13.5 Flammability:

The graphic film should fall under min. class B when tested as per UIC-564-20R Appendix 12.

13.6 Temperature Resistance:

The film shall be resistant to temperatures between -10°C and +100°C without any visible changes such as detachment cracks, bubble formation and color changes. This property is to be tested as per clause 16.3.

13.7 Dimensional Stability:

The shrinkage of the graphic films after application shall not exceed 0.2%. This is to be tested as per clause 16.3.

13.8 Resistance to Detergents:

The graphic films shall be resistant to detergents used by the IR for exterior cleaning of the coaches. The surface of the sealed film shall not soften and the color and the adhesive power shall not change. The same applies to surface softening and to all kind of detachments (waves, bubbles etc.). This should be tested as per clause 16.5.

13.9 Wash and Attrition Resistance:

The graphic films shall not suffer any visible color and gloss changes, detachments, racks, bubbles etc. during external coach washing in accordance with IR field practices. Furthermore the films shall not expand. The graphic films along with over laminate shall not show any visible color and gloss changes which tested as per ASTM D 1044 using cleaning solution as per clause 16.5.

13.10. Marking of the product: 1. For identification the box of the accepted finished products shall be clearly marked with a capital letters having height of more than 50mm either by printing, stamping or needle perforation. 2. The marking should consist of the date of manufacture (month and year for example 12/04) of the finished product as well as manufacturer of the base material.

14. APPLICATION OF GRAPHICS 29 29 14.1. Application of Graphics have to b e done using recommended application tools as mentioned by the manufacturer of the graphic film. The applicator has to show experience/training certificate of doing similar application on any moving vehicle by the manufacturer of the graphic film.

14.2 Application of the graphic film has to be done on the surface without using any soap solution and water (Dry application to make faster application and protect the paint of the coach). 14.3 The application tool should be a nylon molded squeeze with low friction sleeve, which will prevent scratches on the graphics, and a nylon rivet brush with wooden handle to apply graphics on the rivets.

15. REMOVAL OF FILMS 15.1 The time taken for removal of previous graphic & application of new graphic films should not be more than three hours per coach. 15.2 The removal of the applied film should not be tedious. The removal should be done using a hot air blower but the temperature should not exceed 70°C. In case any film or adhesive residue is observed after removal the residue should be possible to remove by use of ISO propyl alcohol and lint free cloth. 15.3 The removal in no way should damage the painted surface of the coach. The advertiser shall be liable for damages evident after removal of the film. The coach should be returned in the same condition as it was handed over initially. 15.4 The advertiser shall be responsible for removal of the film at the time of termination of contract. The security deposit may accordingly be retained till the time of termination of contract.

16.0 TESTING THE VINYL GRAPHIC FILM

16.1 Adhesive power: The adhesive power shall be tested as per ASTM D 3330, procedure A for 180°C peel strength on a standard test panel of Stainless Steel, conditioned as per ASTM D 4332 at a peel off velocity of 360mm/minute . 16.2 Controlled release adhesion: This shall be tested visually for presence of air channels on the adhesive side of the base film after the removal of release liner. 16.3 Temperature resistance: Two test specimens 25mm x 200mm are stuck onto test plates of stainless steel, polished to a completely plane surface and are subsequently stored at standard reference atmosphere. The Specimens are subjected to temperature changes for seven cycles each comprising of 8 hours of -10°C and 16 hours 90°C. 16.4 Dimensional stability: Four 160mm x 160mm test specimens are stuck onto degreased and etched aluminum plates with the dimension of 150x150x8mm and are stored for 72 hours in standard reference atmosphere. The projecting test specimen is then cut with a sharp knife (razor blade) along the test plate. Afterwards, the test specimens are stored for 48 hrs. at 70°C and are then cooled down for 2 hours in standard reference atmosphere of 23+/-1°C and 50% relative humidity. Measurement of the shrinkage at two measuring points in longitudinal and transervse directions should be done.

30 30

16.5 Resistance against detergents: The test is to be carried out with two test solutions Duration of test: 24 hrs. ‘A’ Solution: ‘B’ Solution:

40% phosphoric acid 10% Fatty alcohol polyethylene Glycol ether - 15% emulsifying agent 10% Sodium cumene sulphonate (40% solution) 45% water (distilled) - 5% NTA liquid (40% solution) Trilon A, BASF) - 5% Triethanclamine - 20% Totally demineralized water
