PE protective films are
primarily categorized by density (high, medium, and low), viscosity
(slightly sticky, low, medium, high, and ultra-high), and color
(transparent, blue, black, milky white, and textured). They can also be
divided into adhesive-coated and adhesive-free types based on their
structure. These films are based on PE plastic film, coated with
pressure-sensitive adhesive or achieved through co-extrusion to create a
certain degree of adhesion. They are widely used to protect metal,
plastic, glass, and other surfaces from contamination and scratches.
Classification by Density :
PE protective films are based on specialty polyethylene (PE) plastic film and can be categorized by density as follows:
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) protective film
Medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) protective film
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) protective film .
Based on surface
peel strength (viscosity), they are categorized as follows:
Ultra-low-viscosity protective film (≤5g/cm): Easy to tear, leaving no
adhesive residue, suitable for organic sheets, display screens, glass
lenses, and more. Low-viscosity protective film (10-20g/cm): Suitable
for steel mirror plates, silk screen printing, nameplates, etc.
Light-mist low-viscosity protective film and clear low-viscosity
protective film: Suitable for process and end-use surface protection of
sheet materials such as PC, PET, PMMA, and glass, and are widely used in
the home appliance and optoelectronics industries.
Medium-low-viscosity protective film (30-50g/cm): Suitable for stainless
steel plates, ceramic tiles, stone, etc.
Medium-viscosity protective film (60-80g/cm): Suitable for products
requiring high adhesion.
Matte medium-viscosity and clear medium-viscosity protective
film: Suitable for processing, molding, and end-use surface protection
of PET hardened sheets and PMMA.
High-viscosity protective film (80-100g/cm): Suitable for surfaces requiring higher adhesion.
Ultra-high-viscosity protective film
High-temperature-resistant high-viscosity film: Suitable for
surface protection of products requiring high-temperature molding
processes such as luggage, helmets, and toys.
Color Classification
PE protective film comes in a variety of colors and can be customized to
meet customer needs.
Common colors include:
Semi-transparent or transparent: Most common, with light transmittance adjustable upon request.
Blue or green: Commonly used for electronics and panels.
Black: For light blocking and protection.
Ivory/creamy white: Used to distinguish specific products or provide shielding.
