BENEFITS

Benefits of Presto Tape's Building Panel and Roofing Protection Film

PROCESS USE

Building Panel and Roofing Protection Film can be used during Die Cutting (Rotary, Flatbed), Punching, Cutting, Shearing, Fabricating (Soft to Hard Bends), Slitting, Assembly, and Forming to protect against damage, chips, scratches, abrasion, and chemicals created during the assembly and fabrication process.

The surface protection film can also be used during fabrication, including:

Forming & Bending

Film protects the coated surface during forming and bending operations, preventing damage from contact with tooling and equipment.

Cutting & Shearing

Protects the coated surface from scratches and chips generated during cutting and shearing operations.

Roll Forming

Protects the coated surface as it passes through the roll forming machine.

HOW TO APPLY & REMOVE PROTECTIVE FILM

Applying the Film

The film can be applied in various ways, but it’s essential to ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying the protective film. Clean any dust, oil, grease, or other contaminants that could interfere with adhesion.

Clean the Surface: Ensure the metal surface is clean and dry. Remove any dust, oil, grease, or other contaminants that could interfere with adhesion.

Manual Application:

Unroll the film and carefully position it over the metal surface.
Use a squeegee or roller to smooth out air bubbles and ensure good adhesion.
Trim excess film with a utility knife.

Removing the Film

1. Gather Supplies: Prepare gloves, a plastic scraper, and lint-free cloths. Keep a mild soap-and-water mix nearby for general cleanup.
2. Place Panels Securely: Support panels flat or upright in a stable, debris-free space to prevent scuffing or grit transfer during removal.
3. Start at an Accessible Edge: Check for a liftable edge or seam. Use a plastic scraper, if necessary, to start peeling without damaging the coatings.
4. Pull Film Smoothly: Peel the film along the length of the panel with slow, controlled tension, rolling the film into itself to easily dispose.
5. Clean Panels Before Final Handling: Wipe the surface clean and dry to ensure good adhesion for sealants, flashings, or fasteners. This also protects long-term appearance.

INDUSTRIES USING PROTECTIVE METAL FILM

Metal Roofing Manufacturers

Protects painted, powder-coated, and other finished metal roofing sheets during fabrication, handling, storage, and shipping. Prevents damage from tooling, handling equipment, and contact with other materials.

Metal Siding Manufacturers

Similar to roofing, protects finished metal siding panels from scratches, dents, and other damage during production and logistics.

Metal Building Panel Manufacturers

Protects insulated metal panels used in the construction of warehouses, cold storage facilities, and other commercial buildings. Safeguards the panel's surface during manufacturing, handling, and transportation.

Building Material Distributors

Protects roofing and building panels from damage during storage and transportation within their warehouses and during delivery to construction sites.

Construction Companies

Can use film to protect pre-finished panels on-site during construction, preventing damage from tools, debris, and weather conditions.

Insulated Panel Manufacturers

Protects the surface of insulated panels, which often have delicate finishes or coatings, from damage during production and handling.
