• The BFWIDE film is intended for vehicle body protection. It can also serve as a protection system for full-wrap films (HX20000, non-structured HX30000 and HX30SCH00) used for smooth and basic full-wraps without relief decoration.

The application of BFWIDE to full wrap films is at the customer's judgement. HEXIS recommend the use of pre-cut BFWIDE film for this particular application. As the adhesion of BFWIDE is permanent, its removal from a full wrap film can damage the latter. HEXIS decline any responsibility in the case of deterioration of a full wrap film caused by the application and removal of BFWIDE.

• Self-healing properties of the film at ambient temperatures: This phenomenon of reabsorbing scratches accelerates especially as the temperature increases.
• Cut the film to the size of the part to be wrapped, allowing +10 cm (4 in.) of extra margin.

The remaining film must be stored on its original core (do not cut the rolls into several lengths or widths, do not repackage the product); the roll must be closed immediately and properly protected (masking tape or roll-collars) after use in order to preserve all its qualities.

• Apply to a surface that is clean and free from any traces of contaminants (dust, grease, wax, silicone, etc.).

Particular care must be taken to clean the angles and periphery of the target surfaces in order to enable the film to adhere properly to the surface.

• In the case of painted substrates, self-adhesive media must only be applied to undamaged original paintwork. If the paintwork is not original and/or damaged, the application and the removal are at the judgement and risk of the installer.

Aanbevelingen

• Conformable product developed for the protection of painted bodywork, underbody, painted bumpers and rear-view mirror casings against chips caused by stones, insects.
• Excellent protection against vandalism (key scratches).
• The improved surface sliding of the BFWIDE film enables you to reduce squeegee friction during application and facilitates the film cleaning.
• To facilitate application, HEXIS have several types of squeegees in their range of accessories, ranging from soft to hard (plastic or felt).
• For more information on the application method of BFWIDE, please refer to the Application Guide on the "Professionals" pages, category "Solar and safety films" on our site www.hexis-graphics.com.

• Vertical exposure :
  up to 7 years (under normal road use conditions).

Applied to a full wrap film with a durability of less than 7 years, BFWIDE will increase the durability against yellowing and cracking of the full wrap film by up to one year (within the limit of the BFWIDE durability).

• Lifespan depends on the type of substrate, its preparation, exposure conditions and nature and frequency of the cleaning.

For instance, it is estimated that a south-facing exposure will divide the durability by two. The same applies to a horizontal exposure. In addition, elevated temperatures (above +50 °C) (+122 °F) or pollution significantly reduce this durability.
