Protective Foils

Protective foils have a wide range of uses in the automotive sector. They can be used for permanent as well as for temporary applications. As a consequence, the duration of use is determined by the foil!

Can temporary protective foils be removed without leaving any residue?

[Translate to Englisch:] Schutzfolien rückstandsfrei entfernen

There is often uncertainty if the protective foil can also be removed without leaving any residue. This depends on whether the right film has been used and whether the manufacturer's processing instructions have been followed. But if all the relevant points are included in the selection process, it is no problem at all to leave a temporary protective foil on the surface for up to a year and still remove it easily without leaving any residue.

What exactly must be considered when choosing the right foil?

Depending on the area of application, specific aspects need to be considered in order to select the right foil for the application. This includes, on the one hand, the adhesive strength on various surfaces such as painted surfaces, glass, plastics or textiles. On the other hand, aspects such as weather resistance, compatibility with different substrates, as well as material thickness and material color are relevant properties for the right protective foil.
