Metal Protection Films

The strength, durability and aesthetic appeal of metal makes it the ideal material for a broad range of applications. In manufacturing and construction, metals have long formed the backbone that modern life and industry is built upon. And yet metal is also the trendy “new” standard for design in home and office furnishings, such as the stainless steel appliances and finishes that are in demand for their sleek luster, durability and easy maintenance. But for all of their advantages, metallic surfaces are not immune to damage and wear, especially during the fabrication and finishing processes. Metal surfaces can be marred by chatter marks, scratches or swirls, or contaminated by overspray, solvents, dust and the like. Potential hazards to your metal surfaces arise during:

• Machining
• Brushing
• Polishing
• Cutting
• Bending
• Welding
• Adhesive Type – This is the product identification number of the adhesive
• Tack – Measured in ounces per lateral inch, this defines the level of “stickiness” of a particular adhesive. Because there are many variables at play, the tack level of most adhesives will be expressed as a range of values rather than a single, specific measurement.
• Material – This identifies the product substrate, itself (type of plastic / paper).The top of the table lists the various surfaces to be protected, grouped by classification.
