High-Adhesion Protection for Rough or Textured Surfaces (9330)
Hullguard Unpolished (9330) is a specialist surface protection film designed for unpolished metals and rough or textured substrates. With its high initial tack and low surface gloss, it's ideal for protecting interior areas such as furniture, carpets, fittings, and other sensitive elements during marine construction or refit.
Its semi-transparent finish allows for easy visual inspection of the protected surfaces, while the unique base film design prevents stretching during application — ensuring a more reliable seal and clean removal.
Despite its strong adhesion, Hullguard Unpolished is peelable with no residue, making it a safe, effective choice for detailed and high-traffic areas. The film is also fully recyclable, aligning with responsible environmental practices.

Application Information
Proper Application For Best Results
-
1
Surface Preparation
While Hullguard Unpolished is designed for textured surfaces, it's still important to ensure the area is clean, dry, and free from loose particles that could interfere with adhesion.
-
2
Pre-Cut Sizing
For textured or irregular surfaces, pre-cut the film to manageable sizes that suit the contours of the area being protected.
-
3
Gradual Application
Apply with firm, even pressure, working from one end to the other to minimize air entrapment between the film and the textured surface.
-
4
Edge Reinforcement
Pay special attention to edges and corners, applying extra pressure to ensure the film conforms to texture variations and maintains a secure seal.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does Hullguard Unpolished compare to standard protection films?
Hullguard Unpolished features a much higher initial tack than standard films, making it specially formulated to adhere to rougher, more textured surfaces where conventional films might not achieve adequate adhesion. Its low-stretch base film also provides more stability during application, which is particularly important when covering uneven substrates.
-
Will the strong adhesion damage delicate surfaces upon removal?
Despite its strong adhesion, Hullguard Unpolished is engineered to remove cleanly without leaving residue or damaging surfaces. The adhesive system is designed to maintain a high level of tack while still allowing for peelable removal. However, for extremely delicate surfaces, we recommend testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.
-
How does the semi-transparent feature benefit inspections?
The semi-transparent quality of Hullguard Unpolished allows for visual inspection of the protected surface without removing the film. This is particularly valuable during ongoing construction or refit projects where regular monitoring may be necessary while still maintaining surface protection. It also helps installation crews ensure complete coverage without gaps.
-
Is Hullguard Unpolished suitable for outdoor use?
While Hullguard Unpolished can withstand environmental exposure for up to 3 months, it's primarily designed for interior applications. For extended outdoor protection requirements, especially in direct UV exposure, we recommend our Hullguard Premium product line which offers up to 12 months of weatherability. Hullguard Unpolished excels in interior settings where strong adhesion to textured surfaces is the priority.
