Introduction to Surface Protection Films
Surface protection films are generally used to prevent scratches of the surface and safeguarding the surface from dust particles. It gives protection from damage, transportation, moisture, high corrosion and wear and tear of daily use. They deliver life span to items and are used to provide affordable approach to safeguard costly items and are unaffected by penetration of environmental components such as chemical components.
The design of these films contains polymer-based substrate layer which is coated with an adhesive layer. They are easily peeled out after finishing operations and ensure quality of surface without leaving any residue or marks after the film is removed. Protective films can be cut, slit, packaged or rolled according to the requirements.
