High Gloss Film Features:

PET material advantages

High Gloss Film is made of PET material and has excellent comprehensive performance. The tensile strength of PET material can reach 60-70 MPa, which is 2-3 times that of ordinary plastics. It can withstand large external forces without breaking easily. At the same time, its elastic modulus is 2000-3000 MPa, which gives the film good flexibility and resilience. After testing, the PET film can still maintain more than 80% of its original strength after repeated folding 1000 times, providing a reliable material guarantee for decorative panels.

High gloss mirror effect

The gloss of the film is as high as 85 ± 3 GU, which belongs to the mirror reflection level. It can reflect clear and bright light and create a high-end and modern visual effect for the space. Compared with ordinary gloss films, its surface treatment process is more refined, which can effectively enhance the reflection and refraction effects of light. In actual tests, the mirror reflection effect of High Gloss Film makes the indoor light distribution more uniform, and the brightness is increased by 30%-40%, making the space appear more spacious and bright.

High transparency option

High Gloss Film offers a high transparency option with a light transmittance of 88% - 92%. This high transparency property enables it to maintain the original texture and color of the substrate to the greatest extent when applied to decorative panels, while adding a sense of gloss. For example, using high transparency High Gloss Film on transparent furniture panels or display racks can not only protect the surface of the substrate, but also enhance the overall visual effect, making the displayed items more prominent and attractive.

High hiding option

In addition to high transparency, High Gloss Film also offers a high hiding option with a hiding rate of more than 95%. High hiding films can effectively hide defects and unevenness on the surface of the substrate, providing a uniform and consistent appearance for decorative panels. In practical applications, this high hiding property allows the film to still present a flawless decorative effect when covering a defective substrate. For example, in the renovation of old furniture or wall decoration, the high hiding High Gloss Film can easily cover up the original scratches, stains and other defects, making the decoration look brand new.

Excellent composite performance

High Gloss Film has excellent composite performance and is suitable for a variety of processing techniques such as heat sealing, cold mounting, and dry lamination. In the heat sealing process, its heat sealing strength can reach 15-20 N/15mm, ensuring a firm bond between the film and the substrate; in the cold mounting process, it has good compatibility with various glues, and there are no bubbles or wrinkles after bonding; in dry lamination, it is tightly bonded to substrates of different materials, and the peel strength reaches 8-10 N/15mm. This excellent composite performance enables High Gloss Film to adapt to various complex processing requirements and is widely used in different decoration scenes.

Excellent scratch resistance

The surface of High Gloss Film has been specially treated and has excellent scratch resistance. Its surface hardness reaches 3H (pencil hardness standard), which can effectively resist scratches and wear in daily use. In actual tests, a pencil with a hardness of 2H was used to scratch the surface of the film with a force of 500g, and no obvious scratches appeared. This scratch resistance ensures that the film always maintains a good appearance and glossiness in long-term use, reducing visual interference and maintenance costs caused by scratches.

Excellent waterproof ability

The film has excellent waterproof performance, with a water contact angle of up to 110° - 115°, which can effectively prevent moisture from penetrating into the interior of the substrate. In actual tests, after the film was soaked in water for 72 hours, there was no water absorption or swelling on the surface, ensuring the stability and durability of the film in a humid environment. This excellent waterproof performance makes it suitable for decoration in humid areas such as kitchens and bathrooms, providing users with valuable space protection.

Strong UV resistance

High Gloss Film has strong UV resistance and can effectively resist UV radiation to prevent the film from yellowing and aging. After 500 hours of UV aging test, the gloss and color change ΔE value of the film was less than 1.0, which is much lower than the industry standard requirement of ΔE less than 3.0. This UV resistance ensures that the film will always maintain its good appearance and performance in long-term use, especially in sunny rooms or commercial spaces, and can maintain the stability and beauty of the decorative effect for a long time.

Its high gloss mirror effect can add a sense of modernity and professionalism to the office space and enhance the image of the company. In practical applications, laminating the film on the surface of office furniture can effectively protect the furniture from scratches, wear and stains, and is easy to clean and maintain. Compared with the surface of ordinary office furniture, furniture decorated with High Gloss Film is more durable and beautiful, providing employees with a comfortable and efficient working environment.

Kitchen moisture-proof decoration

In the kitchen environment, High Gloss Film can be used as a moisture-proof decorative material for cabinet door panels, wall decoration, etc. Its excellent waterproof performance can effectively prevent the erosion of kitchen fumes and water vapor, and protect cabinets and walls from moisture. For example, using High Gloss Film on kitchen cabinet door panels can keep the cabinets bright and new during long-term use, and not be damaged by fumes and water vapor. At the same time, its high-gloss mirror effect can enhance the overall aesthetics of the kitchen, making the kitchen space appear more tidy and modern.

Bathroom waterproof decoration

In practical applications, laminating the film on the surface of the bathroom cabinet or the shower room wall can effectively prevent water vapor penetration and mold growth, and protect the substrate from damage. Compared with traditional bathroom decoration materials, High Gloss Film is easier to clean and maintain. It only needs to be wiped with a damp cloth to remove stains and water stains, providing a beautiful and hygienic environment for the bathroom.

Booth display decoration

In various exhibitions and activities, High Gloss Film can be used for booth decoration to enhance the visual appeal and professionalism of the booth. Its high gloss mirror effect can make the booth stand out from the crowd of exhibits and attract visitors' attention. For example, in an electronic product exhibition, using High Gloss Film to decorate the booth's desktop and background board can make the product more eye-catching against the high gloss, enhancing the product's display effect and brand image. At the same time, its excellent composite properties enable the film to adhere firmly to the booth surface and withstand frequent touches and use during the exhibition.

High Gloss Film Maintenance:

Daily cleaning and maintenance

In order to maintain the good appearance and performance of High Gloss Film, daily cleaning is essential. It is recommended to use a soft, clean dust-free cloth to gently wipe the surface of the film to remove dust and stains. If there are stubborn stains on the surface of the film, you can use a small amount of neutral detergent (such as detergent dilution) to wipe it, then wipe off the detergent residue with a clean wet cloth, and wipe it dry with a dry cloth. Avoid using rough cleaning tools or detergents containing abrasive ingredients to avoid scratching the high gloss surface of the film. Experimental data show that the surface gloss and color saturation of the film that has been properly cleaned can remain stable for a long time, while the surface gloss of the film that has not been cleaned or uses improper cleaning methods will gradually decrease, affecting the decorative effect. For example, in the decoration of commercial display areas, regular cleaning can keep the film in a good display effect and extend its service life.

Avoid contact with sharp objects

In daily use, High Gloss Film should be avoided as much as possible from contact with sharp objects, such as nails, needles, knives, etc. Sharp objects may leave scratches on the surface of the film, destroying its high gloss mirror effect and beauty. If you need to write or install other items on the film surface, it is recommended to use special writing tools or adopt a traceless installation method. For example, in the decoration of office space, using soft-tipped markers or pencils for writing and avoiding hard nibs can effectively reduce the occurrence of scratches. Once slight scratches are found on the surface of the film, a special plastic film repair agent can be used to treat it to restore the integrity of its surface. For deeper scratches, it is recommended to replace the film in time to maintain good decorative effects and performance.

Temperature and humidity control

The performance and appearance of High Gloss Film will be affected by the ambient temperature and humidity. In order to ensure the best condition of the film, the temperature and humidity of its use and storage environment should be controlled within an appropriate range. Generally speaking, the temperature should be maintained at 15-30℃ and the relative humidity should be maintained at 40%-60%. In a high temperature and high humidity environment, the film may absorb moisture, resulting in water spots on the surface or performance degradation; while in a low temperature and dry environment, the film may become brittle and hard and prone to cracks. The indoor temperature and humidity can be adjusted by using equipment such as air conditioners, dehumidifiers or humidifiers to create a stable environmental condition for the film. For example, in the home environment of humid areas in the south, especially in the rainy season, turning on the dehumidifier can effectively prevent the film from getting damp and maintain its good physical properties and decorative effects.

Regular inspection and repair

Regular inspection of High Gloss Film is the key to ensure its long-term use. Every once in a while, carefully check whether there are scratches, wear, fading or other signs of damage on the surface of the film, and check whether the bonding parts between the film and the substrate are firm, and whether there are bubbling, degumming and other problems. If problems are found, timely measures should be taken to repair or replace them. For example, in home wall decoration, a quick inspection once a month and a detailed inspection once a quarter can timely discover and deal with potential problems to prevent problems from expanding. In the case of bubbling or degumming, special glue and tools can be used for re-pasting; for serious damage that cannot be repaired, new films should be replaced in time to maintain the integrity and beauty of wall decoration.

Avoid chemical corrosion

When using High Gloss Film, avoid long-term contact with chemicals, such as acids, alkalis, oils, organic solvents, etc. If you accidentally come into contact with these chemicals, you should immediately rinse with plenty of water and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Experiments show that when the film is immersed in common organic solvents such as acetone for 5-10 minutes, the surface of the film will show obvious dissolution and damage. Therefore, during cleaning and maintenance, special attention should be paid to the ingredients of the detergents used, and cleaning products containing strong corrosive chemicals should be avoided. In places such as kitchens and bathrooms that are easily exposed to oil and detergents, more attention should be paid to preventing chemicals from eroding the film to ensure that it can play a decorative and protective role in a long-term and stable manner.

Professional maintenance guidance

For some complex maintenance problems or large-scale decoration projects, it is recommended to seek guidance and help from professionals. Professional maintenance personnel have rich experience and professional tools to clean, repair and replace High Gloss Film more effectively. For example, in the decoration projects of large commercial complexes or high-end residences, regularly hiring a professional maintenance team to inspect and maintain the film can ensure the lasting stability of the decorative effect, and can also promptly discover and solve potential safety hazards. In addition, professionals can also provide personalized maintenance suggestions and plans based on actual conditions to help users better protect and extend the service life of the film, and provide users with high-quality use experience and visual enjoyment.
