Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) - Our
most popular film is available in 1.5 mil to 10 mils. This film type
is commonly used for general surface protection applications ranging
from painted metal applications to window protection film. Common
processing that this film can handle after application includes: Roll
Forming, Stamping, and Break Forming. |
|
Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE) - Doing some
die-cutting, sawing or routing die cutting? This film will process
and cut better in these applications than most LDPE films. |
|
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) - A stiffer, more
brittle film commonly used for engraving stock. |
|
Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) - For those
that like to torture our surface protection films, this is your product.
Superior elongation and tensile strength make this film well suited
for light drawing applications, and severe roll forming applications.
LLDPE also has superior puncture resistance. |
|
Co-Extruded Films - Co-extrusion means that as the
film is blown or extruded, more than one layer of film is extruded
into the final product. Interesting performance characteristics can
be achieved by doing this. For example: (a high density film core with
two layers of Low Density on the outside give us the stiff film of
HDPE with the formability characteristics of the LDPE film). Or how
about a black and white film resistant to the sun's UV rays? |
|
UV Protective - UV additive extruded right into
the polyethylene film can give extra protection for outdoor applications
while keeping the film from becoming brittle over time. Typical application:
Window masking film. |
|
Low Gel Count Films - Gels occur when the raw material
polyethylene resin pellets are not fully melted in the extrusion process.
Lower gel films can be used for more critical applications that may
include high gloss soft surfaces that could potentially be damaged
if a gel is pressed into the surface as it is applied, or in a tight
wound roll or a heavy pallet of sheeted product. |
|
Tinted Films - Tinted films can be used for a variety
of reasons. Sometimes just to remind your customers to remove it!
Or if you are using more than one protective masking grade from us,
it's a great way to distinguish grades to make sure the right grade
is on the right surface! |
