Application and cleaning solutions

The application solution is the liquid sprayed onto the glass before positioning the film. It creates a water cushion between the glass and the adhesive, allowing the film to glide, be repositioned, and properly aligned before squeegeeing. Without this liquid, the film sticks immediately upon contact with the glass, making repositioning impossible.

Our application solutions are formulated for the right balance. Slippery enough to allow proper positioning time, but not too much so the film doesn’t drift on its own. They are compatible with all our films, leave no residue between the film and the glass, and evaporate cleanly during drying without affecting the adhesive.

Concentration is adjusted depending on the type of film and ambient temperature. In hot weather, drying is faster and a slightly more concentrated solution provides more working time. In cold weather, a more diluted solution is sufficient. Recommended dosages are indicated for each product.

Professional glass cleaner is very different from standard household glass cleaner. Consumer products contain ammonia and anti-streak agents that leave an invisible film on the glass. This film interferes with film adhesion and can create areas of detachment over time.

Our cleaners are formulated without ammonia, without residue, and without haze. They degrease the surface, remove remaining particles, and leave perfectly clean and chemically neutral glass, ready to receive the film. This is the final step of surface preparation and it determines the quality of adhesion throughout the film’s lifetime.

After removing an old film, adhesive residue almost always remains on the glass. Adhesive that has hardened over years cannot be removed with water or standard cleaners. The adhesive remover dissolves these residues without damaging the glass, seals, or surrounding materials.

Apply the product to the residue, let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe with a cloth or scrape with a scraper. The residue comes off easily. This saves significant time on replacement jobs, where removing the old film and cleaning residue accounts for half the work.

Glazed surfaces at ground level, storefronts, accessible partitions: these areas are exposed to tags, markers, and unwanted stickers. The anti-graffiti range covers both preventive and corrective approaches.

In prevention, the anti-graffiti treatment creates a protective layer on the film that prevents inks and paints from adhering. The tag remains on the surface and can be wiped off instead of penetrating the film.

In correction, the anti-graffiti cleaner dissolves spray paint, permanent markers, and sticker residue without damaging the film underneath. The glass returns to a clean appearance without removing or replacing the film.

The sprayer is the tool used to distribute the application solution and cleaner onto the glass. A good sprayer produces a fine, even mist that covers the entire surface without dripping. A poor sprayer creates uneven jets, pooling at the bottom, and dry spots at the top.

Our sprayers come in several formats. Trigger spray for small surfaces and quick touch-ups. Pre-pressure sprayer for medium surfaces: pump, spray, and maintain constant pressure without effort. Backpack sprayer for large jobs: several liters of solution, hands-free operation, and adjustable spray from fine mist to targeted jet.

The choice of sprayer depends on workload. An installer doing one window a week uses a spray bottle. An installer handling 20 m² per day needs a pressure sprayer. A team covering an entire building uses a backpack sprayer.
