Process Use
Adhesive-Backed Surface Protection Film provides safeguarding through various phases of the production process, including preventing damage and discoloration to painted and powder-coated surfaces during welding from sparks and molten slag, as well as drill debris.
The surface protection film can also be used in specific processing, including:
- Welding: Welding generates sparks and molten slag that can damage painted or powder-coated surfaces, causing unsightly blemishes. The intense heat from welding can cause paint or powder coating to blister or discolor, but the film can protect the finish from these hazards.
- Drilling: The drill bit itself can scratch or gouge the surface if not properly guided. Drilling generates debris and metal chips that can scratch or mar adjacent surfaces. The film minimizes contact between the drill bit and the finish and protects against falling debris.
- Riveting: The riveting tool itself can come into contact with the finish, causing damage. The film should be applied around riveting points to protect the finish from these impacts.

How To Apply & Remove the Film
Applying the Film
Before applying the protective film, clean the surface to remove dust, oil, grease, and other contaminants that could interfere with adhesion.
Manual Application: Ideal for small quantity applications. Unroll the film and carefully position it over the metal surface. Then, apply pressure to the film using a squeegee or roller to ensure excellent adhesion and smooth away air bubbles. Finally, trim away excess film.
Automated Application: Ideal for high-volume applications and production, which can drastically increase speed, accuracy, and efficiency. Automated Applications include film unwinders, tensioners, edge sealers, and application rollers.
Removing the Film
1. Gather Supplies: Microfiber cloths, a plastic scraper, and gloves. Avoid anything abrasive that could damage the paint or finish.
2. Check the Environment: It’s ideal to remove the film during cooler conditions or the early morning to avoid direct sunlight.
3. Secure the Door in a Safe Position: Secure the door to create a stable work surface. If working at height, ensure ladders or platforms are properly secured.
4. Locate a Starting Edge or Seam: Check panel corners or rolled edges where the film may lift naturally or gently lift with a plastic scraper.
5. Peel Film Slowly and Evenly: Remove the film gradually at an angle. Avoid fast or forceful pulling to reduce the risk of surface marring.
6. Final Clean and Inspection: Wipe the entire door clean for final use.
