WHAT'S THE NEWS
Macrowill growth progresses
The expansion of protective film specialist macrowill plastic engineering is continuing, as its new production facility nears practical completion.
Complimenting the expanded production capability, the company is building on its UK operation. As a result, it has doubled the sales team at its British arm of its global business to the next level. The team will be responsible for selling the ranges of macrowill protective film for profiles and plastic sheet, available in a range
Striking the right balance
Specifying your temporary plastic protection is a fine balance. There are so many things to consider, many of which you may not even realise….
Obviously, you’ll address thickness and peelability/tack strength. In the UK typically clear film of 50µ with a tack strength of 2.0N is the “norm”.
You may even consider the film’s UV stability, if your product may be left exposed to the elements for any period of time.In that case, you may choose a combined black:white film, to optimise control over UV resistance and heat gain.

Macrowill introduces static solution
Anyone involved in producing display material will know that one of the biggest problems they face when processing sheet is static. Its impact can potentially destroy the finished graphics
macrowill plastic engineering uk is dispelling the problem, with its latest offering to the British display industry.
Its Self Adhesive Protective Film uses advanced technology to integrate a light adhesive to the PE film during the blowing process, thereby eliminating the risk of any residue from glue applied as a separate coating. The process also ensures that when the film is applied to plastic sheet on the extrusion line, there
Double the benefit of protective film
Profile manufacturer marketeers can get double the value from a transient element of their systems, as a result of eco-friendly options at macrowill plastic engineering.
The double benefit arises from macrowill’s protective films being sustainable: the PE film is 100% recyclable, helped by the company’s use of water-based inks and adhesives. Therefore, there is no reason for the removed film to be left lying around the site once the extrusions are installed..
Offsetting the hidden cost of damage in transit- the little thing that makes a world of difference
Perhaps the single biggest threat to your business, when considering packaging, is that of transit damage. It can also be amongst your most significant packaging costs too.
Testing, testing…the rough with the smooth
Window manufacturers wanting to capitalise on the growing trend towards dual coloured frames have a problem: how to ensure BOTH surfaces are properly protected from factory to installation, cost-effectively.
It is a problem that Britain’s newest player in the removable protective film market Macrowill Plastic Engineering UK (macrowill) can solve for its customers- PVC or aluminium.
“Dual coloured windows- especially the woodgrain/solid combination- look great, but keeping them looking good from extrusion to installation can be a headache,” explains macrowillsales manager Philip May. “You either have a protective film that does not adhere
