Product Description
3M™ Industrial Protective Films 7070UV and 7071UV are abrasion resistant, pressure sensitive adhesive backed film products designed to protect multiple industrial surfaces from damage caused by abrasion, scratching, erosion, UV and minor impacts. These rugged clear films are durable, flexible, and able to conform to curved surfaces while being easy to apply.
Product Construction
Typical Physical Properties
Note: The following technical information and data should be considered representative or typical only and should not be used for specification purposes.
Features
- Polyurethane backing resists punctures and tearing. 7071UV is suggested for more extreme applications.
- Provided on a paper liner for ease of die cutting specific shapes.
- Easily applied with simple tools in a minimal amount of time.
- Clear color will not obscure surfaces.
- Product may be used to protect surfaces outdoors with 7070UV effective for 1 year and 7071UV effective for 2 years. Conclusions based on simulated extreme environmental exposure and individual applications will vary.
- Maximum service temperature 200°F (93.3°C)
- Both films demonstrated no wear through with minimal visible scuff pattern after Taber abrasion testing conducted using modified ASTM D-4060 1000g weight, 1000 cycles with S-37 mounting sheet.
Application Techniques
- For best results, surfaces must be clean and free of dirt, debris and oils and films should be applied when surface temperature is between 50°F (10°C) and 80°F (27°C).
- Use of an application solution is suggested for easy positioning and squeegee application.
- For detailed application instructions and tips, see 3M Technical Bulletin on installation of Industrial Protective Films.
