What are the differences between PVC film and ordinary adhesive film? Ordinary adhesive film is directly applied to the surface of the board with glue at room temperature, so after one or two years, the film is prone to peeling off. PVC film, on the other hand, is pressed onto the surface of the board using a specialized vacuum laminating machine at a high temperature of 110 degrees, making it less prone to detachment.
Although PVC film has excellent quality assurance, some people may say that PVC is a chemical product after all, and it cannot be compared to natural materials. It cannot eliminate toxicity and odor, and cannot avoid causing harm to the environment. The fact is that this is not the case. This is because the raw materials for producing PVC film are usually specially refined, and toxic substances are completely extracted. Therefore, PVC is completely non-toxic and odorless, and has no irritation to the human skin or respiratory system. For those who are allergic to wood and paint, using PVC film packaging for furniture or kitchenware is very suitable. By using PVC film as decorative film, people can use a large amount of medium density board, particle board, plywood, and fiberboard, reducing the amount of wood used and thus reducing damage to forests and even the environment. From this perspective, PVC film has made a significant contribution to the protection of the ecological environment.
The use of PVC once caused great controversy in Western countries, and many people attempted to replace PVC with various other materials. But it has been proven that the quality of PVC is not inferior to other alternatives, and it is cheaper in cost than these materials. Experts have found through research that in many industries, abandoning the use of PVC will result in significant additional costs. Specific data indicates that abandoning the use of PVC will incur additional costs of several billion marks. For specific consumers, this will mean a huge additional expense. Taking windows made of PVC as the surface material as an example, if these windows do not use PVC but instead use ordinary wood as the surface material, simply cleaning and repairing them would increase the cost significantly. In a small town in the UK, people have been using wooden windows for the past twenty years. Someone investigated the cleaning and maintenance costs of these windows and compared them with the cleaning costs of PVC windows. The results showed that the cleaning costs of ordinary wooden windows were twice that of PVC windows.
