Which tools should you use for the installation of PPF protective film?
Perfect installation of PPF protective film with the right tools
PPF protective film is a clear wrap applied to the bodywork of a vehicle. The film is designed to protect against scratches, impacts and other external factors. The protective film provides a robust physical barrier while preserving the original appearance of the bodywork.
You are a professional installer and you would like to be as well-equipped as possible for the installation of BODYFENCE? Here are the essential tools to use during the installation of PPF protective film.
Which tools to use for the installation of PPF protective film?
To apply BODYFENCE®, you will need six essential tools: a soapy water sprayer, squeegees, a cutter, a steam generator, a product to make installation easier and one to decontaminate the installation surface. You are lucky, at HEXIS we offer you all these products to allow you a perfect installation.
The sprayer for even application of the PPF film
The SHAGSPRAY is a 19-litre metal sprayer. It is used to spray a large quantity of liquid (soapy water) onto the self-adhesive film. This is because BODYFENCE is a product that is installed using the “WET Application” technique. The soapy water enables you to activate the adhesive while delaying the adhesion of BODYFENCE to the bodywork.
Squeegees, for a more accurate installation
Our kit of five SHAGPAM squeegees is ideal for installing BODYFENCE®. Our kit consists of five squeegees of different shapes and sizes. They are suitable for all the angles of the bodywork.
The cutter, an essential tool for the installation of PPF protective film
The HEXIS catalogue offers a variety of cutters. The SHAGKNIFE will be the perfect companion for your PPF film installation.
The steam generator
Our STEAMERSC3 is useful for the installation and removal of PPF protective film. It is a tool that delivers high-temperature steam to enable you to peel off the PPF film and put it back on, or else to help you to remove self-adhesive film.
Make installation easier with HEXISGEL
HEXISGEL makes the installation of self-adhesive products easier. This product is generally used in the areas that are most difficult to wrap: edges, deformed areas etc. It allows the film to be repositioned while guaranteeing greater stability.
PAINTRUB for thorough cleaning
The product PAINTRUB is used to decontaminate the bodywork before the installation of self-adhesive protection film.
