Surface Protective Films and Double-Coated Tapes for Automotive and Transportation Market
Safeguarding vehicles is paramount in the automotive and transportation manufacturing industry. From the production line to the showroom floor, protecting exterior and interior components is a critical concern for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier Suppliers alike. Protective films and double-coated tapes are required to ensure vehicles arrive in pristine condition to their end-users.
Automotive Exterior Protective Film
Automakers and suppliers rely on OEM-approved transit films to shield vehicle finishes from transport hazards like scratches, debris, and weather. These protective films safeguard exterior metal components from abrasion and corrosion, while surface protection films defend windshields, lights, and mirrors from stone chips, road debris, and UV rays. Additionally, UV protective films not only guard against sun damage but also maintain the vehicle's color and overall appearance.
Automotive Interior Protective Film
Automotive interiors require customized solutions for a variety of surface finishes. At Protective Packaging, we provide high-performance protective films for delicate interior surfaces along with OEM-approved protective films to safeguard vehicle interiors, including metal, leather, carpet, or plastic, smooth or textured. These scratch-resistant coverings are crucial for preserving electronic components' functionality and appearance. They also extend the lifespan of plastic extrusions and carpets by shielding them from foot traffic and cargo, while carpet protection films protect against dirt, stains, and wear.
Surface Protection Films for RVs, Specialty Vehicles, Aircraft, and Rail
OEM-approved surface protective films are vital for safeguarding interior and exterior surfaces of specialty vehicles, marine vessels, aircraft, and rail cars, much like in the automotive industry. These scratch-resistant coverings also shield electronic components on specialized vehicle consoles and control panels. Additionally, protective films are used on plastic extrusions, overhead bins, armrests, glass surfaces, and windshields for similar protection. Laminated furniture, composite wood decking, seating, doorways, and flooring in specialty vehicles also benefit from protective films against wear and tear.
Specialty Tapes: Double-Sided Tapes & Masking Tapes
Double-coated tapes are used for bonding, joining, and fastening various automotive and transportation components securely. They play an important role in assembly and manufacturing processes. Masking tapes are also essential for covering, precision painting and finishing tasks, ensuring clean lines and protecting adjacent areas from overspray.
In the transportation industry, the use of high-quality surface protective films and specialty tapes is a testament to the commitment to quality, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Manufacturers, tier suppliers, dealerships, body shops, and paint shops all rely on these protective solutions to ensure that vehicles and transportation assets not only perform optimally but also look their best throughout their lifecycle.
