MetaGuard ‘FloorArt’ vinyl
 100 micron matt embossed film gives a durable protection to graphics, with easy to clean finish. This versatile product can also be applied to wall
graphics, for a one product solution. MetaGuard FloorArt has an anti-slip finish tested in accordance with BS 7676-2:2002 certification (Slider
96) and UK Slip Resistance Guidelines. The recommended matched media is Metamark MD3-B or MDP-H High Tack. Suitable for use with
Solvent, Eco Solvent and Latex prints.
suitable for indoors and long life outdoors Applying outdoors on anything other than completely smooth surfaces is not advised for any length of time, do not apply to rough or pitted or loose surfaces as water will seep under sit in crevices and then and de peel the transfer from the floor.

Application should be done in dry dust free conditions, by peeling away the backing and slowly rolling and smoothing the transfer to the surface to avoid air bubbles. Repositioning is allowed, and a slight spritz of soapy water before application will help removal and refit in the first 2 or 3 minutes. See more detailed instructions here.
Material Handling
 Ensure that the material has reached room temperature and a relative humidity of 50% before printing.
 Do not handle the face film directly and ensure it is free from dust and static.
Overlaminating
 The recommended matched print medias are Metamark MD3-B or MDP-H High Tack.
 Suitable for use on Solvent, Eco Solvent inkjet and Latex prints on Metamark print media. Not suitable for UV prints.
 Allow the inks to cure before overlaminating, usually 24-48 hours. Failure to do so can cause delamination, tunnelling and shrinkage.
 Apply around 30C on the top roller to prevent silvering of the adhesive.
 The user should determine suitability of the overlaminate to the print media
Application and Care of Floor Graphics
 Apply floor graphics using a dry application method, to smooth, flat, sealed surfaces only. Due to the variability of paints and finishes it is
recommended to test a sample for adhesion.
 Ensure the floor surface is clean from contamination, dust free, and any painted surface is sound.
 No liability is given for damage to painted surfaces as the bond between the paint and the wall is out of our control.
 Make sure edges are applied well. Allow 24 hours to cure before being exposure to moisture or cleaning.
 Avoid exposure to heavy traffic. If edges of graphics begin lifting, replace graphics immediately to avoid the risk of tripping hazard.
 The product meets slip resistance standards when wet however slip resistance is reduced when wet or dirty.

Application The Grafiprint floor graphics laminate, reference SOL, was especially designed for prints that need to be applied on the floor. Tests in accordance with British Standard 7976 indicate a low slip risk in dry conditions. The floor graphic laminate is meant for indoor use. In case the laminate is used outdoors, the antiskid characteristics can not be guaranteed due to wet conditions (e.g. when it rains). Please also be careful with indoor floor graphics that are wet. The Grafiprint floor graphics laminate, reference SOL, can also be used for traditional vertical applications outdoors (not on the floor). In that case, the expected life span amounts to 1 to 2 years. When used indoors, the expected life span amounts to several years.
