FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are all protection films heat resistant?

Many protection films offer heat resistance to some degree. At JTAPE, Our Seal Wrap is suitable for use in temperatures ranging from 15°C to 35°C (59°F to 95°F), while our Non-Slip Surface Protection Film can be exposed to temperatures from 5°C to 45°C (40°F to 110°F). For higher heat resistance, it’s worth taking a look at our masking films since these are more likely to be used on vehicles during spraying or baking processes.

What are protection films? 

Protection films have multiple uses and are typically used to protect the likes of walls and floors of spray booths and worktops. This differs to masking films, which are used to prevent paint sticking to the surrounding panels when painting part of a car. Protection films provide a great solution for wrapping broken windshields or windows and replacing door skin liners, in order to protect from moisture getting in.

What is the difference between protection films and masking films?

Although the two products are quite similar, they’re often used for different purposes. Protection films are best suited for when you are trying to protect walls and floors, such as when mixing paint. Protection films can also help to prevent moisture from getting in through broken automotive windows or door skin liners that need replacing. Meanwhile, masking film is best used to prevent paint or overspray from reaching other surrounding areas when painting, such as only painting part of a car.

How do you remove surface protection film?

A metal or plastic scraper is the best thing to use when removing surface protection film from any material. Test it on a small section and ensure you take care not to damage the surface underneath as you go. The protection film should peel away in one large section, making the removal process smooth and quick.
