9. Uygulama ortamı iklim kontrollü değilse yapışkan özellikleri mevsimler arasında değişebilir. Bu, malzemenin tipik bir örneğidir. Özellikle soğuk havalarda filmi yalnızca 50 ° F'den yüksek sıcaklıklara sahip ortamlarda uygulayın.

10. Genellikle, nötr bir deterjanla veya IPA (izopropil alkol) ile karıştırılmış su, filmi uygulamadan önce ön işleme sıvısı olarak kullanılabilir. İlk yapışkan yapışkanlığı IPA'nın suya oranına bağlı olarak değişebilir.

11. Otomotiv dışı amaçlar için PPF kullanılıyorsa, üreticiye başvurun. Malzeme boyutu, ambalajı ve yapışkan özelliklerinin değiştirilmesi gerekebilir.

12. Not: STEK, hatalı kullanım, uygun olmayan depolama, yeniden kesme, yeniden paketleme, sünger göbek kullanmama veya bir yıldan fazla depolamadan kaynaklanan hasarlardan sorumlu değildir.

Kurulum ve Bakım

Aşağıdaki liste, STEK üst kaplamalı termal poliüretan (TPU) boya koruma filmlerinin kurulumu ve bakımı için en iyi uygulamaların bir özetidir. Kendi incelemeniz ve müşterilerinizle birlikte gözden geçirmeniz için dahil edilirler. STEK, kaliteli kurulum sağlamak için bu yönergeleri izlemenizi şiddetle tavsiye eder.

1. Kendi kendini iyileştirme yeteneklerinden dolayı, STEK üst kaplamalı boya koruma filmleri (PPF'ler) üzerindeki hafif çizikler, etkilenen alan (lar) ın üzerine sıcak su veya ısı tabancası uygulanarak giderilebilir. Üst kata bir çizik girerse, kendi kendine iyileşmeyeceğini unutmayın. Bu, herhangi bir üst kaplamalı PPF için tipiktir.

2. Kurulum sırasında, kurulum araçlarının çizmemesine dikkat edin. Kurulum için bir lastik silecek kullanmanızı öneririz (örneğin, sarı veya yeşil bir Turbo silecek). Lastik silecek kullanılsa bile çizikler meydana gelebilir. Kullanım için güvenli olup olmadıklarını belirlemek için araçlarınızı kurulumdan önce test edin.

3. Kurulum, yüzeyde çiziklere neden olabilecek havada toz ve diğer partiküllerin bulunmadığı temiz bir alanda yapılmalıdır.

4. PPF'lere uygulamadan önce tüm mumları veya satış sonrası sızdırmazlık maddelerini test edin. Tüm ürünler PPF son katlarla uyumlu değildir. Son derece hidrofobik PPF üst kaplamalar, mumların veya diğer kaplamaların uygulanmasını engelleyebilir.

5. STEK, PPF ile korunan el yıkama arabalarını tavsiye eder. Üst katın kendi kendini iyileştirme yetenekleri olsa da, otomatik araba yıkama kullanımı yüzey çizilme olasılığını artırır. Küçük çizikler kendi kendine iyileşse de, üst kata nüfuz etmişlerse daha derin çizikler kalabilir.

6. STEK PPF çatlamaya, kaldırma hatlarına ve "tavuk derisine" karşı oldukça dirençli olmasına rağmen, çok fazla kuvvet / gerdirme uygulanması filme zarar verebilir. STEK PPF dar köşelerde, çöküntülerde ve diğer karmaşık alanlarda kurulum için yeterli esneklik sunarken, malzemenin sınırları vardır. Bireysel uygulama yöntemlerine göre değişebilen bu tür sınırları belirlemek için, ilk kurulumunuzdan önce PPF'nin gerilebilirliğini test etmenizi öneririz. Esnekliği artırmak için germe sırasında bir ısı tabancası kullanılabileceğini unutmayın.

7. Bakım ve Bakım Talimatları (PPF ve üstü kaplamalı PPF)

a. Kurulumdan sonra aracı 48 saat yıkamayın.

b. PPF'nin kenarlarına doğrudan basınçlı yıkayıcı veya nozül püskürtmekten kaçının. Bunu yapmak filmin kenarını kaldırabilir. Yüksek basınçlı bir yıkayıcı kullanıyorsanız, nozulu film yüzeyinden en az 36 inç yukarıda tutun.

c. Pigmentli mumlar, aşındırıcı mumlar veya neft veya gaz yağı içeren mumlar kullanmayın.

d. Film üzerinde aşındırıcı pedler veya sert kimyasallar kullanmayın.

e. İstenirse, uyumluluk testinden sonra en az 6 ayda bir arabayı ve filmi cilalayın.

f. Lekeleri mümkün olan en kısa sürede çıkarın. İnatçı lekeleri çıkarmak için izopropil alkol kullanın. Filmi doğrudan güneş ışığı altında veya yüksek sıcaklıklarda temizlemekten kaçının.

Dikkat: Film üzerinde kalan kir, kalıntı ve lekeler, hemen çıkarılmazsa filmin rengini atabilir. Daha açık renkli arabalarda daha belirgin olabilecek renk değişimini önlemek için özen gösterin. Araç sahiplerine uygun bakım prosedürlerini bildirin.

8. Filmi çıkarmak için, filmi arabanın yüzeyinden 90 ° 'den daha az bir açıyla köşeden çekin. Film birkaç yıldır kuruluysa çıkarılması daha zor olabilir. Bu durumda, yapıştırıcıyı yumuşatmak için bir buharlayıcı, ısı tabancası veya saç kurutma makinesi kullanılabilir. Filmi çıkardıktan sonra araç gövdesinde yapışkan kalıntısı kalabilir. Bu kalıntı STEK yapışkan sökücü kullanılarak kolayca çıkarılabilir.

Dikkat: DYNOblack, DYNOblack-matt, DYNOblack-carbon, DYNOsmoke, DYNOshade veya DYNOfancy çıkarılırken, araç gövdesinde renkli yapışkan kalıntısı kalabilir. Bu, ürünün yapısından kaynaklanmaktadır. Bu durumda, bu tür artıkları ve kalan renkleri çıkarmak için STEK yapışkan sökücüyü kullanmanız yeterlidir.

Bu garanti, yanlış kullanım, kazalar, yanlış uygulama, normal aşınma ve yıpranma, yoldaki enkaz etkisinden kaynaklanan ezikler, çarpışmalar ve / veya her türlü kasıtlı hasarın neden olduğu hasarları kapsamaz.

Bir hak talebinde bulunmak için, önce orijinal kurucu / bayi ile iletişime geçin. Bunu yapamıyorsanız, www.stekautomotive.com web sitesini kullanarak STEK ile veya Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nde ise www.stek-usa.com ile iletişime geçin.

Bu garantinin bir kopyasını ve orijinal kurucunun / bayinin adını, satın alma fiyatını, ürünü (örneğin, DYNOshield) ve kapsama alanlarını tanımlayan satın alma kanıtını saklamalısınız. Bu belgeler, talebinizi işleme koymak için gereklidir.

Bazı kurulumcular, STEK tarafından sunulan sınırlı garanti ve sınırlı çözümün ötesinde, kendi adlarına farklı veya ek garantiler veya çözümler sunmayı seçebilirler. Her eyaletin satış sonrası aksesuarlar için farklı politikaları olduğundan, farlara film takmadan önce eyalet ve yerel yasalarınızı kontrol edin. STEK, farlara takılan boya koruma filmini kapsamaz ve ortaya çıkan hasarlardan veya cezalardan sorumlu değildir.

Geçerli talepler için, yetkili bir STEK montajcısı, kusurlu filmi çıkaracak ve yeni ürünü / ürünleri, STEK tarafından garanti kapsamında olduğu belirlenen alanlara yeniden uygulayacaktır.

ZIMNİ GARANTİ VEYA SATILABİLİRLİK KOŞULU, BELİRLİ BİR AMACA UYGUNLUK VEYA BELİRLİ BİR AMACA UYGUNLUK KOŞULU VE BUNLARDAN KAYNAKLANAN HERHANGİ BİR ZIMNİ GARANTİ VEYA KOŞUL DAHİL ANCAK BUNLARLA SINIRLI OLMAMAK ÜZERE TÜM ZIMNİ GARANTİ VE KOŞULLAR TİCARETİN KULLANIMI GEÇERLİ GARANTİ SÜRESİ İLE SINIRLIDIR.

Yükümlülük Sınırlamaları

STEK ve ürün (ler) in montajcısı / satıcısı, kanunun yasakladığı haller dışında, doğrudan, dolaylı, özel, arızi veya sonuç olarak ortaya çıkan ürün (ler) in kullanımından kaynaklanan herhangi bir kayıp veya hasardan sorumlu olmayacaktır. garanti, sözleşme, ihmal veya katı sorumluluk dahil olmak üzere ileri sürülen yasal teori. Bazı eyaletlerin / bölgelerin / ülkelerin tesadüfi veya sonuç olarak ortaya çıkan hasarların hariç tutulmasına veya sınırlandırılmasına izin vermediğini, bu nedenle yukarıda belirtilen sınırlama veya hariç tutmanın geçerli olmayabileceğini unutmayın.

Sınırlamalar

Yukarıdaki garanti ve çareler yalnızca açıklanan ürün (ler) için mevcuttur. STEK yükleyicileri / satıcıları bu sınırlı garantiyi değiştiremez veya uzatamaz. STEK, tüm iddiaların geçerliliğini belirlemekten tek başına sorumludur ve yukarıdaki kriterleri karşılamayan iddiaları reddetme hakkını saklı tutar. Kusurlu filmin değiştirilmesi, işçilik dahil, tek çözümdür. Sorumluluk başka herhangi bir zararı kapsamaz: tesadüfi, sonuçsal veya başka türlü.

Malzeme Taşıma ve Depolama

Aşağıdaki liste, herhangi bir üst kaplamalı termal poliüretan (TPU) boya koruma filmiyle çalışmaya yönelik en iyi uygulamaların bir özetidir. Bunlar incelemeniz için dahil edilmiştir. STEK, teslimat ve kullanım sırasında ürün kalitesini sağlamak ve zaman ve malzeme israfını azaltmak için bu yönergelere uymanızı şiddetle tavsiye eder.

1. Baskı işaretleri oluşabileceğinden, film hala rulo üzerindeyken yüzeyine aşırı basınç uygulamayın.

2. Dikkatsiz kullanımdan kaynaklanan basınç izlerini önlemek için kartonu dikkatli kullanın.

3. Basınç, uzun süreli saklama ve TPU filmin tipik özelliği olan yüksek sıcaklıklar nedeniyle parlaklık solabilir. Etkilenen bölgede bir ısı tabancası kullanılarak parlaklık geri kazanılabilir. Kurulumdan önce parlaklığı korumak için STEK, üst katın yüzeyinde koruyucu PARLAK GELİŞTİRİCİ bir tabaka kullanır.

4. Ürün, 90 ° F'nin altındaki sıcaklıklara ve% 40 ile% 60 arasında bağıl neme sahip bir ortamda saklanmalıdır.

5. STEK boya koruma filmi, satın alma tarihinden itibaren bir yıl içerisinde kullanılmalıdır.

6. Bir film rulosunu rulodan daha büyük veya daha küçük bir kutuya yeniden paketlemek filme zarar verebilir. Bunu yapmak basınç izleri, soluk parlaklık, kabartma işaretleri vb. İle sonuçlanabilir. Bu nedenle STEK, saklama için orijinal kutunun ve ambalajın kullanılmasını önerir.

7. Filmi yeniden paketlemek için geri sararken veya keserken, yüzeyde kir veya toz kontaminasyonu nedeniyle yüzey işaretlerinin (örn. Küçük noktalar, bükülmeler vb.) Görünebileceğini unutmayın. Yeniden paketleme yapıyorsanız, çalışma alanınızın temiz olduğundan emin olun.

8. Bir film rulosunun bir kısmını kullandıktan sonra, gevşek bir şekilde yeniden paketlemeyin. Filmi orijinal ambalajında ​​olduğu gibi tutun - sıkıca sarın ve bantlayarak yerinde tutun. STEK filmlerin yüzey koruma tabakaları olduğundan, rulo sıkıca sarılmadığı veya ters yönde sarılmadığı takdirde tünel açmanın meydana gelebileceğini unutmayın.

This warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse, accidents, misapplication, normal wear and tear, dents from road debris impact, collisions, and/or intentional damage of any kind.

To file a claim, contact the original installer/dealer first.  If unable to do so, contact STEK using the website www.stekautomotive.com, or www.stek-usa.com if in the United States.

You must retain a copy of this warranty and proof of purchase identifying the name of the original installer/dealer, purchase price, product (e.g., SHIELD effect), and coverage areas. These documents are needed to process your claim.

Some installers may choose to offer, on their own behalf, different or additional warranties or remedies, beyond the limited warranty and limited remedy offered by STEK. Check your state and local laws before installing film on headlamps, as each state has different policies for aftermarket accessories.  STEK does not cover paint protection film installed on headlamps and is not responsible for any resulting damages or fines. 

For valid claims, an authorized STEK installer shall remove the defective film and reapply new product(s) to areas determined by STEK to be covered by the warranty.

ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY, THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION ARISING OUT OF A COURSE OF DEALING OR OF PERFORMANCE, CUSTOM OR USAGE OF TRADE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE APPLICABLE WARRANTY TIME PERIOD.

Note that some state laws do not permit limitations on the length of an implied warranty. In this case, the limitation above may not apply.

Limitations of Liability

Except where prohibited by law, STEK and the installer/dealer of the product(s) shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from the use of the product(s) whether direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential, regardless of the legal theory asserted, including warranty, contract, negligence, or strict liability. Note that some states/regions/countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the aforementioned limitation or exclusion may not apply.

Limitations

The warranty and remedies above are available exclusively for the described product(s). STEK installers/dealers cannot modify or extend this limited warranty. STEK shall be solely responsible for determining the validity of all claims and reserves the right to deny claims that do not meet the above criteria. Replacement of the defective film, including labor, is the exclusive remedy. Liability does not extend to any other damages: incidental, consequential, or otherwise. 

Material Handling & Storage

The following list is a summary of best practices for working with any top-coated thermal polyurethane (TPU) paint protection film. These are included for your review. STEK strongly recommends that you follow these guidelines to ensure product quality upon delivery and handling, and to reduce wasted time and material.

1. Do not put undue pressure on the surface of the film while it is still on the roll, as pressure marks may form.

2. Handle the carton with care to avoid pressure marks from careless handling.

3. Gloss may fade due to pressure, long-term storage, and high temperatures, which is typical of TPU film. The gloss may be recovered by using a heat gun on the affected area. To protect gloss prior to installation, STEK uses a protective GLOSS-ENHANCING sheet on the surface of the top coat.

4. The product should be stored in an environment with temperatures below 90°F and a relative humidity between 40% and 60%.

5. STEK paint protection film should be used within one year from the date of purchase.

6. Repackaging a roll of film into a box bigger or smaller than the size of the roll can damage the film. Doing so may result in pressure marks, faded gloss, embossing marks, etc. STEK therefore recommends using the original box and packaging for storage.

7. When rewinding or cutting in order to repackage the film, note that surface marks (e.g., small dots, twists, etc.) may appear on the surface due to dirt or dust contamination. If repackaging, ensure that your workspace is clean.

8. After using part of a roll of film, do not repack it loosely. Keep the film as it was originally packaged—rolled tight and held in place by taping. As STEK films have surface protection sheets, note that tunneling may occur if the roll is not rewound tightly or rewound in the reverse direction.

9. Adhesive characteristics may change between seasons if the application environment is not climate-controlled. This is typical of the material. Particularly in cold weather, apply the film only in environments with temperatures higher than 50° F.

10. Generally, water mixed with a neutral detergent or IPA (isopropyl alcohol) may be used as a pre-handling liquid before applying the film. Initial adhesive tack may vary depending on the ratio of IPA to water.

11. Contact the manufacturer if using PPF for non-automotive purposes. Material size, packaging, and adhesive specifications may need to be changed.

12. Note: STEK is not responsible for damage caused by mishandling, improper storage, recutting, repacking, not using a sponge core, or storage for more than one year.

Installation & Care

The following list is a summary of best practices for installing and caring for STEK top-coated thermal polyurethane (TPU) paint protection films. They are included for your own review and for review with your customers. STEK strongly recommends that you follow these guidelines to ensure quality installation.

1. Due to its self-healing abilities, light scratches on STEK top-coated paint protection films (PPFs) may be removed by applying hot water or a heat gun over the affected area(s). Note that if a scratch has penetrated the top coat, it will not self-heal. This is typical of any top-coated PPF.

2. During installation, take care to avoid scratching from installation tools. We recommend using a rubber squeegee for installation (e.g., a yellow or green Turbo squeegee). Even with the use of a rubber squeegee, scratches may occur. Test your tools before installation to determine whether they are safe for use.

3. Installation should take place in a clean area free of airborne dust and other particulates, which could result in surface scratches.

4. Test all waxes or after-market sealants before application to PPFs. Not all products are compatible with PPF top coats. Extremely hydrophobic PPF top coats may interfere with the application of waxes or other coatings.

5. STEK recommends hand-washing cars protected with PPF. While the top coat may have self-healing abilities, using automatic car washes increases the likelihood of surface scratching. Though minor scratches may self-heal, deeper scratches may remain if they have penetrated the top coat.

6. Although STEK PPF is highly resistant to cracking, lift lines, and “chicken-skinning,” applying too much force/stretching may damage the film. While STEK PPF offers sufficient flexibility for installation in tight corners, depressions, and other complex areas, the material does have its limits. In order to determine such limits, which may vary based on individual application methods, we recommend testing the stretchability of the PPF prior to your first installation. Note that a heat gun may be used during stretching to increase flexibility.

7. Maintenance & Care Instructions (PPF & top-coated PPF)

a. Do not wash the vehicle for 48 hours following installation.

b. Avoid directly spraying the edges of the PPF with a pressure washer or nozzle. Doing so may lift the edge of the film. If using a high-pressure washer, keep the nozzle at least 36 inches above the film’s surface.

c. Do not use pigmented waxes, abrasive waxes, or waxes containing naphtha or kerosene.

d. Do not use abrasive pads or harsh chemicals on the film.

e. If desired, wax the car and film at least once every 6 months after testing for compatibility.

f. Remove stains as soon as possible. Use isopropyl alcohol to remove stubborn stains. Avoid cleaning the film in direct sunlight or in high temperatures.

Caution: Dirt, debris, and stains left on the film may discolor the film if not removed immediately. Take care to prevent discoloration, which may be more noticeable on lighter-colored cars. Advise vehicle owners of proper maintenance procedures.

8. To remove the film, pull the film from a corner at an angle less than 90° from the surface of the car. If the film has been installed for a number of years, it may be more difficult to remove. In that case, a steamer, heat gun, or hair dryer may be used to soften the adhesive. After removing the film, adhesive residue may remain on the vehicle body. This residue may be easily removed using the STEK adhesive remover.

Caution: When removing BLACK effect or TINT effect, colored adhesive residue may remain on the vehicle body. This is caused by the structure of the product. In that case, simply use the STEK adhesive remover to remove such residue and any remaining color.
