DiLON High Gloss PVC Foils | High Glossy Series

Our High Glossy Series delivers mirror-grade high gloss PVC foils (>95° gloss level) engineered for doors, wall panels, and furniture surfaces. Built on a stable PVC base and available across a wide thickness range, this series gives fabricators and panel manufacturers the flexibility to match material specification to processing method — without compromising on surface finish or environmental compliance.

Technical Specifications

Thickness Range 0.18mm – 0.50mm
Standard Width 1250mm / 1400mm
Gloss Level >95°
Protective Film Standard on 0.25mm+ (0.25mm PE film); optional below 0.25mm
Applications Doors, wall panels, furniture
Processing Methods Flat lamination, vacuum forming (thermoforming), wrapping

Understanding the Protective Film Rule

Not every gauge in this series ships with a protective film by default, and that's intentional rather than an inconsistency. Foils at 0.25mm and above are supplied with a 0.25mm-thick transparent protective film as standard, since thicker foils are more likely to be handled, stacked, and transported in ways that risk surface scuffing before installation. For foils below 0.25mm, the protective film is optional and can be added on request — this keeps material cost down for buyers whose downstream process, such as immediate flat lamination, doesn't require extended surface protection. When placing an order, it's worth confirming your handling and storage timeline so we can recommend whether protective film is advisable for your specific gauge.

Matching Thickness to Process and Application

Thickness selection in high gloss PVC foils isn't only about surface feel — it determines which processing method will actually work with the material. The reference below outlines how our standard gauges typically align with fabrication methods and end applications.

Process Typical Thickness Common Application
Flat Lamination 0.18mm – 0.30mm Flat door panels, flat wall panels
Vacuum Forming 0.20mm – 0.40mm Contoured door panels, molded furniture facings
Wrapping 0.30mm – 0.50mm Door frames, furniture edges and profiles

These ranges reflect typical usage and can be adjusted based on your equipment and substrate. If you're unsure which gauge fits your production line, share your process details and we'll recommend a suitable specification.

Compliance & Environmental Standards

The High Glossy Series is formulated without 6P plasticizers and free of the eight restricted heavy metals, meeting RoHS 10-item compliance requirements. The series is also produced to high SVHC compliance standards, addressing the substance-of-very-high-concern requirements commonly required by EU importers and downstream furniture or construction buyers. These credentials are particularly relevant for buyers supplying export markets where environmental documentation is requested during customs clearance or client audits — supporting test reports are available on request.

Product Coding Guide

Item numbers in this series end in -31 (for example, 92129-31BP), identifying the product as belonging to the High Glossy Series regardless of pattern or color. When placing repeat orders or requesting a specific finish, quoting the full code — including the -31 suffix — helps our team confirm the exact gloss specification and avoid mix-ups with matte or textured series carrying similar pattern numbers.

FAQs You May Wanna Know

1. How do you prevent scratches and fingerprints from showing on a high-gloss surface during installation?

High-gloss surfaces show surface marks more readily than matte finishes, which is why gauges of 0.25mm and above ship with protective film as standard. We recommend keeping the film in place until final installation is complete, and handling panels with clean gloves during fabrication to minimize fingerprint transfer.

2. If I order a thin gauge without protective film, will it be more vulnerable during shipping?

Thinner gauges without film can be more sensitive to handling marks, so we recommend requesting protective film for any shipment involving multiple handling stages, long transit times, or export packaging — even if the gauge is below 0.25mm.

3. Which thickness should I choose for wrapping door frames or furniture edges?

Wrapping applications generally call for gauges in the 0.30mm–0.50mm range, as the added thickness provides the durability and coverage needed for edges and profiles subject to repeated contact and wear.

4. Is this series suitable for export to the EU market?

Yes. The series is manufactured without 6P plasticizers, free of the eight restricted heavy metals, and formulated to meet RoHS 10-item and SVHC compliance standards commonly required for EU import documentation.
