In demanding industries like marine, automotive, and appliance manufacturing, keeping high-value surfaces pristine is non-negotiable. Scratches, nicks, and dirt not only degrade the look of a finished product but also cut into your bottom line.
IPG's PESP (Polyethylene Surface Protection Film Tape) is engineered precisely for this challenge. Featuring a durable polyethylene (PE) film and a synthetic natural rubber adhesive, PESP provides robust, temporary protection with the critical guarantee of clean removal.
The Power of PESP: Clean Protection for Critical Surfaces
What makes IPG's PESP tape stand out is its balance of strong adhesion and gentle, residue-free removal. This versatility makes it ideal for safeguarding a variety of surfaces, including:
- Glass (Automotive, Commercial, and Residential)
- Stainless Steel
- Marble & Granite
- Automotive interiors (e.g., door panels, seats, instrument panels)
This clean-removal capability is vital because it allows surfaces to be safeguarded from damage during production, handling, and shipping without adding time or cost for messy cleanup later.
Key Features That Ensure Performance
PESP film tape isn't just about covering a surface; it's about providing industrial-grade security against the elements and handling stresses.
- 30-Day UV Resistance: The tape provides up to 30 days of UV protection, making it suitable for both indoor protection and short-term outdoor applications, such as protecting surfaces during construction or transportation.
- Moisture and Damage Resistant: Its durable PE film backing and moisture-resistant properties ensure surfaces are safeguarded from dirt, dust, scratches, and spills.
- High Conformability: The tape is conformable, allowing it to bond well to a variety of surfaces and adapt to both smooth and irregular contours.
- Easy Application: It’s designed to be easy to unwind, which enhances user convenience and speeds up application.
