• The films should preferably be stored in the same environment as the cutting station.
• If the pressure during cutting is too high, the protective liner (silicone-coated paper) may slightly crack causing adhesive bleeding. This would make the weeding process more difficult and the paper liner could even peel off in the cutting area. In any case, it is recommended to weed the material immediately after the cutting.
• 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.
• Possibility of transferring the HXS5000 films using the film tapes Hex904, Hex905, Hex910, Hex915 or Hex930.
• Using tape or self-adhesive film on the HXS5433B surface will modify its appearance.

When removing the tape or self-adhesive film, sequins are torn off from the film surface and leave a visible mark.

• Adhesion to glass, steel, aluminium, PVC, melamine, etc. except grain substrates or substrates coated with acrylic paint.
• In the case of an already painted substrate, 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.

• 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.

Chart 1 : Vertical durabilities⁽¹⁾ Central Europe

• The pigmentation (colour) of the PVC affects the stability duration of the dyes. An estimate of such a durability is confirmed by accelerated UV ageing tests performed on the HXS5000 films and by natural outdoor weathering.
• The durability indicated above is obtained specifically in vertical outdoor exposure (± 10°). The conditions of durability indicated in Chart 1 are inherent to this position up to a few degrees. Other positions accentuate climatic influences and an alteration in gloss or colour, or even a slight dusting may appear. Application to a vehicle bonnet is particularly severe, due to the horizontal exposure and the heat from the engine.
• To estimate the durabilities for non-vertical exposure, divide the durabilities in Chart 1 by the factors given in Chart 2.

Chart 2: 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), graphics maintenance, and degree of pollution.
