Surface Protection for High-Speed Laser Processing

What is Laser Film?

Laser protection film (often called "laser mask") is a specialized, sacrificial barrier engineered to protect metal substrates during the intense thermal stress of laser cutting. Unlike standard protection films, these are designed to withstand the high-energy piercing phase without bubbling, melting, or "blowing off" the sheet.

 

Technical Composition & Adhesive Technology

• Film Substrate: These films are typically constructed from high-performance, co-extruded Polyethylene (PE) or advanced polyolefins.

• Adhesive System: They utilize precision-coated, pressure-sensitive adhesives—ranging from high-shear natural rubbers to advanced acrylics.

• The Benefit: This combination allows for a clean, single-pass cut on both Fiber and C02 laser systems, ensuring flawless surface integrity and a residue-free peel after fabrication is complete.
