Protection film – What is it?
Here at Preston Technical, we don’t just supply protection tape, we supply protection film too. Protective film is a material that protects surfaces vulnerable to damage, this includes abrasions and scratches which can sometimes be a minor or moderate issue. For example with a car, the protection films offer day to day protection against stone chips, scuffs, scratches, and harsh weather. This layer of protection on your car’s paint job has the ability to preserve the underlying paint job’s integrity for a longer time compared to not having a protective layer
There are specific industries in which protection films offer the most value:
Aerospace: Our protection film is important for prolonging longevity and enhancing the quality of these materials.
Electronics: Handheld devices, mobile phones and other electronic devices are prone to damage, especially the screen as it is more sensitive. In the past when owning a mobile phone, you have more than likely had a protective cover on the screen of your phone to keep water from going inside of your mobile phone and in case you drop the phone to help protect the screen.
