PE foils: possible applications
Whether as construction foil, cover foil for equipment and accessories or as a vapour barrier – PE foil is extremely versatile:
Elastic cover foil for stage and event equipment
Valuable stage technology, cases and other stage equipment can be protected cost-effectively against damage from rain, moisture and any chemicals that may come into contact with them using PE foil as a cover foil. In event supplies, PE foils are mainly used in black for repair work on stages and as cover foils for substrates, freshly laid floors and technical equipment. This means that rain or moisture cannot affect the longevity of your event equipment. As an underlay for floor coverings, the B1-certified PE foil reliably keeps moisture out, ensuring longer durability and stability of the floor covering in event accessories.
Construction foil and packaging film
PE foils are generally known as construction foils and cover foils. In event supplies, however, PE foil is also popular as a reliable, waterproof packaging film.
Effective vapour barrier and cover foil on construction sites
PE foils have become indispensable for construction sites. As a so-called vapour barrier, the plastic foli helps to protect buildings and residential houses from damage caused by moisture formation in their insulation layer. The water-repellent PE foil allows only part of the moisture that forms to reach the building materials, thus preventing mould growth, moisture formation or a reduction in the insulating effect. PE foil is also laid between screed and floor coverings (parquet, laminate flooring, etc.) to prevent moisture from penetrating during house construction and to provide additional insulation for the floor. PE foil offers the advantage that it is resistant to a wide range of influences (water, chemicals, cold, etc.) and is also environmentally friendly.
Foil for darkening and backlighting
Depending on the colour, the film can also be used for darkening (window film) or for covering objects for light installations. The thin 60 my PE foil from our range is particularly suitable for backlighting. The film is white translucent, slightly transparent and translucent, making it perfect for backlighting and covering. For darkening, we recommend the opaque foil with 120 my; the deep black foil is opaque and completely light- and view-proof. Ideal for darkening windows in museums, theatres, etc.
Material resistance of PE foil
PE foils made of LDPE plastic (low-density polyethylene) offer the advantage of being resistant to acids, alcohols, oils and bases. This means that PE foil can be used as a water-resistant cover foil for event supplies and festival accessories. PE foil can be used to reliably protect cases, stage equipment and other stage supplies from rain and moisture. PE foil also protects stage floors and event sites from moisture. Thanks to the good elasticity and tear resistance of the cover foil, it can also be used on uneven floors, e.g. as festival accessories, and is resistant to mechanical stress from visitors or workers for a long time. In addition, PE foils are free of plasticisers – plastic foils do not become brittle due to the loss of plasticisers, e.g. during long storage periods.
Note: PE foils become brittle when exposed to UV radiation. If a PE foil is exposed to sunlight for a long period of time, it can lose its mechanical strength and tear.
Environmental compatibility of PE foils
Despite its high resistance to weather, water and chemicals, the cover foil is surprisingly environmentally friendly. Even the short manufacturing process for PE foil keeps energy consumption within limits. For example, PE foil actually has a better energy balance than paper in terms of manufacturing!
By not using plasticisers, PE foil is groundwater-neutral and recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly plastic foli. When PE foil is incinerated during the recycling process, no harmful combustion products are produced. Polyethylene belongs to the so-called thermoplastics, which means that the material can be melted down any number of times at a temperature that does not exceed a certain limit and reshaped into PE foil (or other products).
Fastening the PE foil
You can easily attach the plastic foil to floors, walls, etc. as a cover foil or protective foil for floor coverings using the following accessories:
- Cloth tape Gaffa tape – various types available
- double-sided tape
- Tackers (hand tackers and hammer tackers)
