POLYCARBONATE CARE & MAINTENANCE

The proprietary UV and Abrasion Resistant surface coating on SHIELDS® SUPERCOATED™ polycarbonate significantly improves performance. Periodic cleaning using proper procedures and compatible cleaners are recommended to prolong service life. Tiger Corp. polycarbonate is SUPERCOATED™ on both sides.

CLEANING THE SUPERCOAT™ HARD-COAT

1.Wash with a mild solution of soap or detergent and lukewarm water.

2.Using a soft cloth or sponge, gently wash the sheet to loosen dirt and grime and rinse well with clean water.

3.To prevent water spotting, thoroughly dry with chamois or cellulose sponge.

4.Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners, squeegees and/or other cleaning implements that may mar or gouge the coating.

GRAFFITI REMOVAL

Butyl cellosolve (for removal of paints, marking pen inks, lipstick, etc.). The use of masking tape, adhesive tape or lint removal tools works well for lifting off old weathered paints.

To remove labels, stickers, etc., the use of kerosene or VM&P naphtha are generally effective. When the solvent will not penetrate sticker material, apply heat (hair dryer) to soften the adhesive and promote removal.

IMPORTANT: If a material is found to be incompatible in a short-term test, it will usually be found to be incompatible in the field. The converse, however, is not always true. Favorable performance is no guarantee that actual end-use conditions have been duplicated.

Therefore, these results should be used as a guide only and it is recommended that the user test the products under actual end-use conditions.
