About low temp PVC

Extruflex's Polar PVC range (sometimes referred to as low-temperature PVC) can endure extremely cold temperatures, without becoming brittle or hard, preventing the PVC from breaking or tearing easily.

They are also less likely to roll up at the bottoms in colder temperatures.

Polar PVC maintains its flexibility and resistance to breaking and cracking and can be used both inside and outside where temperatures range from -25°C to +30°C and Super Polar -60°C to +15°C.

Polar PVC is the ideal solution for businesses working in refrigeration, cooling or offer applications used in extreme cold environments.

Why Choose Polar PVC for Your Project?

Polar PVC is commonly used in low-temperature environments because of its very high insulating power and ability to resist the negative effects that other ranges of PVC might experience in such cold temperatures.

The PVC stays flexible and resists breaking and cracking whether it be an inside or outside application where temperatures may vary wildly throughout the year.

Common applications

Cold storage
Restaurants
Dairy chillers
Refrigerated trucks
Grocery store
Storage rooms
Partitions used in cooling rooms

Perfect for Cold Storage

Polar PVC is the ideal solution for businesses working in refrigeration and cooling.

Polar PVC is often used as strip curtains to act as a barrier in doorways, preventing the cold from escaping the freezer or cold room. This saves energy by keeping in the cold, while also keeping perishables fresher for longer.

Polar PVC has been manufactured to allow for the PVC to maintain its durability and flexibility and prevent the PVC from becoming brittle and cracking even when in extremely cold temperatures. They are also less likely to roll up at the bottoms in colder temperatures.

Polar PVC strips and panels maintain their flexibility and resistance to breaking and cracking in applications both inside and outside where temperatures can drop rapidly in winter months.

Keep the Cold In or Out

Polar PVC strip curtains or partitions allow traffic to pass through while still keeping the temperature consistent within the room.

PVC strip curtains always fall back, and close the gaps, after someone passes through them. This ensures that no airflow occurs and thus acts as an insulating barrier within the doorway.

This keeps the freezer or cold room cold and at a consistent temperature, even when frequent traffic passes through the doorway.

PVC strip curtains can also keep the cold out in really cold areas, thus keeping the warmth in, and thus lowering energy costs for heating or cooling

Has All the Other Great Benefits of Extruflex PVC

Flexible PVC has a variety of benefits and uses. It provides great insulation, keeping out the cold weather, and allowing you to save on your energy bills. When used as strip curtains they also allow for fast-flowing pedestrian or light-vehicle traffic to pass through doorways easily and quickly, while still protecting the indoors from the external weather conditions.

All Extruflex PVC is the highest quality PVC available on the market, having the best durability, flexibility, and resistance to impact and chemicals.

All Extruflex PVC is also 100% recyclable and non-phthalate! This means that they are safer for you to use and better for the planet.

Keeps Employees Warm

In addition to all the great benefits that come with flexible PVC, Polar PVC has the added benefit of resisting really cold temperatures, keeping its softness, flexibility and durability even when exposed to extremely cold temperatures.

This is especially important in workplaces where the outside temperature can be cold and can be exposed to rain and wind.

Polar strip curtains and partitions can keep these extreme weather conditions out of the workplace, protecting workers and keeping heating bills down. This ensures that your workforce is comfortable, even in the colder months.

This is especially useful in warehouses or logistics warehouses where the doorways need to stay open to allow traffic and goods to pass through frequently.

PVC strip curtains can be installed to act as a barrier to keep the warmth in but still allow traffic to flow through the doorway freely and without issue.
