Product Details
resto 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. For metal coils, our metal coil protection film offers comprehensive protection, preventing issues such as scratches and UV exposure during various stages of handling. Both films are designed to ensure that different metal surfaces remain pristine and free from contaminants throughout their lifecycle.
BENEFITS
Benefits of Presto Tape's Textured Metal Protection Film
Strong Adhesion
Provides strong adhesion for hard-to-adhere and highly textured surfaces, which other films cannot support.
Preserves the Texture
Our film can preserve textured metal details throughout fabrication and installation.
Consistent Quality
Customers receive materials with uniform appearance and surface integrity, reinforcing trust in your brand and reducing complaints.
PROCESS USE
Textured Metal Protection Film can be used during light fabrication to protect from damage, scratches, chemicals, paint chipping, and contaminants. Â
Film can be applied before, during, and after texturizing metal, including:
Hammering
Using hammers with different shapes and sizes to create patterns and textures. Â
Rolling
Passing the metal through rollers with textured patterns.
Embossing & Stamping
Using dies and punches to create intricate patterns and texture.
APPLICATION USE
The film is suitable for a range of applications.
Surfaces Including
- Rough to Low Textured Metals, including:
- Hammered
- Fluted
- Traction Tread
- Diamond
- Quilted Metals
- Painted Metals, including Hard-To-Stick-To Paints
HOW TO APPLY & REMOVE PROTECTIVE 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
- Supplies Needed: Gloves, microfiber cloths, a plastic scraper or lifting tool. Avoid harsh chemicals or brushes that could harm the texture or finish.
- Position the Metal Surface: Lay the metal flat or secure it vertically to prevent movement.
- Loosen a Starting Edge: Use a scraper to lift a corner of the film.
- Remove Film: Peel the film slowly and tightly back on itself at a 180° angle. Take note of grooves and texture patterns to carefully lift around these areas.
- Final Wipe and Dry: Clean and dry the surface thoroughly to prepare for final use.
