Prescale Film HT-LLW
Super Low Pressure

Pressure-sensitive Prescale film for measuring the distribution of surface contact pressures at high temperatures, range HT-LLW: from 0.5 to 2.5 MPa (5 to 25 kgf/cm²; 73 to 363 psi).



Fuji Prescale Film HT-LLW: Overview

To confirm the undeniable maturity achieved by this type of product and the vitality expressed through the ongoing refinements and enhancements made by Fuji Film to this product family, this preliminary document provides information about the new Prescale Film for high temperatures (from 180°C to 220°C), Fuji Prescale Film with a measurement range from 0.05 MPa to 0.2 MPa (from 0.5 to 2 kgf/cm²; from 7.25 to 29 psi).
To address issues that can arise with the use of conventional Prescale film at high temperatures (e.g., color development in areas not subject to pressure, base deformation, and adhesion between films A and C, etc.), Fuji Film now offers Prescale for high temperatures, where the film support is made of PEN (polyethylene naphthalate) instead of PET, significantly minimizing many of these problems. Although Fuji Film is still working on making these new Prescale films compatible with the FPD-8010E analysis software, it should be noted that at present, this type of film can only be used with the colorimetric scale provided with the product for visual assessment of the results. Further and more definitive information about the high-temperature Prescale Film will be made available on these pages as soon as it becomes available.

Fuji Prescale Film HT-LLW: Technology Overview

Depending on their measurement range, Prescale films are available in two different formats: single sheet and double sheet. For lower measurement ranges, Fuji Film's technology requires the use of two separate sheets (A and C), whereas for higher measurement ranges, a single Prescale sheet is sufficient. The Prescale film with the HT-LLW range is only available in the double sheet version. This type consists of a first sheet called Film-A, which has a very homogeneous layer of microcapsules (proprietary PSC - Particle Size Control technology) containing a dye, and a second sheet called Film-C, on which the dye fixative agent is distributed.

When the Prescale film is subjected to surface contact stress, the dye microcapsules will break (in proportion to the applied contact pressure and according to the distribution created by the areas actually stressed), causing the dye to be released and immediately fixed by the chemical reagent present on the second sheet. Thanks to Fuji Film's technology, it is possible to produce films with microcapsule layers that have different and optimizable breaking points during production. This essentially allows for the availability of various measurement ranges while ensuring high repeatability and predictability of the breaking point.

Fuji Prescale Film HT-LLW: Usage Instructions

It is recommended to prepare the Prescale HT-LLW films well in advance of the test to allow the films (Film-A and Film-C) to acclimate to the environmental conditions of temperature and humidity in which they will be used. Unroll an appropriate amount of film for the test to be conducted, ensuring that it rests on a clean, dry surface, preferably in a dimly lit area. These preparatory actions will allow the films to lie flat, simplifying the subsequent cutting and positioning operations described below. During these operations (and those that follow), place only the glossy sides of the films on the work surfaces (the matte sides are, in fact, the ones that will collectively determine the density and distribution of the recorded coloration), to avoid any accidental contact that could expose the films before the tests.

none none Proceed to cut the Prescale HT-LLW sheets to the desired dimensions using a simple pair of scissors. Since it consists of two films (Film-A and Film-C), be sure to cut both films that make up the Prescale Film, ensuring that the defined dimensions are suitable for the area to be tested.

none none For the reasons previously mentioned, handle the Prescale HT-LLW with the utmost care and delicacy. Next, overlap the two films, ensuring that the cut shapes align for both films. The films should be positioned with their matte surfaces facing each other (with the glossy sides on the outside); take this into account during the cutting process. none
none none After aligning the two films with their matte sides facing each other, place the resulting double layer in the area to be tested. Then, apply the contact phenomenon to be studied in order to impress the Prescale. For the methods and timing for reproducing the phenomenon being analyzed, refer to the instruction sheet provided. none
none none Evaluate the results of the test using the instruction sheet provided with the Prescale, which includes a color chart and reference graphs. The film will display the mapping of the contact areas detected, recording (according to the density of the developed color) the magnitude of the applied pressure, which can be visually assessed by comparing it with the color chart included. none
