Application instructions for working with plastic sheets
(self-adhesive and non-adhesive).
| |
|
The surface must be dry, smooth and free of dst, dirt, grease, wax
and silicone.
Always clean non-absorbent surfaces with alcohol (ethanol, IPA).
On porous and highly absorbent surfaces such as masonry and particle
board, we recommend a sealing application using our dispersion adhesive
SIBUKLE D22HV as suitable adhesive for non-adhesive sheets. Self-adhesive
sheets are suitable for absorbent surfaces and for non-absorbent surfaces
as well.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a solvent-based
adhesive as this could partly dissolve the sheet backing!
Surface tension must amount to at least 38 dyn (industrial information).
Concave resp. convex surfaces - mechanical fixing is absolutely
required! |
|
|
| |
|
Unpack rolled goods approximately 24 hours prior to use. Lay out flat
at room temperature and if required, apply additional weight. |
|
|
| |
|
Any such activities must be carried out on the front surface of the
material.
In case of sheets coated on both sides, please note the instructions
on the patterned side. |
Cutting,
Drilling, Punching, Sawing |

The ideal working temperature is between +15° C - +30° C
(60° F - 86° F).
The decorative sheets must be acclimatised, i.e. brought to
room temperature before working (avoidance of condensation on the
adhesive surface).
A temperature increase of 10° C (50° F) will cause
our products to expand by approximately 0.7 mm over a length of
1 m.
In
general,
a gap
of 1.0 mm - 2.0 mm should be left between the sheets for expansion.
In case of high ambient temperatures, or temperatures subject
to large fluctuations, the expansion gap should be larger and the
slightly smaller sheet size be used.
Take care to avoid trapped air bubbles! The use of a medium-hard
rubber roller is recommended.
Gradually remove the adhesive backing cover, and do not touch
the adhesive surface. Then press firmly onto the working surface.
In order to avoid any lifting along the edges due to material extension
or expansion, we suggest the use of our profiles or alternative
profiles (of wood, metal, plastic, a.s.o.)
Trim or edge profiles must not prevent possible expansion of the
SIBU-sheets! |

|
All plain surfaces are safeguarded against damage by a protective
film, which should be removed only when the application process is
completed. |
|
|
|
|
For heavy dirt:
- Use a standard plastic or glass cleaning agent.
- Do not spray the cleaner directly onto the material surface, but
sparingly onto a soft cloth.
For light dirt:
- Use a soft cleaning cloth, which is dust- and dirt-free.
Do not use abrasives, cleaning agents containing solvents,
or pure alcohol. |

Our products are not recommended for
use in direct sunlight and temperatures of over 50°C (122°F).
When using our products, it should be noted that they are normally
flammable and may not be employed near open flames or other heat sources.
The information and instructions for use are not binding, but have
been compiled to the best of our knowledge as a result of company
tests and know-how. We guarantee the uniform quality of our products.
Customary colour variation is no reason for complaints! The results
of working and cleaning are the responsibility of the user, as we
have no influence on unusual circumstances. Therefore, we recommend
that our products be submitted to a suitability test regarding the
desired application and processing methods. Do not fix packing tapes
directly on the decorative surface!
