15 April 2009,Chicago - Novacel, a leader in surface
protection, has furthered its work in developing protective solutions for the
carpeting and textiles market by introducing its Novacel 9357 range, an
innovation demonstrating the company’s determination to manufacture products
that are more environmentally friendly.
Devoted to the protection of showroom carpeting
(polypropylene or needle punched fibres), and more widely to textiles, this
30-µm-thick, transparent, colourless polyethylene film is designed to resist
substantial traffic and soiling during booth setup (trampling, passing pallets
and other various devices, dirt or gravel dumping). The innovation stems from
its new, solvent-free adhesive mass resulting from a more environmentally
friendly manufacturing process.
Novacel says that major names in carpeting and textiles
already use this new product in industrial quantities, thus taking part in
limiting solvent discharges into the atmosphere. An ideal aid to communication,
the Novacel 9357 film can be printed with a logo, a trademark or any
advertising message or technical advisory.
As long as as the protective film has not been soiled during
use, it can be safely incinerated or recycled. Similarly, all packaging and
cores are recyclable and reusable too. Such initiatives, implemented to reduce
the environmental footprint, are an integral part of Novacel’s sustainable
development policy.
Established in over 60 countries, Novacel develops, produces
and markets self-adhesive films for temporary surface protection in the
electronics, home appliances, automotive and building industries. Novacel films
can be applied on a great variety of surfaces such as stainless steel,
pre-coated metals, aluminum, plastics, profiles and high-pressure laminates.
At every stage of the transformation process (folding,
stamping, profiling, etc.), as well as during handling, transport and fitting,
the film acts as a protective barrier against outside aggression, preventing
scratches, dirt, etc. Novacel is ISO 9001 and 14001 certified.
