Let's unveil the mystery of decorative films

Decorative films bring magnificent transformation to a space.Few of us may stop to wonder: what exactly is this thin layer of film made of? And why is it had so many remarkable properties such as wear resistance, water resistance, and stain resistance?

The diverse properties of decorative films are closely tied to the selection of their core materials. Currently, common decorative films on the market are mainly based on high-molecular polymers, among which polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyolefin (PO), and polyester (PET) are the three most widely used types. These materials not only determine the basic characteristics of decorative films but also lay the foundation for the subsequent realization of their functions.

·What are the characteristics of PVC and PET materials?

PVC decorative films have become the first choice for many scenarios due to their excellent plasticity and cost-effectiveness. They can adjust the hardness, flexibility and durability of the film by adding different additives, such as plasticizers and stabilizers. However, as the concept of environmental protection takes root in people's minds, plasticizer-free PVC decorative films (namely PVC-free ones) have gradually gained popularity. While maintaining their original performance, they are more environmentally friendly and healthier.

PET decorative films are knowed for their high strength, high transparency, and excellent heat resistance. They are often used in scenarios that require both aesthetics and durability, such as furniture surfaces and electrical appliance panels. In addition, PET materials also possess good printing performance, enabling them to present more delicate and rich patterns and colors, thus meeting the personalized needs of different users.

·What key role does the production process play?

High-quality raw materials alone are not sufficient; advanced production processes are the key to endowing decorative films with various "superior properties". The production process of decorative films is a complex systematic project, among which several key process links are particularly important. These processes not only affect the appearance quality of decorative films but also directly determine their functionality and service life.
