Chrome Red

• Prior to any application of Super Chrome film to a vehicle equipped with a driver assistance system such as a lane-change assistant, run a test to verify the compatibility between the film and the assistance system.

HEXIS decline any responsibility in the case of malfunction of one of these driver assistance systems if the vehicle sensors have been covered with Super Chrome film.

• Prior to any film application to a substrate prone to degassing, it is the responsibility of the prescriber and applicator to verify the compatibility of the film with the substrate and to carry out an optimal substrate degassing (in the case of synthetic glass such as PMMA, polycarbonate, etc.). The applicator is liable for any appearance of bubbles due to substrate degassing.
• Relatively conformable product, suitable exclusively for vehicles and other products on wheels.

Computer-aided cutting is at the customer's judgement.

• The film must only be applied by a qualified professional.
• The film must be thoroughly inspected before removal of the liner.

HEXIS decline all responsibility in the case of complaints made following the report of an appearance flaw (scratches, bubbles, …) noticed after film application or renewed cutting and winding of the film.

• Cut the film to the size of the part to be wrapped, allowing +10 cm (4 in.) of extra margin.
• The roll must be closed immediately and properly (masking tape) after use.

The remaining film must be stored on its original core to allow the film to keep an optimal aspect.

• It is recommended to remove all removable components (those that might hinder the application: covers, strips, indicator lights, etc.).
• The application surface must be clean, dry, smooth, non-porous and free of any traces of oil, grease, wax, silicon or components obtained via nanotechnology processes.

HEXIS absolve themselves from any liability in the case of complaints made if lifting of the film occurs following the failure to respect the cleaning instructions for the substrate described in the Application Guide available on the "Professionals" pages, category "Wrap vinyls", on our site www.hexis-graphics.com.

• For a uniform visual aspect, it is necessary to keep the same film application direction in order to ensure colour homogeneity according to the viewing angle.
• In the case of a painted substrate, apply only to original, undamaged, correctly prepared paintwork, or on paintwork that matches the manufacturer’s quality requirements and specifications. This type of paintwork must be dried and entirely degassed at the time of wrapping.

HEXIS absolve themselves from any liability for applications done on non-conforming or incompatible substrates.

• Heating temperature of the film during application procedures: 30 °C to 40 °C (86 °F to 104 °F).
• Maximum acceptable deformation: 30 %.
• If possible, make the finishing cuts around 3 mm (0.12 in.) wider than the surface to be wrapped. Then apply the surplus film to the adjacent or opposite sides, under the seals and strips, etc.

This procedure aims to limit the risk of the product peeling off, caused by the mechanical constraints exerted on the edges of the film.

• Carry out a finishing cleaning of the entire wrapped area. For this purpose, use the MATCLEAN product by ProTech^® and a microfiber cloth in order to remove any impurities that may have been deposited during the film application, taking care to not press too firmly on the edges.
• Super Chrome films get dirty more easily than other gloss PVC films. This type of film requires a more gentle and more thorough cleaning than any other film with, depending upon the case, a natural sponge or microfiber cloth, water or the ProTech^® products distributed by HEXIS.

Caution: Wait 92 hours after application, for optimal adhesion, before carrying out the first cleaning procedure with water.

HEXIS absolve themselves from any liability for cleaning procedures performed with products with undetermined additives, high pressure or automatic cleaning equipment, or any methods not specifically approved by HEXIS in writing.

Aanbevelingen

• Recommendations (whenever possible): Sunlight and prolonged exposure to weathering and pollution may provoke ageing of the film⁽¹⁾. A vehicle wrapped with Super Chrome film must be protected from bad weather (rain, dew…) as often as possible: during the day, park in the shade; at night, park the vehicle in a closed garage (otherwise, cover the vehicle with a loose protective cover).
• The colour of the films is controlled by HEXIS in order to ensure faithful reproduction of their colour tints. Nevertheless, in the case that your project requires the use of several rolls of the same colour reference, HEXIS recommend using only a single batch number of each reference.
• For each project, a sample (size: approximately A4 format) of each roll must be archived.

HEXIS reserve the right to refuse any client complaint for which the client is unable to provide the unused samples of the film suspected of non-conformity.

•  For further information on the application method of the Super Chrome films, please refer to the Application Guide available under the "Professionals" heading, category "Wrap vinyls", on our site www.hexis-graphics.com.

Chart: Dividing factor

• The real durability of a product depends on a large number of parameters, including, among others, the quality and preparation of the substrate, exposure (environment, climate, exposure angle), film maintenance, and degree of pollution.
