Product Details

Presto Tapes Textured Protection Film temporarily protects textured and patterned metal surfaces during fabrication, transportation, storage, and installation from damage, dirt, scratches, abrasions, chemicals, paint chipping, and moisture.

Benefits of Presto Tape’s Textured Metal Protection Film

Application Use

Adhesive-backed film is suitable for a range of applications, including:

  • Rough to Low Textured Metals, including:
    • Hammered
    • Fluted
    • Traction Tread
    • Diamond
    • Quilted Metals
  • Painted Metals, including Hard-To-Stick-To Paints

Process Use

Textured Metal Protection Film can be used during light fabrication to protect from damage, scratches, chemicals, paint chipping, and contaminants.  

Film can be applied before, during, and after texturizing metal, including:

  • Hammering: Using hammers with different shapes and sizes to create patterns and textures.  
  • Rolling: Passing the metal through rollers with textured patterns.  
  • Embossing: Pressing the metal into dies with the desired texture.
  • Stamping: Using dies and punches to create intricate patterns.  

 

 

 

How To Apply & Remove Textured Metal Film

Applying the Film

First, clean any dirt, grease, oil, or 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, using a squeegee or roller, apply pressure to the film to ensure excellent adesion 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. Supplies Needed: Gloves, microfiber cloths, a plastic scraper or lifting tool. Avoid harsh chemicals or brushes that could harm the texture or finish.
  2. Position the Metal Surface: Lay the metal flat or secure it vertically to prevent movement.
  3. Loosen a Starting Edge: Use a scraper to lift a film corner.
  4. Remove Film: Peel the film slowly and tightly back on itself at a 180° angle. Take note of grooves and texture patterns to lift around these areas carefully.
  5. Final Wipe and Dry: Clean and dry the surface thoroughly to prepare for final use.

• Architectural: Building facades, interior wall panels, elevator cabs, column covers
• Marine: Deck surfaces, gangways, ship components
• Industrial: Machinery parts, conveyor belts, ventilation ducts
• Transportation: Train interiors, bus flooring
