Waterproof PVC Film Clear

PVC Film Clear is a plastic film made from polyvinyl chloride resin by polymerizing vinyl chloride monomer and adding various additives and plasticizers. "Transparency" is one of its notable features, which is due to the careful control of film thickness, raw material quality and manufacturing process. It is generally flexible, durable and resistant to chemical corrosion, moisture and abrasion, making it a versatile material suitable for a variety of applications.

Features of PVC Film Clear

1. High transparency

Transparent PVC film has excellent transparency, allowing clear viewing of covered or wrapped objects and surfaces. Its transparency can reach 90% and above, depending on thickness and formulation. For example, 0.1 mm thick film usually has high transparency and is suitable for applications where visual inspection of contents is required.

2. Excellent printability

The PVC Transparent Film has excellent ink absorption and adhesion properties, and can be printed with a variety of designs and patterns with high quality. It is compatible with a variety of printing technologies such as screen printing, offset printing and digital printing. After printing with standard UV-curable inks, the film is able to maintain high-resolution images and has little color shift after long-term exposure to light.

3. Customizable Width and Thickness

Clear PVC film can be manufactured in a variety of widths and thicknesses to suit different needs. Widths typically range from 20 to 80 inches for large-scale applications, such as wide advertising banners, to smaller-scale applications such as product packaging. Thicknesses range from 0.08 mm to 0.7 mm, with thinner films (approximately 0.08 mm) being suitable for light-duty applications, while thicker films (up to 0.7 mm) offer greater durability for heavy-duty uses.

4. Adjustable Softness

The softness of PVC Clear Film can be adjusted to specific needs, which affects its flexibility and handling characteristics. Softness is measured in PHR (parts per hundred of rubber), ranging from 28 PHR to 78 PHR. Films with lower PHR values ​​are relatively stiff, while films with higher PHR values ​​(70 PHR and above may be charged extra) are softer and more flexible. This adjustability allows the film to be customized for different uses, such as flexible packaging or conformable coverings.

5. Special Formula Compliance

By using special additives, this PVC film can comply with various international safety and quality standards. It can comply with EN-71 Part I to VIII, ASTM963, RoHS, PAHs, and Japan-specific toy safety standards. For example, it can be made phthalate-free with different levels of compliance as follows: 3P (BBP, DBP, DEHP) < 1000PPM, 6P (DINP, DNOP, DEHP, DIDP, BBP, DBP) < 1000PPM, and 15P (a more comprehensive list of phthalates) < 1000PPM. It can also pass the cold resistance test with a temperature range of -30 to -10 degrees Celsius, the ultraviolet (UV) resistance test from 100 to 30000 hours, and has low potassium permanganate consumption (< 10PPM), low phenol content (< 5PPM), and low vinyl chloride content (< 1PPM). In addition, it can be free of azo dye compounds, organotin compounds, and nonylphenol.

Application areas of PVC Film Clear

1. Packaging industry

In the packaging field, transparent PVC film is widely used for product packaging due to its transparency and flexibility. For example, in the food industry, it can be used to package fresh produce, candies, and baked goods, allowing consumers to clearly see the products inside while maintaining the freshness of the products. The customizability of the film in terms of thickness and softness makes it suitable for different types of packaging, from light snack packaging to more sturdy electronic product packaging. Its excellent printability also allows brand logos, product information, and attractive designs to be added to the packaging, enhancing the market competitiveness of the product. In addition, the film's moisture and chemical resistance helps protect the packaged goods from environmental factors. The width range (20 - 80 inches) enables it to package large items such as furniture or appliances, while the thickness options (0.08 - 0.7 mm) ensure that the packaging can withstand the weight and handling during transportation. The low content of harmful substances (such as phthalates < 1000PPM) meets the safety requirements for food contact packaging.

2. Advertising and Signage

Transparent PVC film is a popular choice for advertising and signage applications. Its high transparency allows for clear, eye-catching displays. For example, in outdoor advertising, large banners made from transparent PVC film can be printed with high-resolution images and text to attract the attention of passersby. The film's durability and UV resistance make it suitable for long-term outdoor use, withstanding the erosion of sunlight, rain, and high winds without noticeable degradation. In indoor advertising, it can be used for point-of-sale displays, window stickers, and promotional posters. Customizability in width and thickness allows for the production of signs of various sizes and strengths based on specific advertising needs. UV resistance (100 - 30,000 hours) ensures that printed images remain vivid and are not prone to fading in outdoor environments. The range of widths (20 - 80 inches) facilitates the creation of large advertising displays, while thickness options provide the necessary strength for different display configurations.

3. Stationery and Office Supplies

In the stationery and office supplies industry, transparent PVC film is used to create a variety of products such as document bags, file sleeves, and binder covers. Its transparency makes it easy to identify the contents inside, and its flexibility makes it easy to handle and use. The film’s printability allows for labels, logos or decorative patterns to be added to stationery items, enhancing their aesthetics. Additionally, its abrasion and chemical resistance ensures that stationery items remain in good condition during regular use and storage. The range of thicknesses (0.08 - 0.7 mm) provides different durability levels for different stationery applications. Thinner films can be used for lightweight document sleeves, while thicker films are suitable for more rugged binder covers. Low levels of hazardous materials ensure a safe office environment.

4. Medical and Healthcare

Although less well known, transparent PVC film also has applications in the medical and healthcare sector. It can be used to package medical devices and supplies such as syringes, catheters and surgical instruments because its transparency allows for visual inspection of the contents and can be sterilized. The film meets various safety standards, including low levels of hazardous materials, ensuring that there is no risk to patients or medical staff. Additionally, its flexibility and tear resistance make it suitable for creating protective sleeves for medical devices during transportation and storage. RoHS compliance, phthalate-free requirements, and low hazardous material consumption (e.g., potassium permanganate < 10PPM, phenol < 5PPM) make it suitable for medical applications. Thickness options (0.08 - 0.7mm) can be selected based on the specific requirements of medical device packaging.

5. Automotive Industry

In the automotive industry, transparent PVC films are used in a variety of applications such as coverings to protect car interiors during manufacturing or transportation, window films for sun protection and privacy, and components of certain automotive decorative parts. Its transparency and flexibility make it suitable for making custom-fitted coverings to protect car seats, dashboards, and other interior parts from dust, scratches, and UV damage. The film's chemical and abrasion resistance ensures that it can withstand the harsh environment of the car interior, including exposure to cleaning agents and friction. UV resistance (100 - 30,000 hours) helps protect car interiors from fading and sun damage. Adjustable softness (28 - 78PHR) enables the film to be customized to the specific shapes and contours of different car models. The low content of harmful substances meets the safety requirements of automotive interior materials.
