Temporary protective coatings for industrial applications

Scratches, abrasion and dirt on component surfaces cause high scrap rates, costs for time-consuming rework and additional material expenses. Special intermediate layers and particularly non-slip packaging materials can reduce the traces of mechanical stress and dirt, but rarely completely eliminate them. Optimum protection is provided by a self-adhesive protective film, which can be partially bonded to the surface to be protected. However, application is associated with additional time and effort.

For the protection of highly transparent, dirt- and scratch-sensitive front foils and their display windows, we offer a user-friendly and resource-saving screen printing solution. Sensitive surfaces can be protected from external influences during production by the partial or full-surface application of a peelable coating layer.The protective coating is a screen-printable medium-viscosity emulsion and can be applied to a wide range of materials by screen printing. The protective coating is water-based and coloured for better visual identification. Partial printing can protect substrate surfaces from scratches and scuffs both during processing and during delivery to the customer.
