Even if you haven’t used a protective film for your own application, you are probably familiar with their presence on many of the products that you purchase every day. By now, you may have actually come to expect to find a protective film on every new phone, TV, computer monitor, kitchen sink, windows or major appliance that you purchase.
ProvoFilm produces PE (polyethylene) material protective film. In different thickness and viscosity.
Film thickness is typically called the combined thickness of the plastic and that of the adhesive. Film is gauged in thousands of an inch, or mils. (This is not the like millimeters.) Normal film thicknesses range from 1 mil to 6 mil, occasionally higher. The thicker the film, the more defense it provides against abrasions, damaging, and so on. Thicker film tend to be extra stiff and also can be harder to relate to contoured surface areas.
Adhesive type is also an important consideration. Distinctive surfaces normally require thicker and also softer adhesives. If the adhesive is just speaking to the “heights” of the surface area, it may be touching less than 5% of the complete area and be prone to diminishing the surface. Adhesives for textured surface areas additionally often tend to be greater in tack value.
