Protectapeel is a liquid-applied peelable coating designed to protect surfaces from damage during manufacture, build, transportation and storage. To achieve maximum protection and ease of removal, it's essential to apply Protectapeel correctly. This guide will walk you through each step of the application and removal process, ensuring a professional and effective finish.
You must always apply the Protectapeel product to a small area to test the substrate’s suitability. You must ensure that all substrates are covered. Allow the product to dry
for 48 hours, and then check that the Protectapeel product will peel away from each substrate.
Tools and Materials Needed
Protectapeel liquid coating
Airless spray gun
Masking tape (for edges)
Wet film gauge (to ensure proper thickness)
Recycle disposal bag (for removal stage)
Prepare the Surface / Mask Areas
Proper surface preparation ensures that Protectapeel adheres correctly and offers optimal protection. Use masking tape to cover areas where Protectapeel should not be applied
Apply Protectapeel
The key to a durable and effective protective layer is the correct application method and thickness.
Begin spraying from one edge of the surface, working systematically to ensure no area is missed.
Overlap each pass slightly to create a seamless protective layer.
Use a wet film gauge to measure the coating thickness. Protectapeel should be applied to the recommended wet film thickness (which can be found on the product’s Technical Data Sheet) to ensure it dries effectively into a strong barrier.
Drying Time
Allow the coating to dry fully. Drying times may vary depending on temperature and humidity. The coating will form a durable, skin-tight barrier once dry.
Removal Process
Removing Protectapeel is straightforward and mess-free.
Start at one corner or edge of the coated area. Use your fingers to lift the edge and begin peeling.
Pull the coating back at a shallow angle to remove it in large sheets and condense down into small balls.
Collect the condensed Protectapeel in the Recycle Point bag. Protectapeel is designed to minimise waste, making cleanup efficient and environmentally friendly.
Tips for Maximum Protection
Apply Evenly: Ensure consistent coverage for a uniform protective layer.
Monitor Thickness: Use a wet film gauge for precise application.
Store Properly: Store Protectapeel containers in a cool, dry place to maintain quality.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you’ll ensure that Protectapeel provides maximum protection and hassle-free removal. Whether you're protecting windows, floors, or other non-porous surfaces, the process is quick, efficient, and cost-effective.
