As a "location safeguard" for devices, components, fixtures, and tools, the ESD-compatible slip-stop film (RSF) from Kager has long been part of the basic equipment of many workshops, laboratories, and assembly lines. Increasingly, it is also proving effective as a slip-resistant intermediate layer for securing loads of piece goods in packaging, transportation, and storage technology.

For many years, the slip-stop film (RSF) from the trading and consulting company Kager has been used as a slip-resistant, noise-dampening, and statically conductive work surface in many areas of industry and craftsmanship. The thin mats made of soft PVC (polyvinyl chloride-P) prove their worth both in assembly and testing technology and in fine mechanics and laboratory activities as ergonomic and ESD-compatible underlays or even as a replacement for space-consuming fixing and clamping devices. Due to their high coefficient of friction, Kager's RSF, for example, prevents vibrating table devices from wandering or cylindrical workpieces from rolling away, allowing the user to focus fully on performing their core task.

Slip-resistant load securing

Recently, many logistics specialists have also discovered Kager's RSF as an extremely useful operational tool. Thanks to its permanently adhesive surface, it can be used as an easy-to-apply and highly reliable intermediate layer for securing stacked piece goods. Especially when transporting packages and parcels with valuable contents or conveying unprotected components, the Kager RSF can provide valuable product protection services. It is reusable and can be rolled up compactly when not in use.

Basically, Kager supplies its slip-stop film (RSF) in the colors blue, green, and red, as well as in roll form with a width of 400 mm and maximum lengths of ten meters. The thin mat always has a thickness of 1.0 mm and lies flat on any even surface after unrolling. It can be easily rinsed with water for cleaning. Since it is chemically resistant, it can also be disinfected and is dishwasher safe.

2D-form parts from a minimum lot size of 1

Another major application area for Kager's RSF is the production of ready-to-use 2D cutouts from colored polyvinyl chloride-P. Based on its own drawings, the customer can order these form parts starting from a lot size of 1 and up to a width of 1,500 mm. As modern CNC technology is used in manufacturing, there are hardly any design limitations. Bending cuts and drilling can be performed very precisely, and external contours can be executed with high accuracy according to the customer's specifications. For example, from blue, red, and green polyvinyl chloride-P, individual supports for industrial assembly workstations and workbenches, noise-dampening laboratory device pads, product-specific intermediate layers, ready-to-install sealing elements, and much more can be created.

Extremely tear-resistant

The thermoplastic polyvinyl chloride-P (English: plasticized) offers a range of material-technical advantages. These include not only chemical resistance and a high coefficient of friction but also high elasticity and tear resistance of up to 400 percent. The temperature endurance is approximately -50°C to +60°C. Therefore, the material is suitable for a wide range of technical applications.
