PET, UV, PP film? Understanding them makes renovation easier!

2025-10-03

Many families face frustrations during renovations: not understanding the materials, choosing the right colors, or even knowing the technical terms... For example: UV film? PET film? PP film? Have you heard of any of these?

If you are currently renovating or planning to renovate and you don’t know what these three words mean, then you should pay attention! The three different words represent three different finishing materials, and the corresponding product properties are also different.

Today, Zhoubao will help you understand the meaning of this and help you avoid making mistakes when choosing materials for decoration!

01. What is “UV”?

When it comes to UV rays, internet users often think of visitor volume, while those who prioritize sun protection often think of ultraviolet rays. However, in the building materials and home furnishing industry, UV film is a coating that can upgrade sheet materials. UV-treated and protected sheets offer a variety of colors, a long lifespan, and are wear-resistant, easy to clean, and resist discoloration.

Furniture UV ecological board

The recently launched furniture UV ecological board uses an environmentally friendly base material, selects colored triamine paper for pressing, and then undergoes UV light curing process to add a layer of protective film to the surface of the ecological board.

02. What is “PET”?

Please note that the PET here is not pet (pet picture). PET film is a new environmentally friendly polymer material, often used in food and beverage packaging. It has excellent optical properties and film-forming properties, is healthy and safe, and is widely used in various fields.

PET platinum crystal plate

PET platinum crystal board uses formaldehyde-free, high-strength board as the base material and is pressed with imported PET flat film. It has the characteristics of high environmental protection, non-fading, high strength and easy cleaning. It can be used in cabinets, wardrobe door panels, wall panels and other products.

03. What is “PP”?

PP film is polypropylene film, a thermoplastic resin made by polymerizing propylene. It is typically thicker, tougher, and has high tensile strength. For sheet materials, using PP film can improve the heat resistance and extend the life of the sheet. In home decoration, PP film is widely favored for its lightweight, electrical insulation, and non-toxic properties.

04. How to choose among the three materials?

Different materials and finishes, all equally healthy and environmentally friendly. For living room decor, we recommend UV eco-friendly furniture panels. For wardrobes, balcony cabinets, and wall panels, we recommend PET platinum panels, which better reflect the quality of your home decor. For areas like the kitchen where heat resistance is a concern, PP film-finished panels are also a good choice! Whether it's UV film, PET film, or PP film, choose the right one based on your needs during renovation!

Okay, that’s the end of Zhoubao’s class. See you next time!
