With the exception of rigid-PVC with 1.0 mm thickness, the PVC films have no protective film covering. The sheets will tend to attract dust particles because of their static charge and this can lead to scratching especially when custom cut. It should also be noted that the transparent films are not completely free of striations and on larger surfaces this fact becomes more and more obvious. The films are mostly used for making displays and signs and the like. They are also very good for representing transparent and translucent areas in architectural model making. PVC films are not suitable for framing photos or other valuable objects because with time the material will react with and corrode them. Possible alternatives include acrylic glass, polycarbonate sheets or real glass. The sheets can, however, be used as short-term protective covering for brochures or the like. The PVC on offer can be cut with a blade or a scissors.
Rigid-PVC with the anti-reflex surface has one side of it lightly grained so that, when used as a covering or framing glass, distracting reflections are avoided. The plastic is transparent as long as its glossy side lies directly on its target material (contact transparency). As soon as it is lifted away from the background, however, this transparency diminishes. This attribute meant that this PVC was predestined to only being used in model making when an unclear view of any interior spaces was desirable.
