not liable.

IMPORTANT: Before application of the film, the end user will have tested the application compatibility of Velvet Elite Wrap 9100 with the surface, paint or varnish on which it will be applied.

IMPORTANT: Do not mix two different batch number for a same specific project. Colors may slightly vary between batches.

STORAGE CONDITIONS

Velvet Elite Wrap 9100 has to be kept in his original packaging with the stands, or in suspended situation. If not kept suspended, the material can show markings on the velvet due to the weight of the roll.

1. Suspended on a rack or in its original packaging

2. Out of sunlight

3. Clean dry area

4. Original container

5. Bring the film to wrap room temperature before using (12h)

Velvet Elite Wrap 9100 can be stocked in normal weather conditions between 10° and 35°C (50° and 95°F) and and between 40% to 60% humidity.

WARRANTY AND LIMITED REMEDY

Both the warranty coverage and the durability for Velvet Elite Wrap 9100 are based on the user(s) reading and following all applicable information and instructions in this technical sheet.

Velvet Elite Wrap 9100 has a 3 years expected performance life. Expected performance life may vary depending on your location. Please refer to the following table:

If the graphic exposure is:	% of Warranted durability	Warranty
U.S Vertical exposure	3 years x 1 (100%)	3 years
U.S Non-vertical	3 years x 0.5 (50%)	1.5 years
Vertical in Arizona, New Mexico, and the desert areas of California, Nevada, Utah, and Texas	3 years x 0.7 (70%)	2.1 years
Desert Southwest Non-Vertical	3 years x 0.35 (35%)	1.05 year

U.S Vertical exposure: the face of the material is +/- 10° from vertical
US Non-vertical exposure: the face of the material is greater than 10* from vertical, and greater than 5° from horizontal.
U.S desert Southwest exposure: Any outdoor wrap exposed to solar energy more than half of the daylight hours in Arizona, New Mexico, and the desert areas of California, Nevada, Utah, and Texas is subject to reduced warranties.

The product durability estimated in this technical sheet are based on accelerated laboratory experiments for outdoor conditions, vertical position and tempered climate. The product was put to test in severe conditions such as high temperature and U.V light encountered in South European countries, tropical regions, sub-tropical or desert which weathers the product faster than in tempered regions. Polluted regions, high altitudes, as well as expositions to the south also diminish outdoor performance.

CLEANING AND DAILY CARE

Velvet Elite Wrap 9100 is water and regular soap resistant and can be washed in the same conditions as the normal vehicle.

We strongly recommend to wait 72 hours for the first wash after film application so that the adhesiveness onto the vehicle is optimal.
Just after application of the film, you can give a clean finish look to the velvet texture using a clean microfiber cloth with alcohol.

The film was also conceived to resist high pressure car wash at a distance of 60 cm/2 feetfor a normal jet pressure comprise between 100 and 120 bars. Best results are obtained at a wash angle > 45 degrees.

In the case of a hand wash with soap with recommend good rinsing so that no soap is left into the film.

CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS

The following are common cutting method for this material:

1. band sawing

2. Kiss cutting

3. Flat-bed electronic cutting

4. Guillotine

5. hand cut

6. Cold and hot steel die-cutting

Due to the large number of cutting machines and methods, please contact your manufacturer for cutting instructions.
