Material Selection

The substrate determines mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and compatibility with adhesives or mechanical fasteners. Choosing the appropriate base material also influences the product's resistance to moisture, chemicals, and impact.

• PVC‑coated polyester fabric – tensile strength ≈30 MPa, elongation at break 20 %, dimensional stability ±0.2 % after 24 h at 70 °C, excellent moisture barrier.
• Vinyl (phthalate‑free) – Shore A hardness 85, tensile strength 22 MPa, low VOC emission (<50 g/m²·h), suitable for high‑humidity zones.
• Non‑woven fiberglass mat – tensile strength 45 MPa, negligible creep, fire‑rating class A2‑s1,d0 per EN 13501‑1, compatible with high‑temperature curing.

Design and Customization Process

Surface texture can be imparted through embossing rollers or a clear topcoat with controlled gloss levels (10‑80 GU). Scale adjustment maintains the original motif’s repeat while adapting to panel widths ranging from 0.6 m to 1.4 m.

Manufacturing Workflow

A protective overlaminate (clear PET or PU) is applied via a nip roller at 0.2 MPa pressure, providing abrasion resistance and facilitating cleaning. The laminated product then passes through a convection oven at 80 °C for 2 min to relieve residual stresses.

Typical Applications

Retail spaces utilize the product to convey brand heritage; the surface’s resistance to scuffing and staining supports high‑traffic zones such as storefronts and fitting rooms without frequent replacement.
