Caring for UV Printed BioThane®
UV Printed BioThane® is easy to maintain, but a little extra care is needed to protect the printed design from scuffs, scratches, or delamination.
– Printed Side: Clean using only warm water and a mild, non-chemical, color-free soap.
– Printed Side: Wash by hand, gently rubbing the surface—avoid using cloths, scrub brushes, or abrasive materials.
– Non-Printed Side (if applicable): For one-sided printed material, the non-printed side can be gently cleaned with a soft cloth or sponge.
– Drying: Air drying is recommended, but the material can be gently wiped dry if needed.
With proper care, your UV Printed BioThane® gear will maintain its vibrant design and durability for years to come.
