3M™ Paint Protection Film 8592 is a 8 mil (.36 mm) thick, transparent, medium gloss film designed to protect automotive surfaces from scratches, galvanic corrosion, abrasion and wear.
Nearly invisible protection against scratches, part wear and corrosion
Film flexibility and die-cuttability, making parts easier to apply on complex automotive surfaces
A Thin, Transparent Paint Protection Film for Non-Visible Areas
Developed specifically for protecting automotive surfaces from scratches, galvanic corrosion, abrasion and wear, 3M™ Paint Protection Film 8592 is an excellent alternative to molded protectors which can detract from finished vehicle appearance. This 8 mil film features a 6 mil polyurethane base. The material has been rigorously tested for gravel chip resistance as well as cracking, chalking and dulling due to natural weathering for excellent film clarity and gloss retention, and shows excellent tensile strength and resistance to elongation or shrinkage. A 2 mil acrylic adhesive applied to the film is pressure-sensitive for fast, efficient application. It has been tested for peel adhesion at room temperatures and at temps through standard bake cycles, helping ensure a consistent bond. This film has no clear coat, making it especially suitable for use in non-visible areas such as for metal separators and hose wraps and as a body hole filler.
Featuring a 6.2 - 7.1 mil paper liner, 3M™ Paint Protection Film 8592 is flexible and die-cuttable to make it easier to apply even on complex automotive surfaces. It is available in die-cut or pre-masked parts for added OEM efficiency.
Recommended Applications:
- Wheel flairs
- Filling body holes
- Rocker panels
- Metal separators
- Leading hood edges
- Hoses
- Door openings
