Surface Protective Films and Specialty Tapes Used in the Production, Assembly, Fabrication, and Extrusion of Finished Goods

Whether you're in electronics, aerospace, automotive, or any other industry, the processes involved often entail intricate procedures like laser cutting, forming, deep drawing, and extrusion. In these critical operations, surface protective films and double-coated specialty tapes step in as indispensable tools.

Surface Protective Films for Fabrication

Manufacturing processes can be harsh. Surface protective films shield materials from various manufacturing threats, including scratches, abrasion, corrosion, and mechanical impact and help maintain the quality and aesthetics of finished products across a range of industrial processes:

• Fiber-optic Laser Cutting: Surface protective films safeguard delicate components against scratches and contamination.
• Forming and Deep Drawing: Surface protective films prevent surface imperfections during metal forming, ensuring high-quality end products.
• Plastic Extrusion: Films keep plastic sheets and profiles free from blemishes during extrusion, maintaining product quality.
• Glass Production: Optical clarity is critical in glass manufacturing, and protective films ensure that glass surfaces remain flawless.
• Aluminum and Anodized Aluminum Processing: Protective films preserve the finish and appearance of aluminum products throughout processing.
• Chrome Plating and Coated Metal Fabrication: Surface protective films prevent damage to plated and coated surfaces, maintaining their pristine look.

Surface Protective Films for Processing and Handling

Beyond the manufacturing phase, surface protective films provide much-needed protection during the handling, packaging, and shipping stages. This safeguards against damage, dirt, scratches, and mechanical impact, ensuring that the product reaches its destination in optimal condition. 

Double-Coated Specialty Tapes

Double-coated specialty tapes have become essential in manufacturing, offering strong and durable bonding solutions for various applications. They excel in adhering similar and dissimilar materials, making them versatile. These tapes are crucial in manufacturing processes, from affixing labels, to bonding electronic components. In the appliance industry, they ensure seamless attachment of panels and fascia, elevating product aesthetics.

Protective films and double-coated tapes protect valuable materials and components from damage, reduce waste, increase productivity, and ultimately contribute to higher-quality finished goods. For industries that rely on precision and excellence in processes such as bending, forming, laser cutting, deep drawing, and extrusion, these protective solutions are more than just a necessity—they are a competitive advantage.
