Surface Protection

Chem Stretch's long-term protective films are used millions of times a year to protect glass and paint surfaces during transport or fitting. Originally designed for this purpose, these films have in the meantime conquered further areas of application, such as protecting sheets of high-quality glass and displays.
4848 surface protection film consists of an environmentally friendly polyethylene backing, which is completely coated with a self-adhesive UV- and age resistance acrylic adhesive mass. This ensures an easy and residue free removal up to four weeks. It is resistant against different chemical ingredients, physical stress, and moisture.

The red transparent backing of 4848 avoids a "darkroom" effect when the film is applied to windows. It can be used indoors and outdoors especially for long-term and large area protection on painting, plastering, and decoration work. 4848 protects sensitive and high value surfaces against dirt and damage during construction, storage, and installation.
