Collection: Novacel

Novacel films are temporary protection films: they are applied to a finished surface as it leaves the factory and removed after transport, cutting, folding or installation, without leaving residue.

What matters when choosing a protection film

Three parameters decide, and they are linked.

Adhesion level. A film that is not tacky enough lifts during handling or lets dust under it; too tacky, it becomes hard to remove and may leave a mark. The right level depends on the surface: bare sheet and polished stainless steel do not call for the same film.

Exposure time. The adhesive of a protection film keeps migrating with time and heat. A film rated for three months indoors and left for a year outside becomes markedly harder to remove cleanly, and that is the most common cause of residue.

UV resistance. A film intended for indoor use becomes brittle in sunlight and can tear away in patches, turning a few minutes' work into a long clean-up.
