Summary:A three-layered PVC sheet consisting of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and woven polyester fabric was prepared by extrusion and calendering. The flexibility and durability of the PVC were tuned by adding plasticizers, additives, and surface coatings. The tensile and tear strengths of the three-layered PVC sheet were higher than those of commercial two-layered sheet, while exhibiting low weight. The concentrations of the total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) and formaldehyde (HCHO) emitted from the sheet were also lowered. The PVC sheet remained stable after prolonged exposure to UV light, signifying that the PVC sheet is suitable for cargo screen applications.
