Flexible PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) sheets are a highly adaptable material used across industries due to their durability, elasticity, and resistance to chemicals and weather. Unlike rigid PVC, flexible sheets offer softness and bendability, making them ideal for a range of protective, sealing, and covering applications.


Key Features of Flexible PVC Sheets

  1. Flexible and Elastic
    Soft, bendable, and resilient—can be rolled, wrapped, or shaped easily.

  2. Durable and Tear-Resistant
    Offers long-term strength and puncture resistance even under stress.

  3. Waterproof and Chemical-Resistant
    Excellent barrier against moisture, oils, grease, acids, and alkalis.

  4. Temperature Resistance
    Performs well in a wide temperature range; available in cold- and heat-resistant grades.

  5. UV and Flame Resistance (optional)
    Some types come with added UV stabilization or fire-retardant properties.

  6. Transparent or Colored
    Comes in clear, tinted, or fully opaque versions to meet different visual or functional needs.

How to Cut Flexible PVC Sheets

Cutting flexible PVC sheets is relatively easy due to their softness:

Scissors or Utility Knife

  • For thin sheets (under 3mm), heavy-duty scissors or a box cutter works well.

Rotary Cutter or Hot Knife

  • For precision cutting or to seal edges while cutting (especially on soft rolls).

Die-Cutting / CNC Plotter

  • For large-scale production or detailed shapes, especially in packaging and manufacturing.

Laser Cutting (with care)

  • Possible, but must be done with good ventilation due to fumes; not always recommended.
