Clear PVC Coated / Glue Overlay For Plastic Cards Lamination
PVC coated overlay is a versatile and popular material used in various industries for enhancing the durability and aesthetics of different products. This article explores the many benefits and applications of PVC overlay, highlighting its unique properties, manufacturing process, and uses in different sectors.
PVC coated overlay, also known as polyvinyl chloride overlay, is a thin layer of PVC material that is applied to the surface of various substrates to provide protection, enhance durability, and improve aesthetics.
It has higher peel strength and it is suitable for laminating with most of PVC sheets printed by various printers.
All inks require an adhesive layer between ink and overlay to provide a superior bond, so we offer a complete range of suitable coatings for all our overlay films to enhance bond strength. These adhesives can be used with UV (offset or silk screen) and oxidative inks. They meet or exceed ISO Peel strength standards and are available in rolls or sheets. And we have designed specific coatings to prevent distortion during lamination; And, it offers a wider processing window.
Features:
• Environmentally friendly, less emission to the atmosphere
• Suitable for hot press lamination machine type.
• Provide high bonding strength and give finished cards a glossy surface.
• Size is customized Card Film PVC Coated Overlay.
• Simplify card production process.
• Anti-abrasion, extend the life of cards.
• Suitable for conventional ink and UV ink.
• Easy for magnetic stripe tape laying.
The Manufacturing Process of PVC Overlay
The manufacturing process of PVC overlay involves several steps. Firstly, PVC resin is mixed with additives, plasticizers, and stabilizers to achieve the desired properties and flexibility. This mixture is then processed through a calendaring or extrusion process to form thin sheets of PVC overlay. The sheets are then embossed, printed, or laminated with decorative patterns or textures before being cut into the required sizes and shapes.
PVC overlay is a transparent layer that is applied to the surface of a plastic card. It acts as a protective barrier, shielding the underlying card from scratches, fading, and moisture. The strong coated adhesive ensures that the overlay firmly adheres to the card, providing long-lasting protection.
One side is a smooth surface, another side is coved with glue.
It has better adaptability to various inks. It features much longer aging time and higher peel strength. It is quite suitable for laying magnetic stripes on its surface with dry coating surface. It can ensure better legibility of anti-fake marks on card surface. It is environmentally friendly without abnormal smells.
PVC overlays are commonly used in the production of identification cards, such as driver's licenses, ID cards, and access cards. These overlays consist of a thin layer of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material that is applied on top of the printed card surface. The overlay serves as a protective coating, enhancing the durability and longevity of the card.
