What is the difference between PET plastic sheet rolls and PVC plastic sheet rolls?

Difference between PET plastic sheet rolls and PVC plastic sheet rolls

The main differences between PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) plastic sheet rolls and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) plastic sheet rolls are:

1. Material Properties

PET plastic sheet rolls: Known for its excellent clarity, strength, and chemical resistance. It is lightweight and recyclable, often used in food packaging and beverage bottles.

PVC plastic sheet rolls: More rigid and durable than PET plastic sheet rolls, but less transparent. It is often used in construction, plumbing, and electrical applications due to its toughness and resistance to moisture.

2. Applications

PET plastic sheet rolls: Commonly used for food packaging, film, and transparent containers. Its recyclability makes it popular in sustainable packaging.

PVC plastic sheet rolls: Used in construction materials, signage, and various industrial applications. It can be flexible or rigid, depending on the formulation.

3. Environmental Impact

PET plastic sheet rolls: Generally considered more environmentally friendly due to its recyclability and lower toxicity.

PVC plastic sheet rolls: Concerns exist regarding its production and disposal due to the release of harmful chemicals.

4. Cost

PET plastic sheet rolls: Typically more expensive than PVC due to its properties and recycling processes.

PVC plastic sheet rolls: Generally more cost-effective for certain applications, particularly in construction.

These differences influence their choice based on specific needs in various industries.

Introduction of PVC plastic sheet rolls

The price of PVC plastic sheet rolls material is lower than that of other film materials. When producing large quantities of home appliance control panel products, if the PVC plastic sheet rolls material is used, the production cost can be reduced. At the same time, the ductility of the PVC plastic sheet rolls material is relatively good, and the three-dimensional concave-convex button bulge can be processed by cold pressing.

Introduction of PET plastic sheet rolls

PET plastic sheet rolls material features: high transparency, high hardness, high biaxial tensile strength, good toughness, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and good aging resistance.

PET plastic sheet rolls are more expensive than PVC plastic sheet rolls. Most of the properties of PET plastic sheet rolls materials are similar to those of PVC plastic sheet rolls materials, so the amount used for control panel stickers is less than that of PVC plastic sheet rolls materials. However, in some special application scenarios, such as insulation, tensile and compressive resistance, solvent corrosion resistance, etc., when PVC plastic sheet rolls materials cannot meet the requirements, PET plastic plastic sheet rolls are needed.
