Protection of aluminum and stainless steel plates with the film

Today, the industry of stainless steel as well as aluminum industry have evolved both in different products and alloys which have placed on the market as in terminating surfaces themselves. Among the various alloys can be mentioned special purpose alloys for stamping, machining work , or alloys with specific physical characteristics , corrosion resistant alloys , wear resistant alloys , ... On the other side we can find different finishes for metallic materials :

Brute finish only applying a pickling process using strong acids to remove stains or dirt in the field of view of aluminum or stainless plate. Finish Glossy , obtained by applying a material with a polishing grinder of the aluminum / steel plate inoyxdable .

Stucco Finish Granite or obtained by etching a pattern on the aluminum sheet / stainless steel.
These technological advances have increased the cost of manufacturing these materials, so that the industry itself had to find a way to protect them , especially the area that will be visible when the product arrives at its final stage.

Furthermore the highest in the industry to improve the quality and production of parts with minimal rejection daily requirements have led manufacturers to protect their equipment through a protective plastic film . These temporary solutions for surface protection are used in sectors such as construction, household appliances , automotive and electronics.

The application of temporary protective film against scratches and marks to the aluminum plate is designed manner that improves the behavior of materials during the various processing stages folding, bending , stamping, punching or cutting . As well as general handling as transport facilities can be more easily. The protective film can be applied to surfaces of all types including :

  1. Aluminum cold rolled / hot rolled sheet .
  2. Sheet aluminum polished / satin .
  3. Sheet aluminum embossed or textured .
  4. The protective film is particularly recommended for all applications that require a perfect finish , or the smallest mark can reject the room.


The nature and condition of the surface to protect the adhesive formulation determines the film thickness and even color change due to technical requirements. Protective films must also be easily removed and leaves no trace on the protected surface.

We can end our article by saying that the use of protective film for aluminum or steel plates allows improved manufacturing procedures , which serves for different subject:

  1. Provide a simple solution to protect all types of surfaces
  2. Ability to add value to their products
  3. Reduce the cost of poor quality
  4. Improve the brand image
