Fatra is a long-term manufacturer of plasticised PVC foils, produced by rolling from a mixture of polyvinylchloride, plasticisers, stabilisers and other admixtures. We produce transparent and coloured PVC-P foils varying in hardness and in a wide range of structures. The material can be finalised by lamination, printing and HF welding.
On request, “REACH Declaration” can be supplied for all foil types.
PVC (polyvinylchloride) is a universal, proven, and reliable material. It was developed in the thirties of the 20th century as one of the first synthetic materials – plastics. It is a material well workable using various technologies, e.g. rolling, extrusion, depositing, or casting, therefore it is predestined for wide range of applications.
PVC has a unique combination of features, which can be further modified in various ways using processing additives. PVC is usually classified into softened - called most frequently PVC-P, ands hard - called PVC-U. Polyvinylchloride ranks among materials that can be recycled well and reused in the manufacture of products. Recyclable PVC is marked PVC-R. In general, products from PVC are called vinyl products.
PVC-P is suitable especially for applications where flexibility and elasticity are essential. Main fields of softened PVC’s application include:
Subjects of common use – raincoats, inflatable toys, table cloths, janitorial gloves.
Building industry – insulation foils, e.g. swimming pool insulation, ground and roof insulation, green roofs, flooring of various types in rolls and tiles, soft profiles and baseboards, wallpapers.
Automotive and electrical industry – most commonly cable sheathing.
Health care – blood pocket bags, medical tubes and hoses.
Other industries – promotional items, billboards, packages.
PVC-P features are modified with respect to particular application. Where the appearance is important, the frequent requirement is to achieve the specific colour shade, multi-colour print, or to create a design on the product surface (wood or leather imitation). In technical applications, the most frequent requirements are the long service life and durability. Using the right additives, the service life may reach 10, 15 years, or even more.
The ´recipes´we use at Fatra for producing foil do not contain any phthalate plasticisers – rolls are identified with a white label and marked as NEW. However, this foil is not tested for phthalates and can contain more than 0.1 % of them.
If requested by a customer, a variant foil for products for children of up to three years of age can be produced – rolls are identified with a blue label (denoted with “D“ – after the reference number). This foil is tested for its content of phthalate (max. 0.1 %) and is compliance with EC Directive 1907/2006 (REACH), Annex XVII, clauses 51 and 52.
Custom recipes can be utilized – upon request – so the resultant foil suits customers’ requirements for any special properties they need, e.g. foil that contains phthalate plasticisers, or other components; these rolls are identified with a yellow label.
