12 PVC Films PVC Films are produced by blending PVC resin with appropriate additives, followed by melt processing and film formation using calendering equipment. In the calendering process the PVC mixture is initially melted in the gap between two heated metal cylinders rotating in opposite directions. Further cylinders control the consistency and thickness of the films, which typically range between 0.06 and 1.2 mm. Following the calendering process, a sophisticated range of finishing processes can be applied in-house including coating, laminating and stretching of the films. The finished films are cut to size and either wound onto reels or kept totally flat, depending on the final application requirements. The Films business focuses on manufacturing and supplying rigid films to four major application markets: • Coated and uncoated films for pharmaceutical and medical packaging - such as blister packaging • Magnetic stripes and smart cards - such as bank cards, identity systems and telecommunication cards • Films for applications such as printing and decoration, furniture, office supplies and special technical applications • Food and non-food packaging films EVC operates PVC rigid film plants in Germany and Italy and is the largest producer of films for credit cards in Europe. In addition, EVC holds a majority interest in Caprihans India Limited, the Indian producer of rigid, flexible and extruded films. This venture reinforces EVC’s commercial presence in the region and the neighbouring markets of Asia Pacific. It also strengthens our competitive position in rigid films across the global marketplace. EVC International N.V.
