PVC panel is a lightweight plate material mainly made of polyvinyl chloride resin. Produced via high-temperature extrusion molding, its surface can be laminated, printed, or engraved. It comes in a thickness range of 3mm to 20mm, with the common specification of 1220mm × 2440mm. Unlike delicate acrylic sheets or rigid metal plates, it can achieve 80% of the visual effect at less than one-third of the cost of acrylic—truly a king of cost-effectiveness!

First and foremost, it is extremely durable. In our conventional perception, PVC is simply seen as “plastic” — a material that wears out easily. However, the reality is that the wear-resistant coating technology for modern commercial PVC panel is now highly advanced. High-quality product is covered with a tough, transparent wear-resistant layer on the surface. It also exhibits excellent corrosion resistance, capable of withstanding erosion from most inorganic acids, alkalis, salts and common organic solvents, while maintaining stable performance at all times even in humid or chemically aggressive environments.

Thanks to such outstanding durability, PVC flooring is commonly found in high-traffic areas such as large airports and hospitals, as it can endure years of heavy foot traffic and wheeled vehicle pressure. A great number of our clients also come from these industries.

In the advertising design industry, a wide variety of materials are used, and PVC panel is one of the commonly employed types. A PVC panel is a plate material extruded and formed with PVC as the main raw material. This type of sheet has a flat surface, a honeycomb texture on the cross-section, light weight and high strength. The common color of PVC panel is white; colored ones are also available, though it is less frequently used in actual production. If the finished product must be colored, it can undergo painting treatment.

PVC panel is classified into PVC skinned foam panel and PVC free foam panel based on the production process. Skinned foam panel has a hard layer formed on one or both surfaces, featuring high hardness, resistance to scratches, and a slightly sandy texture on the cut surface. It is suitable for making PVC letters and are priced slightly higher. PVC free foam panel, on the other hand, has moderate surface hardness, a fine concave-convex matte surface, and may be prone to scratches, with a slightly lower price.

Mechanical engraving is generally adopted for PVC letter carving. Additionally, a layer of dual-color board or acrylic can be attached to the surface using special acrylic adhesive to enhance its quality feel. PVC panel is suitable for UV printing, and due to their high precision, durability and water resistance, it is more suitable for outdoor advertising and long-term displays.
