Description
Professional, colourless protective film – protective laminate for lamps, sills, car bodywork and bumpers.
High-quality colourless film (protective laminate) ORAGUARD 270G is a colourless, glossy PVC laminate with a UV filter, 150 microns thick! The laminate provides high protection for areas particularly vulnerable to scratches, sand or stone impacts. Recommended for protecting headlights, mudguards, sills, mirrors, bonnets and lower door panels. It can also be used under door handles, where the car's paintwork is exposed to frequent scratches from fingernails.

Tools useful for installing film
-
- squeegee – included in the set
- sharp knife for cutting film
- heat gun for imparting slight plasticity to the film
- water for application (preferably demineralised)
- agents for cleaning and degreasing the surface
- paper tape (for preparing the template)

Installation of film
Remember, the recommended temperature for applying the film is +10°C.
- Thoroughly clean the surface to which you will be applying the film. Remember about recesses and gaps. After cleaning, degrease the entire surface.
- Peel the film off the backing paper and spray the adhesive side with demineralised water. Also spray the element to which the film will be applied with water.
- Apply the film to the element and start smoothing it from the centre towards the edges.
- Ensure greater plasticity of the film by using a heat gun. Under the influence of high temperature, the film becomes slightly plastic and easier to fit to such a curved element.
- After sticking the film, it should be trimmed (cut off any excess film). The photo shows an example of our work with a blade on glued film. Cutting film on paintwork or lights requires skill and experience, as there is a high risk of damaging the paintwork. The film should be cut and not sliced.
-
Removing the film
Before removal, the film should be heated with a heat gun, then it will come off the element nicely along with the adhesive.

Manufacturer's comments and recommendations
The surface to which the film is applied must be cleaned of dust, grease and other contaminants that could adversely affect the adhesion of the product. Freshly varnished or painted surfaces should be left to dry for at least 3 weeks. The compatibility of selected varnishes or paints with self-adhesive film should be checked before final application of the film. Before applying the film, check that there are no chemical reactions between the film and the substrate. Matt films are more sensitive to processing than glossy films. Therefore, they should be handled with greater care, both during application and cleaning. Contamination affects the appearance of matt films, so these materials should be cleaned more frequently. In addition, all information regarding film application published by Orafol Europe GmbH should be taken into account.
