What type of adhesive do they use on there sig 60 film. I have a customer who bought a roll from somewhere, I didn't ask. They tried to do the install there self and couldn't handle it, so they called me.I told them I would do it but with no warranty. So, I leave and bring a piece of there film with me. I started playing around with it and when you remove the liner and wet it it gets really foggy. I was thinking maybe it was something other than ps adhesive, thats all I have ever used. Or just bad film. Any help is appreciated.

detach pressure sensitive is what that has and they has some real nasty the last couple years. It is thick and can be a real pain if you reverse roll it.

The only thing that will make it any better is to really flood the coating off with your sprayers. Put down some drop clothes and some towels. Take 2 sprayers if you have them and really wash it off. You of course need someone to hold the film up while you do this......

If you have any other questions about Sungard flat films I will happy to help if I can....I used them for 7 years before I learned just how great dry adhesives are.....

If you peel the liner and wet it, then rub it with you finger the haze will go away. If you dont whip it and just hang it and then squeegee, the water that comes from behind it is milky looking. I installed some sig 35 or 30 whatever its is and it wasn't like that. I will try to take a picture of it. So I guess I should up my price, it seems to be a real pain to mess with.

like I said they had some nasty Detach coatings for awhile a couple years ago and that is what you are describing! IF you flood it off it will not be a problem or at the least much less......

just have a bit more of a water mess to deal with than you should have to.....

charge more as you really need a helper to install it.....

I have a window that is 67x67, that ones gonna such. the rest are pretty small, nothing over 14x14. So just blast it with water and let the cloudy stuff run of. Or should I spray it down and let it sit for a while. I might end up backing out on this one. Why would anyone wanna make or deal with anything like this

Chris, you just have to flush it off.....it will lay down if you don't, but if it is like I am thinking then it will look all nasty if you get any sort of harder pressure in lines.....

the film will lay down and look fine, even without sun exposure, but it is hard to tell a customer this if you are selling it.....

lucky for you this is one where the customer thought they could DIY, so you have an edge.....

you might be better off to sell them a film you are comfortable with and can do with a bit less headache. You would also be able to give a good warranty instead of what you have offered.....

the film is just fine, but the DPS is a pain in the state you have found it.

I've seen it too with the signature line, mostly on rolls I had in stock for awhile. Looks fine until you pull the liner and spray the adhesive then it instantly fogged up. It should dry out fine, may take a day or two but it is rediculous to have it fog up as bad as it does.

      Dual Low E Question

      To clarify for any public folks reading and industry folks that may not know: The LowE dual coating spoke of by the OP is a rare bird for use in area south of Iowa,USA. The only reason(s) I believe Cardinal (based in Wisconsin) placed the second coating on surface 4 is, 1) is to sell that type glazing system in areas that experience extreme cold below to above 0 F for nights on end and on 4 it is more effective at retention for that use. Iowa is logically the furthest south it should be recommended for. That said, the other coating on surface 2 is the hi-performance coating. This high performance coating is capable of rejecting solar energy, in a LowE2 glazing system of 60%+/- and up to 94% when considering Low4. A LowE4 dual pane would be the ticket in Australia's seriously hot spots. Sadly, if it caught on there, it would impact the window film industry in regions it is useful. Although, LowE4 is pricey at this point in time. A friend of mine had a sun room built on his house in Southern Virginia using LowE4, even as a roof. The vast majority of dual coating LowE glazing involves no coating on surface 4, the exception being original LowE that has not been readily available since around year 2000. Surface 2 & 3 is considered the norm today, for warmer climates north of tropical. Also, the hi-performance LowE2, 3 & 4 glazing systems are very effective at UV reduction (to my understanding in the mid to upper 90's). Original LowE first came on the scene in my early years in the industry and many of us didn't know unless the owner told us, and even with that knowledge, we did not know film covering the coating on surface 4 would rendered LowE ineffective. Those days, single pane LowE existed and the coating would be on surface 2, then.

      Dual Low E Question

      Where I live in Western Australia, we generally focus more on solar energy rejection than heat retention. In recent years builders have jumped onto the low E and double-glazing bandwagon, telling their clients that they will have an energy efficient window, therefore saving them money on energy bills. What they don't tell them is that they will still be wanting to get their glass tinted once they realise how useless these types of windows are in our climate. I won't touch double glazed windows due to risks involved but with low E glass I tell the customer that we can only use a light scouring sponge on the surface to clean before installation, not our usual razor blades. They're usually cool with that. And if they're not, I'm not too bothered about missing out on their job.

      Any XPEL Dealers?

      Thats good there’s not too many other shops offering it. I think a lot of customers choose a tint company based off reviews.
