What Problems Does Polargrade PVC Solve?

Standard PVC performs well in ambient and chilled environments but can become increasingly stiff as temperatures fall below freezing.

This can lead to:

  • Reduced curtain flexibility
  • Cracking and premature wear
  • Poor sealing performance
  • Increased cold air loss
  • Higher refrigeration costs
  • Difficult movement through curtains

 

Polargrade PVC is specially formulated for sub-zero environments, helping maintain flexibility and performance where standard PVC would struggle.

The result is a more effective freezer curtain that lasts longer and performs better in cold storage conditions.

 

Why Choose Polargrade PVC?

Polargrade PVC contains additional plasticisers within its formulation that help the material remain flexible at low temperatures.

Benefits include:

  • Improved flexibility in freezer environments
  • Better energy efficiency
  • Reduced risk of cracking
  • Easier movement for staff and equipment
  • Improved curtain performance
  • Longer service life in cold conditions

 

The material also features a slightly different tint, allowing it to be distinguished from standard clear PVC while still maintaining excellent visibility and light transmission.

 

Important: Only Use Polargrade in Cold Environments

Polargrade PVC should only be used in freezer and sub-zero applications.

In warmer environments, the additional plasticisers can make the material feel slightly sticky, making curtains more difficult to pass through.

For ambient and chilled areas above freezing temperatures, standard clear PVC is normally the better choice.
