1. Wood-grain PVC films and solid-color films are two distinct types of materials suitable for manual application, flat lamination, and vacuum forming.
2. Flat-surface materials are suitable for manual lamination or mechanical roller coating.
3. Vacuum-forming materials are designed for vacuum-forming lamination processes; these materials typically offer heat resistance exceeding 120°C.
4. PVC surfacing-commonly known as plastic surfacing-is a widely used decorative material. It can be categorized by pattern or color (solid or wood-grain), hardness (film or sheet), and finish (matte or high-gloss). Based on the application process, it is classified into flat decorative films and vacuum-forming decorative films. PVC sheets are generally used in the vacuum-forming process; wood-grain PVC films are frequently used to create vacuum-formed surfaces for items such as office furniture, cabinet doors, bathroom vanity doors, interior doors, and decorative panels.
