Installation Instructions
FloorTac ™
Print Media
To ensure proper usage of FloorTac™ printable media, please follow the recommendations listed below.
Recommendations for Installation
- FloorTac™ may be used on commercial fl oor tiles, sealed wood, sealed concrete, waxed vinyl, marble, terrazzo, and ceramic tiles.
Application and Removal Instructions
1. The size of the FloorTac™ graphic aff ects the method of application.
2. FloorTac™ must be applied indoors to clean fl oors in excellent condition. The fl oor surface must be clean and free of oil, grease, and coatings. The sealants, coatings, and paints must have excellent adhesion to the fl oor and it must not be loose or uneven.
2. For smaller graphics, remove the release liner found on the rear of the print to expose the adhesive. For larger graphics, pull back 3” of the release liner on the top of the graphic to expose a small amount of adhesive. Crease the release liner to create a hinge that holds the exposed adhesive away from the fl oor.
3. Clean the fl oor thoroughly and allow it to dry prior to applying the graphic. Use an alcohol moistened, lint- free cloth to remove any grease or oil that may remain. Dry the surface before the alcohol evaporates to prevent a residue being from being left behind.
3. Position the graphic in the intended location, using a squeegee to apply the top of the graphic and work down to remove the air as the graphic is applied from the center outward. Overlap the area with each pass to ensure proper air removal.
4. The graphic must be applied in temperatures above 50º F.
4. Remove any air bubbles that may remain by pushing them out toward the edges of the graphic with the squeegee. Ensure the fl oor graphic is attached fi rmly to the fl oor surface, especially around the edges.
5. If multiple panels are used, butt the edges together. Do not overlap.
6. Do not scrub or polish the graphic or its surrounding areas for 24 hours after the application.
7. The FloorTac™ graphic can be removed by pulling an edge back at an angle and using quick tugs. If the fl oor was previously waxed, it is recommended to wax again once the graphic is removed.
Please refer to the FloorTac™ TDS and MSDS for more information.
