Self-adhesive Shelter Off-Road
protection is a composite shock and scratch resistant transparent
compound with visco-elastic behavior. Shelter Off-Road widely
increases the shock-resistance of carbon-fiber or metal structures
it’s applied to.
EXCLUSIVE
FEATURES:
- Protects against scratches and
shocks
- Easy to apply
- Lightweight
- Perfect adhesion also on curved
surfaces
- Doesn’t turn yellow over
time
- Visco-elastic behavior reduces
vibrations
CHARACTERISTICS:
-Shelter Off-Road protects from
impacts spreading energy within its
structure
-Is abrasion and solvent resistant,
doesn’t yellow and has a semi-structural adhesion to the surface
it’s applied onto: normal bicycle washing won’t affect it, but it
can be removed – if needed – without damaging the underlying
paint.
-ref. ASTM D256 Impact test
-complies with AFERA 4001 after 24 hours from
application
Available in different
sizes/variations:
Part #: EM006: Shelter Kit
Off-Road
A sheet with pre-cut elements specific
for off-road purposes, to easily protect sensitive frame areas
(chainstays, down tube, cable/frame contact points, horizontal tube
against brake levers contact).
Part #: EM048 Shelter Roll Off-Road
- 1m Roll
Recommended for enthusiasts, shops or
teams. Size: 54mm x 1m, 1.2 mm
thick.
Part #: EM008 Shelter Roll Off-Raod SHOP
- 5m Roll
Recommended for shops or teams. Size 54mm x
5m, 1.2mm thick
Tolerance +/- 10% on width and
length
Lightweight
protection:
A weight of 0,130 g per square
centimeter generates the following results:
- Shelter Kit Off-Road: approx. 39 g
(total weight of all the elements of the Kit)
- Shelter Pack Off-Road (two 54 x 500 mm,
1,2 mm thick elements): approx. 70 g.
- Shelter Roll Off-Road (54 mm x 5 m, 1,2
mm thick): approx. 350 g.
Beware of copies!
Starting from 2014, to protect our
customers from counterfeit products, we added watermark “Shelter
Effetto Mariposa” logos inside Shelter structure, impossible to
remove and very difficult to copy.
Both “Effetto Mariposa” and “Shelter”
are registered trademarks.
Easy to apply:
1. After removing cables or other
interfering elements, clean the area where you want to
apply Shelter with alcohol and a clean cloth. Remove traces of
dried-up alcohol with a clean, dry cloth.
2. Take the suitable
pre-cut Shelter element or cut a custom made Shelter
piece, without removing the backing paper.
3. Peel Shelter backing paper on
a length of 1 inch/25 mm, freeing the adhesive surface (DO NOT
TOUCH THE ADHESIVE SURFACE WITH YOUR FINGERS).
4. Stick the adhesive surface
of Shelter on the area you want to protect by applying a firm
and constant pressure with your thumbs.
5. Remove the rest of Shelter
backing paper progressively, as you position and attach
your Shelter element on the area you want to protect. Starting
from the center, use your thumbs to push Shelter down, slowly
working your way to the sides and applying a constant
pressure.
UV-resistant:
Shelter is UV-shielded so it won’t
turn yellow over time and will even protect the underlaying frame
paint from UV degradation.
Visco-elasticity reduces
vibrations:
The transmission of vibrational energy
through any structure can be reduced by introducing visco-elastic
materials at discrete points. It’s exactly what Shelter does,
providing stiff carbon frames with protection but also contributing
to reduce vibrations.
