Film PVC Transparent 2 mm
The 2mm transparent PVC film is an unconventional thickness polyvinyl chloride material product. The 2mm transparent PVC film is a rigid transparent polyvinyl chloride sheet produced through calendering or casting processes, with strict thickness tolerance (±5–10%).
Film PVC Transparent 2 mm has high optical transparency with a visible light transmittance >85%. This film offers good chemical resistance, is easy to process (cutting, thermoforming, welding), and can be used for signage, protective covers, graphic overlays, packaging, and automotive glass.

Film PVC Transparent 2 mm Physical and Mechanical Properties
| Property | Value |
| Density | 1.32 ± 0.02 g/cm³ |
| Tensile Strength | 20–21 MPa (crosswise/lengthwise) |
| >44 N/mm² (for high‐impact PVC) | |
| >70 N/mm² (rigid grades) | |
| Elongation at Break | 40 % (rigid) up to 292–300 % (flexible grades) |
| Tensile Modulus (Young’s Modulus) | 3 200 N/mm² (rigid) up to 425 000 N/mm² (static‐dissipative PVC) |

The conventional thickness of PVC film ranges from 0.08 to 0.2 mm. Thickness exceeding 0.25 mm is generally classified as PVC sheet.
A thickness of 2 mm is considered ultra-thick and requires special processing techniques (such as calendaring stacking or multi-layer lamination). It offers high strength and weather resistance, though its flexibility may be reduced.
Film PVC Transparent 2 mm Performance Characteristics
| Performance Category | Description |
| High Transparency | Good visibility, suitable for product display, especially ideal for consumer product packaging that requires visual appeal. |
| Good Impact Resistance | Offers strong toughness, capable of withstanding external impacts to protect the packaged contents from damage. |
| High Rigidity | Different from traditional flexible films, the 2 mm thickness provides excellent stiffness, suitable for rigid packaging needs. |
| Excellent Thermoformability | Easily heated and molded, suitable for thermoforming processes such as vacuum forming and blister packaging. |
| Good Moisture Resistance | Effectively blocks moisture intrusion, extending product shelf life. |
| Heat Sealability | Can be laminated with PET, aluminum foil, paperboard, etc., providing strong sealing. |
| Chemical Resistance | Resistant to oils and partial acid and alkali corrosion, suitable for packaging a variety of products. |
| Environmentally Friendly & Recyclable | Conventional PVC materials can be recycled; some eco-friendly formulations can also meet RoHS, REACH, and other environmental requirements. |
Film PVC Transparent 2 mm Optical Properties
Light Transmission Rate:
- Visible light transmittance of transparent PVC grade is >85%.
- UV transmittance is typically <3.6% (depending on the formulation).
- Haze: High-transparency cast films have haze <2%; embossed or matte finishes can increase haze to 10-20%.
- Surface Finish: Available in glossy (gls/gls) or matte/embossed options.
Film PVC Transparent 2 mm Thermal Properties
- Vicat softening point: 77 ± 2 °C.
- Maximum continuous use temperature: 50-60 °C; short-term maximum up to 80 °C.
- Linear thermal expansion coefficient: ~70 × 10⁻⁶ /K.
- Thermal conductivity: 0.16 W/m·K.
Film PVC Transparent 2 mm Chemical and Environmental Resistance
- Good resistance: resistant to water, dilute acids/alkalis, alcohols, ketones, and aliphatic hydrocarbons.
- Poor resistance: aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene), chlorinated solvents (trichloroethylene), strong oxidizing agents.
- Weather resistance: transparent grade films without UV stabilizers may yellow over time; UV-grade films contain stabilizers that extend outdoor service life.
Film PVC Transparent 2 mm Material Characteristics
- Composition: made of 100% pure polyvinyl chloride (PVC), offering high chemical stability, flexibility, and durability.
- Flexibility: available in both soft/flexible and rigid versions. Flexible film is ideal for applications like curtains, tablecloths, and protective covers, while rigid sheets (PVC glass) are suitable for partitions or flame-retardant windows in structural applications.
- Transparency: ultra-clear or crystal-clear with high light transmittance, capable of simulating the appearance of glass.
Film PVC Transparent 2 mm Material Composition and Manufacturing
Polymer Base
Polymer: rigid PVC (polyvinyl chloride) compound, typically combined with impact modifiers and stabilizers to improve transparency and processability.
Additives:
- Plasticizers: rarely or not added for rigid grades; impact-modified grades use 4-6 parts per hundred resin (phr) of impact modifiers to enhance toughness.
- Stabilizers: thermal stabilizers (e.g., calcium/zinc or tin-based stabilizers) are used to prevent degradation during processing.
- UV stabilizers: used in outdoor-grade films to prevent yellowing (optional).
Film PVC Transparent 2 mm Production Methods
- Calendering: PVC melt is passed through heated rollers to form a continuous film—produces a very smooth surface and allows precise thickness control.
- Casting: PVC solution is coated onto a carrier material and solvent is evaporated—offers superior optical quality and allows varied thickness.
Processing Methods
- Vacuum Forming: commonly used for blister trays and molded transparent shells.
- Thermoforming: suitable for mass production of packaging boxes and trays.
- Die Cutting and Stamping: cut into desired shapes for heat sealing or bonding.
- Lamination Processing: can be laminated with PET, aluminum foil, cardboard, etc., for blister card packaging.
