Film protects pre-coated metal sandwich panels

What is believed to be the first adhesive co-extruded film to be specifically designed and produced for the protection of pre-coated metal sandwich panels on foaming lines is now available.

Novacel of France, a world leader in protective solutions for industrial surfaces, has unveiled the Novacel 9042, the first adhesive co-extruded film specifically designed and produced for the protection of pre-coated metal sandwich panels on foaming lines.

A strong point of Novacel's specialist film is that it can be applied at ambient temperature.

The Novacel 9042 features a 33 micron co-extruded, adhesive, protective film, which is clear and transparent.

Thanks to its innovative backing with a polyolefines basis, the Novacel 9042 has mechanical characteristics that are superior to traditional 50 micron films with a low-density polyethylene basis.

Applicable at ambient temperature, Novacel's specialist film has a glossed aspect, which emphasizes the surface features of the sandwich panels.

The Novacel 9042 is supplied in rolls of 3000m - thus making it possible to limit the number of changeovers of rolls - and of up to 2600mm in width.

The UV-treated film can be exposed to outdoor weather conditions for up to three months without its characteristics and performance being affected in any way.

Novacel will present its novel solutions for surface protection, including the Novacel 9042, during the international trade fairs to be held in Germany and France in the autumn - at the Kunststoff trade show (K-2004 -Dusseldorf, from 20 to 27 October 2004, Stand # 72G07), at Euroblech (Hanover, from 26 to 30 October 2004, Stand # 13E88), and at Emballage (Paris, from 22 to 26 November 2004, Stand # 6A016).

The technical data sheet for Novacel 9042 will be sent to interested parties on request, and also any other information that they may require.
