What to Do If Aluminum Sheet Protective Film Prone to Warping in Winter

2025-09-22

Core Causes of Warping in Winter

  • Low temperatures reduce film flexibility and weaken the adhesive layer
  • Large indoor-outdoor temperature differences cause condensation on aluminum surfaces
  • Residual dust further weakens adhesive adhesion
  • Improper application techniques increase warping risk

Environment and Tool Preparation

  • Store protective film at room temperature before application to restore flexibility
  • Gently raise aluminum surface temperature if too cold (use room-temperature dry cloth)
  • Prepare soft scraper, clean dry cloth, and neutral detergent
  • Ensure aluminum surface is free of dust, moisture, and oil

Winter Application Techniques

  • Precisely align one end of film with aluminum edge and press firmly
  • Slowly extend film toward other end while using scraper to press from center to sides
  • Ensure no air bubbles remain between film and plate
  • Repeatedly press edges with scraper to ensure full contact
  • Gently adjust position if wrinkles appear - avoid forceful pulling

Post-Application Reinforcement

  • Press protective film edges again with dry cloth, especially corners
  • Use breathable tape for temporary reinforcement in extremely low temperatures
  • Avoid frequent touching of protective film edges
  • If edges warp slightly, press again with scraper or clean and reinforce with neutral detergent
Note: Always handle aluminum sheets and protective film carefully to prevent damage. Avoid using excessive heat when warming surfaces.
