Vinyl is a versatile plastic material known for its flexibility, durability and wide range of uses in both technical and visual applications. It is frequently used for signage, lettering and protective layers.
Vinyl is a synthetic polyvinyl chloride (PVC) based polymer that is used for flexible and durable applications.
Vinyl, generally based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC), is a thermoplastic material that can be adjusted in hardness and flexibility by adding plasticizers and stabilizers. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from rigid panels to highly flexible foils.
In the context of visual communication, vinyl is often used in the form of self-adhesive foils for lettering, signalling and vehicle signage. The material offers good adhesion to various surfaces and is resistant to external influences such as moisture and UV radiation, depending on the quality and finish.
Vinyl can also be cut, printed or laminated, making it particularly suitable for custom solutions in branding and industrial applications.
