Novacel: Engineered Surface Protection Solutions

1. Core Business & Focus:

Novacel is a global leader in the development, manufacturing, and supply of high-performance self-adhesive protective films and specialty coated materials. Its primary mission is to provide innovative surface protection solutions that safeguard products during critical stages of manufacturing, processing, transportation, storage, and installation.

2. Key Product Range (As Highlighted on Site):

Surface Protection Films: This is Novacel's flagship offering. They design and produce a wide array of protective films tailored to protect diverse surfaces against:

Scratches

Abrasion

Dirt & Contamination

Chemical exposure (oils, solvents)

Weathering (UV, moisture)

Impacts during handling and processing.

3. Unique Properties & Characteristics (Directly from Site):

Novacel films are engineered to deliver critical performance characteristics essential for industrial applications:

Excellent Surface Protection: Core function against physical and chemical damage.

Weather Resistance: UV stability and resistance to humidity/moisture for outdoor storage or transport.

Clean Removal & Residue-Free: Critical for preventing adhesive transfer or damage to sensitive surfaces upon film removal.

Controlled Adhesion: Offering a range of adhesion levels (Low, Medium, High - LPA, MPA, HPA) to suit different surface sensitivities and application durations. Includes options for Removable Adhesives.

Conformability & Flexibility: Ability to adhere tightly to complex shapes, curves, and textured surfaces.

Temperature Resistance: Films designed to withstand specific processing temperatures (e.g., during painting, curing, forming).

High Clarity & Transparency: For applications where visibility of the protected surface is necessary (e.g., inspection).

Dual-Layer Construction: A specific Novacel technology featuring a protective top layer and a softer adhesive layer, enhancing protection and conformability.

Tailor-Made Solutions: Ability to customize films for specific customer requirements.

4. Primary Product Applications (Emphasized on Site):

Novacel's protective films are vital across numerous demanding industries:

Construction & Building Materials:

Protection of windows, glass, aluminum extrusions & profiles, composite panels, sanitaryware, flooring, countertops, stone, pre-painted steel sheets.

Applications: Manufacturing, transport, storage, installation, renovation.

Automotive:

Protection of painted body parts, trims, plastic components, glass, headlights, wheels during OEM manufacturing, transport, and aftermarket refinishing.

Electronics:

Protection of displays (LCD, OLED), touch panels, lenses, and other sensitive components during assembly and shipping.

Plastics Processing:

Protection of acrylic (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), ABS, and other plastic sheets/parts during fabrication, thermoforming, cutting, transport.

Metal Processing:

Protection of polished, anodized, brushed, or painted metal surfaces (stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper) during fabrication, forming, transport, and storage.

Industrial Manufacturing:

General protection of finished goods and components across various sectors during production and logistics.

5. Core Strength:

Novacel's expertise lies in advanced polymer science, adhesive technology, and coating processes. This allows them to engineer films with precisely controlled properties (adhesion, protection level, durability, removability) to solve specific surface protection challenges faced by manufacturers in diverse industries. Their focus is on providing reliable, high-performance solutions that ensure product quality reaches the end customer.
