Question 2

What is MTB Protex Bike Frame Protection Film?

Accepted Answer

MTB Protex Bike Frame Protection Film is high performance paint protection films that add a virtually invisible layer of protection from stone chips, gravel damage and everyday wear and tear to your bike frame.

The protection film can be added to the most vulnerable parts of your bike, i.e top tube, down tube, chain stays, etc. thereby protecting it from damage by forming an invisible protective shield

The bike frame protection kits are available in both transparent gloss and matt depending on your preferences.  Therefore, providing you with to the perfect look to compliment and preserve the colourway of your bike

The kits have been custom cut to provide the optimum level of protection for your bike frame.  Also it can be easily cut and trimmed during application to ensure a perfect fit for your particular bike.

The kits are also available in multiple custom cut sizes thereby providing an almost bespoke fitting to the contours and tube sizing on your bike.

The paintwork protection film can be applied either as either a dry or wet application and can be used for partial and full wraps of your bike.

Due to the special pressure sensitive nature of the adhesive on the film, the tape can be lightly applied and repositioned before the final pressure and application of the tape takes place.

The take can be easily removed months or years later, without leaving any residue on your frame.  As long as some simple rules are used and a little heat from a hairdryer will also help this process.

Question 3

What are the Main Differences Between Using a Wet or Dry Application Method for the Bike Frame Protection Film?

Accepted Answer

MTB Protex Bike Frame Protection Film is a great way to keep your bike frame looking new and protect it from scratches, chips, and other types of damage. There are two main methods for applying paint protection film: wet and dry.

The wet method involves applying a solution of water and soap to the bike frame before applying the film. This solution allows the film to be adjusted before it is permanently adhered to the bike frame’s surface. The wet method is generally preferred because it allows for a more forgiving and easier installation process. However, it can take longer to dry and requires more attention to detail during the installation process to ensure that there are no bubbles or creases.

On the other hand, the dry method involves applying the film directly to the bike frame’s surface without any additional solution. Using this method is typically more difficult to adjust the film once it has been applied. The dry method is faster and easier than the wet method, but it requires a higher level of skill and experience to ensure a smooth and seamless installation.

Ultimately, the choice between the wet and dry methods depends on the amount of time and patience you wish to use and the level of skill and experience of the installer. Both methods can provide excellent protection for your bike frame’s paint, as long as they are installed correctly.

Question 6

Terms of Use

Accepted Answer

The tape is only for the exclusive use on bike surfaces.  The tape is designed to be safe to use and will not deteriorate or degenerate a correctly applied and fully cured paint and lacquered surface.

It is essential that the correct application and removal instructions are followed, any type of damage is solely and exclusively the responsibility of the installer.

A test application should be carried out before the final application and adhesion of the tape checked after leaving for 24 hours to ensure the surface is correctly prepared and cured.

The tape must be bonded to a surface that is free of dirt, dust, grease, and any other debris otherwise the adhesive strength of the tape maybe impaired.

Before removing the tape warm it up using a hair dryer, carefully lift the tape at one corner, slowly and carefully pull the tape to remove it from the surface.

We recommend to continue using a hair dryer during the removal process.

No liability or responsibility is accepted for damage caused to the frame or components of the bike during the application or removal of the tape.

The processes involved in the manufacturing, application and curing of paint, lacquers, enamels, etc. for the bike frame and components are completely foreign to the supplier and therefore cannot guarantee when removing the tape that the surface remains intact.
