Protective films for stainless steel
Stainless steel is an outstanding material with a range of technical advantages: it is durable, formable, weldable and of course has as its key feature resistance to oxidation and corrosion. If we add its esthetics (thanks to a myriad of different finishes and brushings) and its recyclability, stainless steel can certainly be said to be a material of great importance in our society both now and for the future. Architecture, industry, transport, elevators and appliances are just a few examples where stainless steel shines thanks to its outstanding properties and benefits.
A protection throughout the manufacturing process
The manufacturing process from flat stainless steel coil/sheet to the final product is demanding. Many steps are necessary in order to make the stainless steel equipment we use in our daily lives:
- Bending
- Punching
- Stamping
- Cutting
- Drilling
- Slitting
- Profiling
- Deep Drawing
- LASER Cutting
All these processes are harsh, involving heavy tools, heavy pressure, friction, etc. and they can result in surface impacts, dents and scratching that are not acceptable for the end-customer.
