It’s crucial to carefully examine the type of vinyl you’ll require before beginning your next application. When picking the best vinyl, it is important to decide what you will be sticking to, whether it will be indoors or outside, and how long you will need it. Although vinyl is a flexible material, some types are better suited to particular uses; use this straightforward guide to determine which is right for you.

The white gloss, 100 micron calendered vinyl is perfect for window decorating, point-of-purchase advertising, and indoor and temporary outdoor signs.

This vinyl contains a 140gsm liner and a clear pressure-sensitive adhesive made of acrylic. Graphics can be removed temporarily with little residue even though the glue is permanent.

Overlamination with VistaMAX Monomeric Matt or Gloss Lamination Film (60mic) is advised to safeguard graphics and improve colours.

The distinction between cast vinyl and calendared 

The terms “calendared” and “cast” describe the method by which the vinyl was produced. The casting method is used to create conformable cast vinyl, while the calendaring technique is typically utilised for monomeric and polymeric vinyl.

 

Cast Vinyl’s

Cast vinyls are made by pouring liquid PVC onto a casting sheet and baking it in an oven to create the cast face film. Cast vinyl is utilised for intricate applications like car wrapping because it is more conformable and significantly thinner than calendered vinyl. Cast vinyl is normally 10 years old and is softer, more flexible, and thinner than calendared vinyl, which has a lifespan of 3 to 7 years. Overall, cast vinyl has advantages over calendared vinyl but is more expensive.

 

Calendared Vinyl’s

PVC is melted with colourant and plasticizer to create calendared vinyl, which softens and makes usable film. It is then removed through calendaring rollers as it cools, giving the film its final width, thickness, and surface quality.

 

The importance of plasticiser

A plasticizer is a chemical that is added to the calendared process to promote flexibility and lessen brittleness in PVC. Migration is the main issue with plasticizer. A plasticizer that doesn’t change from its initial state won’t crack, split, have poor ink adhesions, or be incompatible with digital printing. This implies that the more time the plasticizer spends on your product, the longer it will last.

 

Monomeric V Polymeric

 

Monomeric and polymeric calendared films are the two varieties that are now offered. The two terms, mono, which means one, and poly, which means many, are used to identify the kinds of plasticisers that are used to produce flexible final vinyl.

 

Monomeric Vinyl

The plasticizers employed in monomeric films are short-chain and have a poor affinity for film. This indicates that the plasticizer has a propensity to migrate out of the film, rendering it rigid and brittle. These films typically range in thickness from 70 to 80 microns and have a propensity to contract. These films work best in applications that are flat and smooth and don’t require any bending. They are better suited for interior uses or certain short-term external applications due to their limited outside durability. Stickers, displays, and promotional signage are frequently used.

 

Make sure you choose the finest option for you by deciding where your sign will be placed, what it will be used for, and its desired duration.

What is monomeric calendered vinyl? 

Calendered vinyl can be “monomeric” or “polymeric,” depending on the molecular makeup of the plasticizer. Since “monomeric” vinyls use plasticizers with smaller molecule sizes than polymeric vinyls do, there is more molecular migration, which will have a greater impact on the adhesive and laminates used.

 

What is monomeric vinyl used for?

These films work best in applications that are flat and smooth and don’t require any bending. They are better suited for interior uses or certain short-term external applications due to their limited outside durability. Common applications include exhibitions, stickers, and promotional signage.

 

What is calendered PVC? 

Calendering is a specialised method used to produce high-volume, high-quality plastic sheets and film, primarily made of PVC and other modified thermoplastics. In an extruder, the melted polymer is heated and compressed before being calendered by rollers into sheets or films.

 

What is better cast or calendered vinyl? 

Cast film is ideal for long-term applications like vehicle graphics and durable signs since it is more resistant to weather harm and solar energy. Calendared film has the propensity to contract with time, making it less weatherproof.

 

Does monomeric vinyl shrink? 

Monomeric film also has different thicknesses. It has a propensity to shrink and can range in thickness from 3 to 4 Mils (70 to 80 microns). These films have a 3 to 5 year outdoor durability, making them ideal for flat inside applications.
