Protection for Prepainted Metals

Architecture

When designing the interior or exterior of buildings, engineers and architects increasingly rely on coated metals, which provide them with almost unlimited possibilities for the construction of roofs, facades, gates; ceilings, wall coverings and technical or sanitary facilities, whilst at the same time meeting the highest requirements with regards to functionality and aesthetics. 

Customized surface protection

Manufacturers of such components must ensure that their precious surfaces are protected against dirt and damage from the time of manufacture right up to their installation on site to prevent the risk of complaints, time intensive rework and expensive project delays.

The POLIFILM PROTECTION range offers many standard and specialty protection films with customised properties for architectural applications to avoid just that problem. They provide solutions for just about any gloss levels and surface texture. Adhesive systems, adhesive formulations and adhesive strength are matched to the individual coatings down to the smallest detail. They retain all the chemical properties of a surface and provide gentle, yet strong and reliable adhesion. 

POLIFILM PROTECTION offers suitable solutions for the following:

  • Sandwich panels
  • Aluminium composite panels
  • Trapezoidal sheets, corrugated profiles and architectural wall panels 
  • Insulating cold store panels
  • Metal panels with a roof tile design 
  • Powder coated aluminium profiles 

Perfect for the manufacturing sector and building sites

All these film technologies can withstand high mechanical stresses, are tear resistant and robust. They protect surfaces against scratches and damage during sawing, machining, drilling, cutting, bending and folding as well as roll forming and punching processes. For particularly demanding processing operations we also offer thin, high strength films (HS films) which are even more puncture and tear resistant. You can remove all protection films offered by POLIFILM PROTECTION in one piece without leaving any residue, without tearing or the need for reworking resulting in optimised performance of all operations at the building site.

Up to twelve months UV-resistance 

The product range includes transparent and black and white protection films in a variety of adhesive strengths, with thicknesses ranging from 30 µm to 100 µm. All films offer excellent UV and weather resistance of between three and twelve months depending on their design. Regardless of whether short-term application or long-term protection across several construction phases is needed, POLIFILM PROTECTION offers the solution.
