Protection Film

NOVACEL, a worldwide leader in industrial surface protection, particularly for uncoated metal, has extended its range of protection solutions by launching Novacel 4226REN, a highly innovative protection film. Main features: colour – white/white; film type – anti-UV treated LDPE; outdoor resistance – 6 months; thickness – 100 µm; adhesive type –solvent based rubber adhesive; adhesion strength (AFERA 4001) – 140 cN/cm; lengths – 1,000 and 500 metres; and dedicated specific print. Novacel 4226REN provides many benefits that make all the difference: protected sheet metal can be laser cut in a single run; no peel off and no air bubbles form during laser cutting operation; no black marks left on stainless steel after laser cutting; outdoor resistance lasts 6 months; peel off in one piece, without blocking or tearing; and a specific film print shows both the potential for single-run sheet metal laser cutting and the brushing or polishing direction. 4226REN cuts down on laser-cutting time and maintains surface integrity throughout the mechanical transformation cycle on parts being cut (bending, backing, stamping, forming, etc.). The film’s specific pattern permits automated protected sheet-metal handling while avoiding any risk of taking by suction effect. 4226REN is totally free of any raw materials that could produce outflow hazardous to the operators or equipment during LASER cutting operation. As it is with the entire Novacel range, 4226REN is recyclable. Established in over 60 countries, the company develops, produces and markets self-adhesive films for temporary surface protection in the electronics, home-appliances, automotive and building industries. These can be applied on a great variety of surfaces such as stainless steel, pre-coated metals, aluminium, plastics, profiles and high pressure laminates. At every stage of the transformation process (folding, stamping, profiling, etc), as well as during handling, transport and fitting, the film acts as a protective barrier against outside aggression, preventing scratches, dirt, etc. Novacel is ISO 9001 and 14001 certified.
