PVC-laminated steel, also known asPVC-laminated steel, VCM sheet(Vinyl-coated metal sheet), orPVC-coated steelis a high-performance composite material that combines the benefits of metal and polymer. It is manufactured by bonding a premium PVC (polyvinyl chloride) film to a metal substrate—typically cold-rolled steel, galvanized steel, aluminum alloy, or stainless steel—using a professional high-temperature, high-pressure lamination process.
PVC Laminated Steel Sheet(also known as PVC film-coated steel, VCM sheet, or PVC-coated steel) is a high-performance composite material. It is produced by bonding premium-quality PVC (polyvinyl chloride) film to a metal substrate—typically cold-rolled steel, galvanized steel, aluminum alloy, or stainless steel—using a specialized high-temperature and high-pressure lamination process. This integrates the advantages of both metal and polymer materials.
