All About Heat Resistant Film

Knowing everything about heat-resistant film is very important in order to properly and fully use this material. There are heat-resistant fireproof films for the kitchen, high-temperature fireproof films for glass and other types of coatings.

The most important role of a heat-resistant film is to protect the surface from excessive heat and exposure to open flames. A special cover is required for most decorative and even load-bearing structures of buildings. The advantages of such products are:

• ease of use;

• containment of the spread of hotbeds of ignition;

• an increase in the time that can be spent on saving people and material values;

• containment of the spread of smoke;

• prevention of glass splitting into dangerous fragments;

• strengthening the security function of glass;

• increase in sound insulation characteristics;

• reduction of heat losses during normal operation;

• reduction of penetrating ultraviolet radiation.

What is remarkable all these properties are characteristic of one variant - a multifunctional film... All other solutions are far less perfect. Certain modifications to film materials can restrict radio wave propagation. This is very important from the point of view of protection against industrial espionage.

Heat-resistant foil products are often used in kitchens. This product turns out to be an excellent substitute for traditional kitchen aprons. Self-adhesive coatings can not be washed, but simply changed as needed. Quite often, high-temperature refractory films are used, designed to warm up to about 300 degrees. These products reliably protect external glazing, doors with glass inserts and various partitions.

This coating does more than just insulate the surface from heat and flame. It goes out on its own and even in the zone of direct contact with fire slowly smolders. Experience has shown that the fire resistance of glass increases by about 2 times. The heat-resistant film is usually produced in a width of 1 m. On request, products of other sizes can be ordered.

No special skills are required when using heat-resistant foil for the kitchen. It is only necessary to work carefully and thoughtfully, without making sudden movements and jerks. The glass substrate is pre-washed and allowed to dry. Then add 3 ml of the most gentle baby shampoo to 1 liter of water. After mixing the composition by shaking, apply it by spraying it from a spray bottle; you need to apply as thin as possible.

The film must exactly match the dimensions of the surface to which it is applied. It is recommended to make patterns in advance. The protector of the fire protection film on the glass must be removed carefully so that there is no contact with the adhesive layer. The outer part of the coating is treated with the same composition.

In the kitchen, self-adhesive heat-resistant films can be used near cooking zones. Under them, peeling of laminated chipboard is prevented, the risk of swelling and cracking on the material is reduced. Facade material will also help to mask existing defects. It is worth noting the role of heat-resistant film in agriculture and in the garden.There it is needed when steaming the earth.
