With good printability and cost advantage, holographic PVC is a favorite material for making Christmas decoration items, stickers, stationery, and posters, ...etc. Holographic PVC is also a great material for glitter and sequin.

History

The worlds most versatile plastic had a rather humble beginning. A rubber scientist during the early 1920s stumbled onto a new material with fantastic properties during his search for a synthetic adhesive. Waldo Semon was intrigued with his finding, and experimented by making golf balls and shoe heels out of versatile material called PVC. After then with the advent of packaging the vinyl films were formed with better material properties.

Features
PVC films provide controlled oxygen and water vapor transmission. They operate satisfactorily on high speed packing machines. They offer exceptionally good stretch and are easily heat-sealed. They limit excessive moisture build-up while preventing the meat from dehydrating.

PVC films are temperature sensitive, developing a tendency to shatter and split at cold temperatures and shrink back or block when exposed to high temperatures. The color may also change to yellow when exposed to heat.

Types

• Rigid PVC Films- Has excellent printing capabilities and is used for various applications including door panels, stationary, lampshades, ceiling foil, and cooling tower. They are also used for blister packaging.
• Semi-Rigid PVC Films- Has excellent printing capabilities and is used for a variety of applications including bookbinding and packaging.
• Flexible PVC Films- Are unplasticized PVC with plasticizers blended into it. They offer excellent lay-flat, a large selection of opaque colors and prints. They are used for bookbinding, pool liner, graphics, and water bed.

Applications: PVC Films and Packaging
PVC films have excellent thermo-formability, good chemical resistance and optimized protection and because of this they are a world standard in pharmaceutical packaging. They have been a major contributor to food safety, both protecting and preserving food. PVC films are used for a wide range of pharma and medical packaging. They are ideal for making Blister Packing of Tablets, Capsules, Needles, Syringes, Vials, Ampoules, Ointment tubes, Suppository packs, Medical Kits, Surgical dressings etc.

It is used in supermarket and case-ready processor industries because of uniform gauge control. Precision gauge control results in exceptional clarity, elasticity and recovery, and welded package seals, supporting increased outputs on automatic packaging machinery. Also used in the packaging of sketch pens, pens, etc.

Some technical applications of PVC films include print-carrying substrates, credit cards, adhesive tapes, office equipment, furniture frontage, pipe insulation and recycling films.
