There are three basic techniques to create a great base for quick color approval.
This makes for a quicker set-up and approval.

However, an ongoing
challenge, especially for high-end products with
demanding aesthetic requirements, is to prevent
adhesive residue when the protective film is
removed.
Versaflex™ CF 6668 low adhesion build-up TPE for
protective film meets that need.
The formulation
delivers high initial adhesion on steel, PMMA, and
various other substrates, yet offers low adhesion
build-up to reduce the risk of residue when peeling
off film.
