Site Shield

Product Intent

Once applied, Site Shield provides a barrier against detritus and other forms of debris and prevents it from bonding directly to glass. After the coating system has performed its intended role, it can be quickly and easily removed from the surfaces onto which it has been applied. Our rational behind the development of Site Shield was to reduce the time of application, provide the necessary levels of protection to surfaces and keep the removal time to a minimum. We hope that Site Shield meets your expectations and offers a new tool to overcome the unnecessary and costly consequences of glass refurbishment and replacement.

Application

In order to achieve the intended results, we recommend the following application process:

1. Ensure that the area to be coated is dry and free of debris.
2. Pre-wipe any areas of exposed uPVC with the provided wipe (Wipe A) See Note.
3. Hold the aerosol up to 300mm away from the surface.
4. Spray horizontally in a left-to-right direction, covering the full surface.
5. Allow 10-30 seconds between each coat – dependent on ambient temperature.
6. We recommend three coats to provide full coverage, but more can be applied.
7. Remove any overspray from bare uPVC with the provided acetone wipes (Wipe B) See Note.
8. The applied coating will be fully cured after 4-hours.

Note: Should uPVC elements of the window frame not have the typical factory applied film tape or, if there are areas of the uPVC which are not covered by the film tape, care should be taken to pre-protect and to remove any overspray of Site Shield from the bare or unprotected areas of the uPVC.

It is therefore necessary to ensure that Steps 2 and 7 above are undertaken in full.

If Site Shield is left to dry on bare/unprotected uPVC for more than 24-hours, the provided acetone wipes (Wipe B) and a light abrasive agent such as T-Cut may be required to restore plastics back to original form.
Disclaimer: Site Shield takes no responsibility should these necessary steps not be followed.

Removal

To effectively remove the product from the surface it has been applied to take the following steps:

1. Starting from a corner, begin to remove the film coating.
2. To aid in continuous film removal, keep as close to the surface as possible whilst removing.
3. Any residual film coating can be easily removed with an acetone wipe.
4. Buff glass with a clean dry cloth.
5. Removed film can be disposed of in a similar manner to other plastic materials on site.
