Surface Protection
Superior protection and adhesion are essential features of high-performance surface protection films. Our TPE adhesive compounds, used together with the co-extrusion process, give convertors an edge in achieving these results.
Highlights
- One-step co-extrusion process using pelletized compounds
- Eliminates multi-step coating and drying steps required for conventional adhesive coated films
- Provides the flexibility to customize tack and peel strength
- Cleaner process compared to adhesive coating operations
