The following Avery Dennison literature will provide necessary information to the user for proper application, storage, and other requirements and is available upon request from your Avery Dennison representative or from the Avery Dennison website (www.graphics.averydennison.com).

Avery Dennison SW900 Wrapping Film is designed for application on to solid surfaces such as passenger vehicles and buses.

Important Note: Never use a wet application method to apply this film.

Some slight color shift may occur between rolls or lots, therefore, minimizing the mixing of rolls/lots on a specific vehicle is encouraged. If multiple rolls are needed to be sure to use only rolls from the same production lot.

All vehicle substrates must be cleaned according to Avery Dennison recommended cleaning practices as outlined in Instructional Bulletin #1.10 “Substrate Cleaning and Preparation”.

Due to the unique finish and manufacturing process of metallic and pearlescent films, variances in color can be visible when the material is oriented in different directions. When utilizing metallic, pearlescent and Color Flow films, always keep the application direction of the film consistent with the orientation of the film when cut from the roll and applied to the vehicle. One roll should be used per vehicle, wherever possible to minimize any possible color shifts between rolls or lots.

See Instructional Bulletin #4.08 “Application Avery Dennison SW 900 (Supreme Wrap) Film” for complete application recommendations. For cleaning and care recommendations see Instructional Bulletin #1.50.

NOTE: SW900 Series is designed as a wrap film. Cutting for the purpose of preparing sizes or shapes has proven to be feasible. However, sign cutting of letters and graphics is not recommended.

Important Note: Only use Avery Dennison recommended cleaning products and solutions (noted in Instructional Bulletin #1.50). Cleaning and maintenance products should conform to the following:

• Free from abrasive components
• Ideally pH balanced, thus not highly acidic or alkaline (pH level between 5 and 9)
• Free from alcohol (non isopropyl), acids, ammonia, chlorine, glycol ethers, harmful detergents, petroleum distillates and phosphates

This Avery Dennison product is not designed or recommended for the following uses. Unsuitable applications or exposure conditions include, but is not limited to:

• Paint that is not thoroughly cured or dried
• Low surface energy substrates (i.e. Tedlar® coatings, rubber, unpainted plastic etc)
• Substrate surfaces that are not clean and smooth (little or no variation in texture)
• Painted substrates with poor paint-to-substrate, or paint-to-paint bond
• Stainless steel
• Film applied to non-Avery Dennison Films
• Film applied to pre-existing graphics (pre-approval required)
• Watercraft below the static water line
• Watercraft which are not edge sealed
• Non-OEM painted vehicles
• Graphic removal from paint with poor adhesion or existing graphics
• Graphics exposed to oil, harsh chemicals, or gasoline vapors or spills
• Graphics where application tape must adhere to liner
• Sign cutting of letters and graphics

The removability listed in the physical characteristics section “Clean removability” means removable with less than 20% adhesive residue when using appropriate heat and chemical removal methods. See Instructional Bulletin #4.10 for removal instructions.

Avery Dennison does not warrant removability from the following substrates:

• Surfaces with poor paint-to-substrate adhesion
• Wallboard (painted or unpainted)
• Pre existing graphics that must remain intact; damage to existing graphic when film is removed
• Improperly cured paint
• Oxidized or chalked substrates
• Stainless Steel

Avery Dennison makes no warranty for:

• Paint/Clear Coat Staining: Avery Dennison does not warrant vehicle paint staining that may be visible after removing material which has cracked or discolored. At the first sign of a change in the surface of the material contact your Avery Dennison Sales or Technical Representative.
• Ease or speed of removal of any graphic
• Removal from automotive paint that is greater than 5 years old
• Removal from paint that is improperly cured
• Removal from aged paint or metals, surface oxidation or chalking; user must test, approve, and accept liability for such applications
• Saltwater marine applications
• Marine applications below the water line

• Because of the unique properties and varieties of glass, special considerations must be considered for windows and graphic applications. Avery Dennison accepts no liability for glass breakage.
• Glass absorbs heat when exposed to sunlight. The degree of absorption across windows can vary because of shading, heating, and cooling ventilation, and insulation from window frames. These temperature differences across the window produce stress, which can cause glass breakage. The ability of glass to resist breakage because of temperature stress is affected by window size, glass thickness, glass treatments, quality, and design.
• Window cleaning methods also vary, from the type of cleaners used, to the washing methods employed. Specific chemicals used in window cleaners may affect the adhesion of pressure-sensitive graphics. Power washing methods may impact the adhesion of graphics, if the water pressure or temperature exceeds the graphic’s adhesion capability. Power washing window graphics is not recommended.

NOTE: Avery Dennison does not recommend the use of SW900 Wrapping Film to be used as block out film for window applications.

Durability is the period of time the product is expected to perform satisfactorily when applied in vertical exposure conditions by zone as defined in Instructional Bulletin 1.30, provided that the film is properly stored, converted and installed in accordance with Avery Dennison guidelines. The term of Avery Dennison’s warranty is equal to the product’s durability.

Abrasion and Loss of Gloss are not covered by any Avery Dennison Warranty. These changes are considered normal wear and tear.

Other factors which may reduce the durability of this product series include: surface texture, surface preparation, application method, angle and direction of the sun, environmental conditions, cleaning & maintenance.

Products containing petroleum distillates or solvents such as soaps, waxes, or protective coatings, void any warranty, and may cause premature failure of the material.

Matte finished materials are subject to extreme color and gloss shift when exposed to cleaners, wax, and polish. Test an inconspicuous area prior to using any cleaners, wax, and polish. The end user assumes complete responsibility to ensure that matte finishes are not affected during cleaning or protecting.

Reference IB 1.30 for zones by geographic location.

• Non-vertical: The face of the graphic is between 10° to 45º from vertical. Specifically for Supreme Wrapping Film (SW900) Non-vertical exposure performance will be calculated using the Horizontal exposure value.
• Horizontal: The face of the graphic is between 45° and 90º from vertical, for Supreme Wrapping Film (SW900) Horizontal applications will be warranted as stated in this ICS Performance Guarantee Bulletin.
• Vertical: The face of the graphic is between 0 and 10 degrees from vertical.

*Colors with gold flake include:

Films with face thickness 4 mil (102 micron) and above may have reduced conformability. These films include:
