How to choose the right Laminated PVC foam board according to the surface treatment and lamination type

1. Surface treatment method
Surface treatment refers to a series of processing operations performed on the surface of Laminated PVC foam board to improve its appearance, durability, printing adaptability, etc. There are several common surface treatment methods:

1. Glossy treatment
Glossy treatment is to smooth the surface of PVC foam board to make it appear high gloss, smooth and flat, which is usually suitable for high-quality printing and display needs. The glossy surface can reflect light well, making the color more vivid, and is suitable for billboards, display boards, logos and other occasions that require bright colors and clear details.

Applicable scenarios:
Advertising industry: The glossy surface can achieve high-definition printing effects, especially suitable for billboards, display boards, signboards, etc.
Indoor decoration: Suitable for exhibitions, shows and other places where visual effects need to be highlighted.

Advantages:
High gloss, good visual effect.
Suitable for high-quality digital printing or UV printing, with vivid printing effects.
The surface is flat and can maintain a clean and bright appearance for a long time.

Disadvantages:
It is easy to leave fingerprints and stains, and requires more cleaning and maintenance.
Long-term exposure to strong sunlight may cause slight interference of reflected light.

2. Matt treatment
The matte surface treatment is to frost the surface of the PVC foam board to make it matte and present a low-reflection effect. This treatment method is usually used in places where reflected light or excessive light is not required, and can effectively avoid the visual interference caused by reflection.

Applicable scenarios:
Indoor home: such as bedrooms, living rooms and other places that do not require strong reflection.

Display boards and advertisements: Suitable for some places that require low-key and high-end temperament, avoiding the reflection effect under strong light.

Advantages:
Avoids the reflection problem caused by the glossy surface, suitable for some places that require low-key and soft.
The surface is less likely to show stains and is easy to clean and maintain.
The scratch resistance is relatively strong and it is not easy to leave marks.

Disadvantages:
The printing effect is slightly inferior to the glossy surface, and the color may not be as bright as the glossy surface.

The surface texture is relatively rough and may not be suitable for some high-quality flat printing needs.

3. Wire drawing treatment
Wire drawing treatment is a process of mechanically stretching or grinding the surface texture into fine stripes, so that it has a surface similar to metal wire drawing. This treatment method not only improves the aesthetics, but also increases the touch and visual level of the PVC foam board.

Applicable scenarios:
High-end decoration: suitable for high-end home, office decoration, etc., where visual effects are required.
Certain industrial applications: such as display boards or advertising boards with an industrial feel.
Advantages:
Beautiful, with unique visual effects.
Unique touch, suitable for specific high-end market needs.
Enhanced surface strength, good anti-scratch performance.
Disadvantages:
May affect printing quality, especially in applications that require high-detail printing.
2. Selection of lamination type
The surface lamination layer of the laminated PVC foam board directly affects its weather resistance, UV resistance, chemical stability and other characteristics. According to different needs, the selection of lamination materials is crucial. Common lamination types include PE film, PET film and PVC film.

1. PE film (polyethylene film)
PE film is a common laminating material with good water resistance and moisture resistance, suitable for indoor and some light outdoor applications. The cost of PE film is relatively low, so it is commonly used on billboards and some decorative panels.

Applicable scenarios:
Indoor advertising: such as advertising displays in stores and showrooms.
Low-intensity outdoor applications: such as temporary signs, billboards, etc.

Advantages:
Low cost and high cost performance.
Good moisture resistance, suitable for humid environments.
Easy to process and install.

Disadvantages:
Poor UV resistance, long-term exposure to the outdoors may cause fading and aging.
General high temperature resistance, may deform when exposed to high temperature environment.
2. PET film (polyethylene terephthalate film)
PET film has higher UV resistance and heat resistance, so it is suitable for outdoor and high temperature environments. It is durable and can effectively resist UV radiation, chemical corrosion and high temperature weather.

Applicable scenarios:
Outdoor advertising: such as street billboards, billboards, shopping mall facades.
Industrial and architectural applications: in environments that require strong weather resistance.
Advantages:

Good UV resistance, suitable for long-term exposure to sunlight.
Excellent heat resistance and anti-aging properties.
High strength, able to remain stable in harsh environments.
Disadvantages:

High cost, suitable for high-end markets with high requirements for durability.
3. PVC film (polyvinyl chloride film)
PVC film is one of the common materials in coated PVC foam boards, with excellent weather resistance, water resistance, UV resistance and corrosion resistance. Its advantages are high strength and durability, suitable for environments with high requirements for waterproofing, moisture resistance and UV resistance.

Applicable scenarios:
High-end billboards: such as long-term exposed signs such as city facade advertisements and station advertisements.
Architectural decoration: such as exterior wall panels, roof panels and other construction fields that require strong weather resistance.

Advantages:
Excellent UV resistance and corrosion resistance, suitable for long-term outdoor use.
The material is stable and has a long service life.
Good water resistance, suitable for various environments.

Disadvantages:
The cost is relatively high, especially when high-quality surface treatment is required.

3. Comprehensive considerations for choosing the right surface treatment and coating type
When choosing the right coated PVC foam board, you need to consider the following factors:
Use environment: If it is outdoors or exposed to the sun for a long time, it is more suitable to choose a coating with better UV resistance (such as PET film or PVC film); if it is for indoor display, you can choose a lower-cost PE film.
Visual effect: If you pursue a bright effect, you should choose a glossy surface treatment; if you need a low-key and non-reflective effect, choose a matte or brushed treatment.
Durability: For applications that require durability, it is recommended to choose a coating type with high weather resistance and UV resistance (such as PVC film and PET film), as well as a board with a stronger surface treatment.
Cost budget: Choose the right surface treatment and coating type according to the budget to ensure a suitable balance between performance and cost.
