What thickness options are available for PVC edge banding? +
GONGDA offers PVC edge banding in thicknesses from 0.4mm to 3.0mm. Standard thicknesses include 0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, and 3.0mm. Thinner profiles (0.4-0.6mm) suit budget furniture; thicker options (1.5-3.0mm) are ideal for premium kitchens and commercial projects.
Can I get custom colors and patterns? +
Yes, GONGDA offers custom color matching and pattern development with a minimum order of 500m² per design. We provide Pantone matching, physical sample matching, and custom embossing options. Lead times are typically 7-14 days for sample approval and 15-30 days for production.
What certifications do your PVC films meet? +
Our PVC decorative films meet REACH, RoHS, CARB Phase 2, and ISO 9001 standards. Water-based inks are used as standard across all product lines. Test reports for formaldehyde emission (EN 717-1), heavy metal migration (EN 71-3), and VOC content (ISO 16000-6) are available with every shipment.
What is the difference between soft touch and matte PVC film? +
Soft touch PVC film has a specialized elastomeric topcoat that creates a velvety, rubber-like feel (Shore D 40-60). Standard matte film has a low-gloss finish (5-15 GU) but lacks the cushioned tactile sensation. Both offer similar durability; soft touch is primarily a premium aesthetic upgrade.
How long does PVC decorative film last? +
Quality PVC decorative film from GONGDA typically lasts 10-15 years in indoor applications with normal use. Soft touch finishes may gradually lose their tactile feel after 5-7 years of heavy use, but the visual appearance remains intact. UV-stabilized films maintain color stability for 3-5 years in direct sunlight.
