How to Apply VinylGuard Food-Grade Heat Shrink Coverings

Fast and Easy Application

Use a heat gun with a high velocity air blower (avaible from VinylGuard) or an oven for economical, large volume processing.

TO START

Cut a length of VinylGuard about 2" longer than the item to be covered
Slide the vinyl over the item, overhanging each end 1-inch
Apply heat to shrink the VinylGuard

USING A HEAT GUN

Hold the heat gun 3″ to 4″ away from the material to prevent burning caution – do not apply excessive heat directly to the crease
Slowly begin shrinking at one end — Rotate the item while rapidly moving the heat gun back and forth to avoid burning the vinyl
Apply sufficient heat to remove any wrinkles
Allow the VinylGuard to fully cool
Trim the excess vinyl with a sharp blade or utility knife

After shrinking and fully cooling, VinylGuard will not slip or loosen

Using an oven to cover tapered rollers and large quantities of straight rollers

Use a 300°F (149°C) oven to cover tapered conveyor rollers or to quickly shrink larger quantities of straight rollers

Place the conveyor rollers on a jig or holding fixture to allow the hot air to circulate
The rollers should remain in the oven approximately 4 minutes
Allow the VinylGuard to fully cool
Trim the excess vinyl with a sharp blade or utility knife

NOTE: Open flame sources of heat are not recommended for shrinking as they may burn or damage the vinyl and may not ensure uniform shrinking
