PVC free coated fabric is relative to PVC coated fabric. PVC coated fabric is made of a piece of polyester scrim in between PVC coating from two sides. While PVC free coated fabric is made of 100% polyester, it is a material type that is more friendly to the environment.
What are the differences and similarities between PVC and PVC free?
PVC or polyvinyl chloride is a thermoplastic that is comprised of 57% chlorine and 43% carbon. It has turned into the third-most widely used plastic in the world.
Similarity
Both PVC coated fabrics and PVC free coated fabric are commonly used for architectural applications and textiles production.
Differences
The two differ mainly in terms of composition and recyclability.
1. PVC coated fabrics or vinyl coated polyester can be made through coated process or knife coated process with liquid PVC coated on two sides of the scrim. While PVC free coated fabric is not the typical vinyl fabric, it is free from PVC components.
2. In terms of recyclability, the PVC-free coated fabric is more secure for the maker, user, and the environment.
