Frequently Asked Questions: Technical & Industry Terms
1. What does "gloss unit (GU)" mean for PVC Rigid Sheet(glossy surface)?
Gloss Unit (GU) is a quantitative measure of surface reflectivity at a specified angle (commonly 60°). For PVC Rigid Sheet(glossy surface), values above 90 GU indicate high-luster, reflective surfaces, ideal for architectural and cleanroom settings.
2. Are sheets certified to international standards?
Yes. Leading producers certify products to ISO 9001:2015, RoHS, and meet UL94 V-0 fire safety for industrial use. Alloyed solutions comply with FDA or EN standards where needed.
3. What are the common thickness and width tolerances?
Modern lines achieve thickness tolerance of ±0.03 mm and width tolerance of ±2 mm, verified via laser measuring systems per ASTM D1594.
4. How is UV resistance tested?
Accelerated aging chambers (ISO 4892-2) simulate multi-year sunlight exposure. Sheets showing <2% color shift after 2000h are considered "excellent UV stable".
5. Which industries most benefit from PVC Rigid Sheet(glossy surface)?
Key sectors: chemical storage, lab equipment, wall cladding, signage, electronics, pharmaceutical infrastructure, and water treatment facilities.
6. Installation standard references?
Installations typically follow DIN 16927 and ASTM D2563, focusing on joint-edge welding, expansion allowances, and chemical compatibility.
7. What is the expected delivery period and quality guarantee?
Standard lead time: 10–18 working days. All sheets are backed by a 2-year warranty against delamination, excessive color fade, or cracking under normal use.
8. Can sheets be processed further after purchase?
Yes, PVC Rigid Sheet(glossy surface) supports CNC routing, drilling, thermal bending, die-cutting, and digital printing with consistent edge quality.
