Protective Film Brochure

When a customer requires a unique solution for a coating application, American Trim has been able to respond to customer needs with unique solutions. By using the technical resources available in the research and development department, American Trim was able to formulate a new protective coating that has the ability to meet the customer's unique energy requirements and specifications. Selective guard protective film was developed as a natural step to a more energy and labor efficient protective film from our older thermally cured protective coatings technology. 
~ Joe Knapke - Senior Formulating Chemist
SelectiveGuard™ is a new, cost effective process to replace laminate tape. The protective film is selectively applied as a liquid using a screening process and then UV cured.
SelectiveGuard™ is available in our Finish Development Center in Lima, OH, but can be setup and run in your plant for improved convenience.
The key benefits of SelectiveGuard™ include:
- UV curing process reduces time, space, and cost
- Customizable and selective tape placement for efficient application
- Film forms without tearing
- Resistant to most lubricants
- Labor cost is significantly reduced
- There is no need to remove and replace the film for final assemblies like knobs, displays, and buttons
- UV Curing leaves a pliable, durable, and easy to remove protective film
- On delivery the final part has been protected from scratching, staining, and fingerprints
