Which technical coatings are best suited for protecting PVC film and liner production equipment?
Sofiplast provides non-stick and anti-corrosion coatings for equipment used in the production of PVC films, liners, and flexible plastic materials, including rollers, heated cylinders, guides, and conveying systems. These technical solutions help reduce molten material buildup, limit adhesion, protect against corrosion, and improve the durability and consistency of extrusion and cutting processes.
In PVC film, liner, and flexible plastic processing operations, equipment is exposed to demanding production conditions involving elevated temperatures, mechanical stress, and the accumulation of molten materials and residues. Contact surfaces such as rollers, heated cylinders, guides, and conveyors progressively accumulate deposits that generate adhesion, wear, and process inconsistencies during extrusion and cutting operations.
Without suitable protection, these operating conditions directly affect finished product quality, production efficiency, and equipment lifespan.

Technical coatings and non-stick solutions for PVC film and liner production equipment
In the production of PVC films, liners, and plastic membranes, equipment surfaces, particularly rollers, heating plates, and cutting blades, are continuously exposed to molten or semi-viscous materials. These substances tend to adhere to surfaces, causing buildup, production slowdowns, and defects on finished products.
To reduce these issues, Sofiplast applies high-performance non-stick coatings such as:
- Fluoropolymer coatings including FEP and PFA (Teflon®, Xylan®)
These treatments create a smooth, non-stick protective barrier that prevents plastic materials from permanently adhering to equipment surfaces.
Technical coatings and anti-corrosion solutions for PVC film and liner production equipment
In the production of PVC films, liners, and plastic materials, equipment is frequently exposed to harsh operating conditions including elevated temperatures, constant humidity, and chemical residues generated by formulations or cleaning agents. These conditions accelerate corrosion, particularly on unprotected metallic surfaces, affecting equipment reliability and finished product quality.
To prevent this degradation, Sofiplast offers high-performance anti-corrosion coatings such as:
- Fluoropolymer coatings including PFA (Teflon®, Xylan®) and HALAR® (ECTFE)
These solutions create a highly resistant chemical barrier capable of withstanding demanding industrial environments while extending the lifespan of treated surfaces. They help preserve equipment integrity, reduce maintenance requirements, and improve process reliability, even under severe operating conditions.
Our eco-friendly stripping processes
Optimize the durability of your PVC film and liner production equipment with Sofiplast surface treatment solutions. Our technical coatings are designed to reduce molten material adhesion, minimize abrasion caused by repeated friction, and protect surfaces against chemical corrosion.
In addition, we implement an eco-friendly stripping process based on biodegradable and reusable plant-based media such as wheat starch, corn, and fruit shells. This gentle and non-abrasive method, particularly well suited to sensitive equipment, ensures optimal surface preparation before coating application without damaging substrates or relying on aggressive abrasive or chemical techniques.
