Prescale from Fujifilm is an advanced material that can be used to visualize pressure and pressure distribution at various sensitivities. The Prescale film consists of two layers that react with each other when pressure is applied. As force is exerted, a red coloration appears, with its density corresponding to the pressure level. The film can be cut into any shape or size, making it suitable for a wide range of applications such as pressing processes, joining operations, or thermal laminations.
The film is simply cut to the required size, placed at the desired measurement point, and then exposed to pressure and heat. The resulting color development indicates the intensity of the applied pressure. Evaluation can be performed visually using a color chart or digitally via the FUJIFILM Prescale Mobile app.
For temperatures up to 220 °C
With the new series for use at high temperatures, there is now a film available that has been specially developed to make pressure distributions visible under the influence of heat. This product line is designed for applications where both pressure and heat are present. Two temperature categories are available High Temperature 100, suitable for temperatures from 35 °C to 150 °C and High Temperature 200 for temperatures from 150 °C to 220 °C.
Compared to conventional Prescale films, the high‑temperature versions offer significantly improved stability. Unwanted coloration, deformation of the base material, or peeling of the coating are greatly reduced, even during extended exposure to heat.
Both product lines are available on rolls in three pressure sensitivity levels: (0,2- 0,6, 0,5 – 2,5 und 2,5 bis 10 MPa).
