Processing instructions for CYS TPU paint protection films
Status: Jan. 01, 2025
Please note
CYS TPU films are paint-protecting color films for vehicle parts and vehicle wrapping. The application of CYS TPU films and their removal should only be carried out by qualified specialist personnel (e.g. trained and experienced advertising technicians or wrappers) in accordance with our processing instructions. If CYS TPU films are applied or removed incorrectly or improperly, the paintwork of the vehicle concerned may be damaged and/or the durability of the CYS TPU films may be significantly reduced.
Durability expectation
The expected service life specified in the technical data sheets describes maximum values that can be achieved under normal Central European environmental conditions. No guarantee, warranty or other claims can generally be derived from the information on the expected maximum service life. They are based on empirical values from artificial and natural weathering results under standard conditions. The actual durability that can be achieved depends on a number of individual factors, such as care, environmental conditions and preparation of the substrate to be bonded. Slight changes due to ageing are possible during the period of expected durability. TPU films have a very high weather and UV stability by nature, there are no significant restrictions regarding the expected durability when applied horizontally.
A reduction in the useful life of CYS TPU films can occur, among other things:
- when used on unsuitable surfaces
- if the substrate has not been sufficiently cleaned
- if films are permanently exposed to high temperatures and/or high humidity
- if films are not cleaned regularly; e.g. if insect residues or bird droppings are not removed promptly
- in the event of prolonged stays in highly polluted environmental zones (e.g. air pollution / particles from industry)
Perfect preparation for a long-lasting film!
Processing of CYS TPU Films
For optimum results, the vehicle paintwork must be OEM-specified, undamaged and free from rust, scratches or stone chips. Thorough cleaning without wax and a final surface treatment with silicone remover or isopropanol are essential. Matt CYS TPU films are applied dry, while glossy films are applied wet with mounting fluid. Application should be carried out in a clean, dust-free room at a surface temperature of at least 18°C, ideally between 21°C and 23°C. This ensures a flawless appearance and long durability.
