Cleaning: Varia Ecoresin
3form Varia ecoresin fins should be cleaned periodically. A
regular, seasonal cleaning program will dramatically help
prevent noticeable weathering and dirt build-up. 3form
recommends the use of the following common cleaning
products: Windex, Formula 409, Simple Green, Fantastik,
Virex, 10:1 Water/bleach Solution.
rinse the sheets with lukewarm water. remove dust and
dirt from Varia ecoresin with a soft cloth or sponge and a
solution of mild soap and/or liquid detergent in water. A 50:50
solution of isopropyl alcohol and water also works well. rinse
thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Do:
•
Always use a soft, damp cloth to blot dry. (rubbing with
a dry cloth can scratch the material and create a static
charge)
Do not:
•
Use scrapers or squeegees on Varia ecoresin.
•
Use scouring compounds, gasoline, benzene, acetone,
carbon tetrachloride, certain deicing fluids, lacquer
thinner or other strong solvents.
•
Use highly alkaline or abrasive cleaning agents.
•
rub with a dry cloth.
Cleaning: Felt
To remove airborne debris and dust, it is recommended to
periodically vacuum Felt edge fins. Please note the slight
shedding of fibers from the Felt is normal and not indicative of
any defect.
Important!
If a cleaning material is found to be incompatible
in a short-term test, it will usually be found to be incompatible
in the field. The converse, however, is not always true.
Favorable performance is no guarantee that actual end-use
conditions have been duplicated. Therefore, these results
should be used as a guide only and it is recommended that
the user test the products under actual end use conditions.
Usage Limitations
Do not
use cyanoacrylate or solvent type thread locking
materials with Varia ecoresin. To more permanently secure
hardware, use the recommended products from the 3form
Adhesives matrix.
Edge Sealing (Varia Ecoresin Only)
certain Varia ecoresin designed layers (organics, papers and
fabrics in particular) can wick moisture over time if the edges
become wet and are not adequately sealed. These Varia
ecoresin products should not be exposed to water or wet
conditions without first applying an approved edge sealing
treatment.
