The main differences between PP decorative film and PVC decorative film are as follows:
Material and Environmental Friendliness:
PP Decorative Film: Made of polypropylene, it degrades during recycling, and its combustion products are only water and carbon dioxide, releasing no toxic gases, making it environmentally friendly.
PVC Decorative Film: Made of polyvinyl chloride, it may release toxicity and odors, posing a potential impact on the environment and human health.
Characteristics and Performance:
PP Decorative Film: Possesses characteristics such as being healthy and non-toxic, waterproof and moisture-proof, cold and heat resistant, scratch-resistant and wear-resistant, oil-resistant and easy to clean, with bright colors, beautiful texture, insulation, and strong plasticity, exhibiting excellent durability, aesthetics, and functionality.
PVC Decorative Film: Can be made into soft PVC or rigid PVC. Rigid PVC has high fire resistance, moisture resistance, and insulation. It is bonded to the surface of the board at high temperature, making it less prone to peeling off, and has a higher quality.
Applications and Trends:
PP Decorative Film: Suitable for flat application, wrapping, and conditional 3D vacuum forming. Due to its safe and environmentally friendly characteristics, flame retardancy, antibacterial properties, and high folding resistance, it has become a more popular decorative film choice.
PVC decorative film: widely used in building materials, packaging, and pharmaceutical industries, especially in the building materials industry due to its high fire resistance, moisture resistance, and insulation properties. However, with increasing environmental awareness, its use may be restricted.
