The protective film on the stainless steel plate is an effective measure to prevent scratches and damages over the surface. Therefore, we don't recommend removing it before processing, such as cutting, bending, welding, polishing, and other processes.

We have found some people who didn't remove the file after installation, especially some outdoor projects, it will make the later cleaning work very difficult, why is that? just because Because the protective film is a chemical product, it is prone to deterioration and oxidation if exposed to high temperature and light for a long time. It should be used as soon as possible during the warranty period, and the warranty period is generally three months, a better-imported film like Novacel, Polifilm, the general warranty period is within six months to one year. When selecting and using the film, choose the appropriate film according to the use environment, product, object, and season. 

What we should do to remove the protective film easily?

1. You can quickly tear off the film with boiling water, it will make the separation work easier.

2. Wipe with thinner or industrial alcohol do the first cleaning, then use water to clean and dry the sheet surface.

3. If you want to store the sheets for a long time, we suggest you choose imported brands.
