- Emergency or time-sensitive applications in cold weather
- Installations in unheated warehouses or outdoor conditions
Important Notes
- Clean removing is guaranteed only on uncompromised OEM painted surfaces (free of rust, loose paint, or damage)
- For painted wall applications, always conduct vinyl-wall compatibility testing due to variations in paint formulations
- Transit authorities may require all materials to be specified
- Printed durability depends on ink system and environmental conditions
- Shelf life: 1 year from factory shipment when stored at 70°F (21°C) and 50% relative humidity
