• Covering and lining applications in closed rooms to help protect equipment, furnishings or materials from dust and incidental contact.
• Use in industrial or commercial environments that require controlled storage conditions and limited UV exposure.

FAQ

1. What does DIN 4102 – B1 mean for this film?

DIN 4102 – B1 is a flame-retardant classification. It indicates that the PE half-tube film has been formulated so that it shows reduced flammability compared with standard films, according to the DIN 4102 test method.

2. How long can PROTECTFILM B1 FILM PROTECTOR be stored?

The film can be stored for up to 12 months from the delivery date when kept under the recommended conditions of temperature, humidity and storage in closed rooms.

3. What about versions with additives such as antifog or slip agents?

If the specific version of the film contains migrating additives (for example antifog or slip agents), the maximum recommended storage time is 3 months from delivery under the specified storage conditions.

4. What are the recommended storage conditions?

The film should be stored in closed rooms at a temperature of about +20 °C with an allowable variation of ±10 °C and at a relative humidity between 30 % and 90 %.

5. Can the film be exposed to sunlight or other UV sources?

Exposure to UV radiation should be avoided, as it can affect the properties of the film. This restriction does not apply to specially UV-stabilised versions.

6. Is PROTECTFILM B1 FILM PROTECTOR suitable for outdoor use?

The technical information specifies storage in closed rooms and advises against UV exposure, so the film is primarily intended for indoor use and short-term, well-controlled conditions.

7. What thickness does the film have?

The nominal thickness of the film is 60 µm, measured according to a GPA thickness profile method.

8. How is the film supplied?

The half-tube film is supplied in dimensions and design according to customer order, allowing adaptation to different widths, lengths or configurations as specified at purchase.
