(1888PressRelease)
July 04, 2009 - Novacel 4226REN is a white-on-white film, with an outdoor resistance of six months. The film is made of anti-UV treated LDPE (low-density polyethylene), with a thickness of 100 µm. A rubber-based adhesive is used, with an adhesion strength (AFERA 4001) of 140cN/cm. The 4226REN film is available in lengths of either 1,000 metres or 500 metres.
Novacel 4226REN provides many benefits. Protected sheet metal can be laser cut in a single run. There is no peel off, and no air bubbles form during laser-cutting operations. Moreover, no black marks are left on stainless steel after laser cutting. The film can be peeled off in one piece, without blocking or tearing. Novacel 4226REN features a dedicated special print: this print shows the potential for single-run sheet-metal laser cutting, as well as the brushing or polishing direction.
The film’s specific pattern permits automated protected sheet-metal handling while avoiding any risk of taking two sheets at a time through a suction effect. At every stage of the transformation process (folding, stamping and profiling), as well as during handling, transport and fitting, the film acts as a protective barrier against external aggression, preventing scratches or other damage.
4226REN is completely free of any raw materials that could produce outflow hazardous to the operators or equipment during laser-cutting operations. As is the case with the entire Novacel range, 4226REN is fully recyclable. Samples are available from the company upon request.
