3M™ Surface Protection Film 3952

Technical Data Sheet

Product Description

3M™ Surface Protection Film 3952 is a fluoropolymer film that provides a high performance, low surface energy

coating solution for paint replacement and specialized surface protection for both indoor and outdoor applications.

3M 3952 Film is inherently resistant to moisture, chemicals, and environmental agents offering excellent substrate

protection as well as providing long term color stability. 3M 3952 Film is provided without liners and is best suited for

composite co-curing applications. The film is available in gray.
