Protection for Prepainted Metals

Advertising

Aluminium composite panels have become indispensable tools of the advertising and signage industry. They are easily shaped, available in many colours and structures and can be printed using direct digital printing methods. This feature makes them the material of choice for exhibition stands, interior and exterior POS design, displays, signage and other decorative elements. 

Protected from manufacture to installation

Advertising thrives on flawless appearances. That’s why POLIFILM PROTECTION has developed protection films to protect aluminium composite panels against dirt and damage during processing, storage, handling, transportation and installation. Exactly matched to the individual paint systems, gloss levels and surface structures, they provide reliable adhesion, are tear and puncture resistant and are able to withstand all mechanical stresses during processing. They provide optimum protection and reduce scrap and rejection rates even during sawing, punching, cutting, machining, drilling, bending or folding operations.

Printing without the “ghost effect”

For composite panels used in either digital or screen printing processes, POLIFILM PROTECTION offers special technology in a protection film that can display a logo or processing instructions. The printed image is laminated over with a second film made from polyethylene. The result is the highest level of resistance against colour abrasion and flawless ACP printability without any undesirable “ghosting effect”.

Efficient, safe processes 

In advertising, signage, exhibition and the shopfitting sector, time is always critical. Special protection films by POLIFILM PROTECTION for aluminium composite panels optimise process efficiencies. Thanks to their easy peel effect, the protective films can be removed quickly in a matter of seconds, even from large surfaces areas, without leaving any residues. There is no need for elaborate cleaning and the surfaces are immediately ready for further processing, such as printing. This is made possible by the adhesive formula, which is perfectly designed for the demands and composition of the individual paint system used.
