The PVC Single-Sided Frosted Sheet is a specialty film/sheet made primarily from polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It is formed via extrusion or calendering processes, followed by precision frosting treatment on one surface. The product combines the light transmittance of a transparent substrate with the light-diffusing properties of a frosted surface, offering unique application value in decoration, lighting, packaging, and other fields.

Processing & Installation Guidelines

Cutting & Fabrication:

   Tool Selection: Recommend sharp straight knives or circular knives to avoid tearing edges.

   Laser Cutting: Suitable for CO₂ lasers, power 40-60W, moderate speed.

   Die Cutting: Blade angle 45-50°, ensure uniform pressure.

Bonding & Lamination:

1.  Lamination with Substrate: Use PVC-specific adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive; frosted side may require pre-treatment.

2.  Self-lamination: Can be heat-sealed (100-120°C / 0.5-1.0 MPa).

3.  UV Adhesive Bonding: Recommend transparent UV adhesive; curing should not affect light transmission.

Surface Treatment:

   The frosted side is generally not recommended for further treatment.

   The glossy side can undergo secondary processing: screen printing, spraying, coating, embossing, etc.
