Cold Weather Resistant PVC Film

Technical Parameters

Material Selection Guide

The critical selection factor is the specific low-temperature rating (Cold Crack Point) required for the target application.

• Temperature Verification: Determine the coldest temperature the film will encounter (e.g., −20∘C for temperate freezers, −40∘C for Arctic use) and specify the corresponding CWR grade.

• Abrasion/Impact: For high-traffic areas, choose thicker gauges (2.0mm) and a rib-profile strip to manage impact wear.

• Tinting: Available in clear, amber (for UV/welding protection), or opaque colors for specific light/privacy requirements.

Manufacturing and Tailoring

The production is focused on precise compounding and slow-rate calendering for optimal molecular stability.

• Plasticizer Selection:

  We utilize high-performance, specialized plasticizers with extremely low glass transition temperatures to ensure cold-weather flexibility.

• Cold-Crack Testing: Film samples are tested by impact and bending in controlled low-temperature chambers to certify the guaranteed Cold Crack Point.

• Format Customization: We supply standard clear rolls, or custom-cut, pre-punched strips with rounded edges for immediate mounting on standard strip door hardware systems.

Deployment FAQ

• Q: Can I weld this film using standard heat seal equipment?

  A: Yes, it is fully weldable. However, due to the specialized formulation, precise control over heat and pressure is necessary to ensure optimal seam strength.

• Q: Do the anti-cold additives cause the material to feel oily or sticky?

  A: High-quality CWR films are formulated to minimize plasticizer migration (blooming), but minimal surface residue may be present. This usually dissipates after installation and cleaning.
