Plate Pressed PVC sheet

Plate pressed PVC sheet is created by fusing together layers of a calendered intermediate film that has been specifically formulated to impart the desired performance characteristics for the finished product. A PVC calender is rather like an industrial scale mangle that converts PVC resin, additives and pigments into thin gauge sheet using heated rollers. To produce a pressed sheet of the correct gauge, multiple layers of the intermediate film are laid by hand between metal surfacing plates.
