- The strong self-adhesive film is suitable for direct bonding to smooth and rough surfaces, e.g. plasterboard, concrete, metals, glass, wooden panels and other materials.
- The substrate must be in good condition, dry, clean and dust-free.
- Check and visually inspect the sheets for deviations and/or defects before processing and, if necessary, apply the adhesive in an upturned position.
- Roll out the material on a flat surface and leave flat under normal acclimatisation conditions (approx. 20ยฐC and 50-65 rH% for 12 hours). Individual decks can be stacked.
- Test adhesion and substrate/adhesive compatibility before use
- The dry application method is recommended
- Measure the area to be covered exactly & cut the material to size with 2 cm excess on each side (edge tolerance of +/- 5 mm)
- Protect neighbouring surfaces from the strong self-adhesive film with masking tape
- Tip: the material can be cut into the desired shapes using a plotter or laser
- The material can be bonded to the substrate in various ways. Depending on surface size, material size or to optimise waste. Both vertical and horizontal applications are possible. Tip: Processing works best with a team of two people.
- Position the material on the surface
- Fix the material to the substrate with masking tape
- Detach the first 10-20cm of the yellow liner and fold it back
- Use a rubber roller to press the material onto the surface in a straight line. Apply sufficient pressure so that the adhesive film adheres well. Tip: Stick precisely – With this strong industrial adhesive film, readjustment is not possible or only possible with difficulty.
- Gradually peel off the liner with both hands & press the material down firmly with a rubber roller
- Once the material has been applied to the surface, carefully remove the masking tape
- Press all edges carefully and firmly with a rubber roller or a soft squeegee (glass, corners)
- Remove excess material with a cutter knife & ruler
- Double seam cut and overlap: Further strips must be applied with a double seam cut with an overlap of approx. 2 cm (edge tolerance of +/- 5 mm)
Tip: Stick a strip of masking tape with low adhesion vertically onto the edge of the already applied surface for orientation and to protect the lower sheet. Make sure that the strips run parallel to each other. Use a cutting ruler to cut through both strips at the same time and peel off the edge strips so that the strips lie together seam to seam. Press down the seam area - Applications on inside and outside 90ยฐ corners are possible, but material may peel off in some cases. The inclination of the film must therefore be checked in advance
- Application to glass: Applying the strips to glass requires additional attention. The adhesion of the adhesive tape to the smooth surface of glass is very strong, making repositioning impossible. Therefore, take special care to ensure that the film is aligned and in the correct position. Place the strips directly next to each other (butt joint). Observe the edge tolerance of +/- 5mm
- Final work: Clean the surface with a fine cloth or clean brush and remove excess natural fibres.
- Soft brush
- Cutter with sharp blades and cutting ruler
- Dry anti-slip gloves
- Marker pen for positioning
- Masking tape with low adhesion
- Soft rubber roller
- Felt squeegee
- Lint-free cloth for cleaning
The self-adhesive film is a permanent adhesive with high adhesive strength, which ensures good adhesion to a variety of smooth and textured surfaces. Clean and damage-free removal from surfaces is not to be expected. It is recommended to test the adhesion and removal on the substrate in advance.
Hints & tips for removing the adhesive film:
- Remove the film slowly
- Start to peel off the film firmly at the top – at an angle of 120ยฐ to 180ยฐ from the wall
- Do not use chemicals
- Low heat (30ยฐC – 40ยฐC) can be used on a suitable substrate – not suitable for plasterboard or windows, for example
- Blade scrapers can make honing easier
- Remove adhesive residue and clean the surface
- Store the product in closed, dry rooms at normal temperatures (approx. 20ยฐC, 30-60% relative humidity) protected from light.
- Recommendation for storage:
- Roll goods: hanging storage system (e.g. paternoster)
- Single decks: horizontal position (e.g. drawer system)
- Any deviations and/or defects in the goods must be reported to ORGANOID immediately in writing. Please check whether the delivery has any deviations and/or defects before installation.
- Natural surfaces from ORGANOID consist of natural plant fibres, which is why individual products of the same type may differ slightly in colour, smell or fibre composition.
- Dimensional deviations of up to +/- 2% are technically unavoidable with these natural products. Minor deviations in the area of these biological characteristics therefore do not constitute defects and do not provide a basis for warranty claims.
