PET decorative film and PVC decorative film in the material property difference

I. Material Properties

PET decorative film

PET is a polyester material with high strength, high rigidity and high weather resistance. Its molecular structure is stable and not easily affected by the external environment, so it has excellent electrical and mechanical properties. In addition, PET decorative film has good heat resistance, cold resistance and chemical resistance.

PVC Decorative Film

PVC is a polyvinyl chloride material that is lightweight, easy to process and relatively inexpensive to produce. It has relatively poor mechanical strength and weather resistance, and is susceptible to aging due to ultraviolet rays, oxidation and other factors. In addition, PVC decorative film may also contain certain toxic substances, which have a certain impact on human health and the environment.

Second, the differences between the analysis

Mechanical strength

PET decorative film has high mechanical strength, can withstand greater pressure and tensile force, not easy to deformation and rupture. The mechanical strength of PVC decorative film is relatively low, and it is easy to be deformed or ruptured under the influence of external force.

Weather resistance

PET decorative film has excellent weather resistance, can resist the influence of ultraviolet rays and oxidation and other factors to maintain long-term stability and beauty. PVC decorative film has relatively poor weather resistance and is prone to aging and discoloration, which affects its beauty and service life.

Environmental performance

PET decorative film can be recycled, in line with environmental requirements, the impact on the environment is small. PVC decorative film is difficult to recycle, causing a certain amount of pollution to the environment. Therefore, from the perspective of environmental protection, PET decorative film is a better choice.

Processing performance

PVC decorative film is relatively good in processing performance, can be processed through a variety of processes, such as hot pressing, laminating, printing and so on. The processing performance of PET decorative film is relatively poor, the processing temperature is high, and professional processing equipment and technology are required.

In summary, PET decorative film and PVC decorative film in the nature of the material there are obvious differences. PET decorative film has high strength, high weather resistance and excellent environmental performance and other characteristics, suitable for high-grade furniture, cabinets, electrical panels and other fields. PVC decorative film is lightweight, easy to process and relatively low production costs and other characteristics, applicable to doors and windows, partitions, wallpaper and other fields. When choosing to use, you need to choose the right material according to the specific requirements of use and environmental conditions.
