When choosing tablecloth materials, PVC and PU are both common options, and each has its own advantages. So which material is better for tablecloths, PVC or PU? How to choose between the two?
Tablecloths PVC and PU materials each have their own characteristics. Which material to choose depends on personal specific needs and preferences. PVC tablecloths are a new type of tablecloth. Its main raw material is soft polyvinyl chloride plastic, and plasticizers, lubricants, stabilizers, fillers, etc. are added. In essence, it is the same material as PVC cling film. PVC tablecloths have some unique advantages, such as wear resistance, non-slip, and not easy to get oil stains, and the surface is smooth and easy to clean. In addition, PVC tablecloths have a variety of patterns and designs to choose from, with good decorative effects. However, PVC tablecloths have poor heat resistance and generally deform at more than 70 degrees, so they are more suitable for home use as Western-style cold meals.
PU tablecloth is a new polyurethane material with the characteristics of non-toxic, anti-moth, moisture-proof, mildew-proof, acid and alkali resistance, etc. It will not crack or deform due to weather changes and has a long service life. PU tablecloth also has good fire resistance, does not spontaneously combust, does not support combustion, and can automatically extinguish when leaving the fire source. In terms of texture, PU tablecloth is relatively harder, mainly because its manufacturing process is more complicated than PVC material. In addition, PU tablecloth has diversity, generally white as the standard, and can also be matched with colors at will to achieve various special effects.
Therefore, if you value wear resistance, easy cleaning and decorative effects, and the home use scene does not need to withstand high temperatures, then PVC tablecloth may be more suitable for you. If you need the tablecloth to have better heat resistance, fire resistance and longer service life, and have certain requirements for hardness, then PU tablecloth may be a better choice.
