Temporary Adhesive Film - Brief Article

Automotive Finishing, Spring, 2001

Temporary adhesive films protect part surfaces from the dirt, scratches, score marks, swarf and other hazards encountered during manufacture, assembly, transport and storage. These easily removed films provide a tough protective barrier for sheet metal (including stainless steel, precoated sheet and aluminum), plastic sheet, glass, textiles and laminated materials.

They stand up to industrial processes such as press and roll forming, bending, piercing, notching, vacuum forming and guard against the scrapes, dirt, fingerprints and oil that can mar product surfaces during assembly and transport. In addition, protective films can be imprinted with a company's logo as well as specifications and other vital technical information. When removed from a surface they leave no trace on protected surfaces.
