High Flexibility: The PE material is soft and highly ductile, allowing the protective film to easily adapt to surfaces of various shapes—whether flat (such as metal sheets or glass) or curved (such as furniture edges or plastic components). It adheres tightly without wrinkling or cracking.
Good Conformability: Even on uneven or textured surfaces, the film can wrap closely around the object, ensuring comprehensive protection against dust, scratches, or abrasions during transportation, storage, or processing.
2. Mild Adhesiveness with No Residual Glue
Adjustable Tack Levels: The adhesiveness of PE protective films (low, medium, or high tack) can be customized according to application needs. For delicate surfaces (such as furniture paint finishes or decorative panels), low-tack options ensure easy peeling without leaving adhesive residue, thus avoiding damage to the protected surface.
Clean Removal: Unlike some rigid films, PE protective films peel off smoothly and completely, without tearing or breaking. This reduces post-protection cleaning procedures and improves the efficiency of production or installation processes.
3. Good Chemical Resistance and Environmental Adaptability
Strong Chemical Stability: PE material is resistant to water, oils, weak acids, and alkalis. Therefore, the protective film is suitable for scenarios involving moisture, lubricants, or common cleaning agents, and is not easily degraded or dissolved upon contact with such substances.
Weather Resistance for Daily Scenarios: Although its high-temperature resistance is inferior to that of PET protective films, PE protective films perform stably in low-temperature environments (not easily embrittled in sub-zero conditions) and can resist daily humidity and light exposure, making them suitable for temporary indoor and outdoor protection needs.
4. High Cost-Effectiveness and Easy Processing
Low Production Costs: PE is one of the most widely produced plastics globally, with mature manufacturing processes. As a result, PE protective films are relatively low-cost, making them an economical choice for large-area protection (such as building exteriors or metal coils).
Easy to Cut and Customize: The film is lightweight and thin, allowing it to be cut into various sizes or shapes using simple tools to fit different product specifications, without the need for complex processing equipment. Additionally, logos, instructions, or warning information can be printed on the surface to enhance functionality.
5. Wide Range of Application Scenarios
Surface Protection: Commonly used for temporary protection of products such as furniture (wooden boards, cabinets), metal products (aluminum profiles, stainless steel sheets), and building materials (ceramic tiles, stone materials), preventing collision damage during transportation or installation.
Temporary Isolation: In decoration or industrial processing, it can be used as a temporary isolation film to prevent dust or paint from contaminating surfaces, which can be directly peeled off after construction.
Low-Damage Characteristics: Due to its mild adhesiveness, it is particularly suitable for scenarios requiring high surface smoothness (such as automotive parts or home appliance casings), reducing secondary damage during the protection process.
