In recent times the term PVC STRIP CURTAINS, OK may be three terms has gained much importance. Most of us would have come across it, might have seen it, yet we don’t know what is it. I will try my best to provide my expertise on PVC strip curtains here.
PVC – Poly Vinyl Chloride is the third most highly produced plastic. Most of the worlds PVC is produced from Petro-chemical product called Ethylene. Plastic is widely used because they are stronger, durable, resistant against chemicals and their flame retardant properties. Plastic can take hundreds of years to decompose and because of this there is much uproar against using plastic products as its considered to be detrimental to global environment, but the truth is, world as of today cannot manage without it.
In recent years plastic has found new areas of utilization and the most hated enemy has turned into a lovable friend. In fact plastic has gained more importance in protecting the environment, maintaining cleaner and safer work zones. Surprising isn’t it?. Plastic(PVC) the final product is usually rigid and stronger, but its physical properties can be altered with agents like plasticisers that increase the elasticity, stabilizers that protect them from heat and UV rays, flame retardants and impact modifiers for durability.
This altered plastic has taken a new face and name called PVC Strip Curtains, where plastic is made into thin rollable sheets and strips which is widely used in areas where cleaner, safer, hygienic, and organized workspace is necessary. Strip Curtains often referred to as strip doors are made out of flexible transparent overlapping thin pvc sheets placed at the open doorways, which eases the movement of vehicles and human traffic, and at the same time acts as a barrier protecting the controlled environment from temperature loss, insects and pollutants. They also reduce the “wind tunnel” effect caused due to opening and closing doors.
Types of PVC Strip Curtains.
Clear / Transparent PVC Strip Curtains:
This type of Curtain provide high visibility which is usually required in areas like loading and unloading areas in warehouses.
Anti Static PVC Strip Curtain:
They are used to protect fragile electronic components from Electro Static Discharge – which is caused by rapid transfer of electrostatic charge between two objects. Anti static curtains acts as conducting surface, thus preventing serious damages to semiconductors and integrated circuits.
Insect – Amber PVC Strip Curtains
This type of curtain cuts the light and prevents insects, which is usually attracted by light source. Food processing industries use these type of strip curtains to prevent insects from entering the food processing and storage unit.
Cold Storage Curtains
Also called as Polar grade curtains are usually made to withstand low temperature conditions within cold rooms and freezers They protect from temperature loss thus enhancing the energy efficiency which is usually not the case with traditional doors, where there will be loss of temperature by opening and closing the doors.
Ribbed PVC Strip Curtains.
These curtains are produced with raised ribs within the pvc sheets, which makes them durable and lasts longer, withstanding heavy impact in areas where heavy machineries like fork lifts, trucks pass through.
Welding Curtains
This is highly used in mechanical, automotive plants where welding is carried out. This curtains prevent from UV rays, welding sparks and metal fragments.
Plastic (PVC) will certainly hold an ever lasting place on earth in serving the basic needs of humans to protecting the whole earth if we have properly identified its usage. So here is my question – Is plastic the new green?. I hope so.
