Low Tack Smooth Film: A Protective Material for Various Applications
Low-tack smooth film is a type of protective film used to safeguard materials during transportation, storage, and processing. Its primary function is to protect materials from the corrosive effects of harmful gases and microorganisms, prevent dust contamination, and protect against mechanical scratches. Additionally, during bending and stretching processes, the film provides lubrication between the material and mold, improving processability and workability, thereby ensuring or enhancing product quality, reducing raw material consumption, and increasing business efficiency.
Currently, low tack smooth films are widely used in industrial applications. As industrial production requirements continue to rise, more demands are placed on the quality and characteristics of protective films. Many types of protective films are on the market, especially in machinery, instrumentation, electronics, shipbuilding, construction materials, and automotive manufacturing.
So, what are the key components of low tack smooth film? The material can be divided into three main parts:
- Low-density polyethylene (PE), is the base material.
- Acrylic copolymer is the primary component of the adhesive layer.
- Ethyl acetate (EA), is part of the adhesive layer.
Main Characteristics of Low Tack Smooth Film:
- Low adhesion strength, typically between 5g and 50g, provides good holding power on high-gloss surfaces.
- Smooth surface with no patterns in the adhesive layer.
- Good elongation and resistance to acids and alkalis.
- Soft base material.
Applications of Low Tack Smooth Film:
This protective film is used for products with smooth surfaces such as high-gloss plastic parts, plastic mirror sheets, high-end furniture, instrument panels, mirror stainless steel sheets, plastic lenses, PVC, high-end crafts, and other smooth-surfaced products. It provides excellent surface protection during both the manufacturing process and transportation of these products.
