PU 8591 E
3M ? High Performance Protective Film
General Description
PU 8591 E is a high performance protective film which can be used in a wide range
of interior and exterior applications where protection against limited chemical and mechanical attack is needed like on the sun roof, between bumper and car body, on the door edge or under the door handle.
The film is characterized by high thickness and a transparent, medium gloss surface. It is resistant against scratching and high temperature exposure and suitable for painting processes. Moreover the film provides excellent features to reduce noise and protect surfaces against shattering, splittering and gravel attack. The adhesive provides a reliable bond under environmental stress like changing temperatures or moisture.
