The Solution for Long-Lasting and Resistant PVC Surfaces

PLEXIGLAS® and EUROPLEX® Films for high-quality PVC laminates

PVC decorative laminates are used in a wide range of exterior applications, including window frames, house entrance doors, garage doors, façades, and outdoor furniture. Across these applications, they are continuously exposed to UV radiation, weathering, pollution, and mechanical daily wear throughout their service life. Over time, these influences can lead to color fading, surface degradation, and reduced long-term performance.

PLEXIGLAS® and EUROPLEX® films for PVC laminates are engineered to preserve color brilliance, surface quality, and long-term performance while offering solutions ranging from UV protection and weather resistance to enhanced cleanability and chemical resistance.

Protecting decorative PVC laminates goes beyond appearance

LAMINATING GUIDELINES FOR PLEXIGLAS® AND EUROPLEX® FILMS

In-line heat lamination is the most commonly used method for bonding PLEXIGLAS® and EUROPLEX® films to a wide range of substrates.

When laminating PLEXIGLAS® films to PVC, ABS, or PC films and sheet, the materials are joined through a melt-bonding process, eliminating the need for adhesives or primers.

Recommended lamination temperatures depend on several factors, including the grade of PLEXIGLAS® or EUROPLEX® film used, the composition and thickness of the carrier film or sheet, and the processing speed. For PVC substrates, typical lamination temperatures range from 140°C to 170°C.
