Tredegar Surface Protection
(www.tredegarsurfaceprotection.com), a subsidiary of Tredegar
Corporation (NYSE:TG) and a global leader in surface protection
films, is actively contributing to the fight against COVID-19.
Tredegar Surface Protection films are being used in the manufacture
of plastic face shields and other personal protective equipment
(PPE) as a first line of defense against COVID-19. And as a key
supplier to the display industry, Tredegar Surface Protection is
playing an important role in the manufacture of electronic displays
that are an essential component of society’s ability to work at
social distance.
Surface protection films play a key role in protecting the
sensitive surfaces of plastics, optical films used in displays and
other substrates during manufacturing, converting and
transportation. With the global pandemic of COVID-19, timely supply
of PPE is critical to protect healthcare workers and front-line
responders. Recognized for its industry-leading quality and supply
reliability, Tredegar is proactively responding to customer needs
and is placing the highest priority on ensuring the rapid supply of
surface protection films to PPE producers.
“Our customers who manufacture clear plastic films for medical
face shields and use Tredegar’s surface protection films as part of
the process have asked me to thank the team at Tredegar Surface
Protection for our efforts in expediting these masking films that
are going into PPE products. In one instance, a manufacturer of
face shields was able to apply our masking film and ship their face
shields within 12 hours of receiving our product. This makes me
proud to work for a company that prioritizes the health and safety
of our front-line emergency and healthcare providers in the battle
against COVID-19,” said Bob Gardner, Global Account and Business
Development Manager, Tredegar Surface Protection.
Tredegar Corporation is a global manufacturer of plastic films
