3. Transparent Low Temperature Plastic Soft Door Curtain For Industrial Cold Storage
Transparent Low Temperature Plastic Soft Door Curtain For Industrial Cold Storage is engineered with advanced cold-resistant PVC compounds, making it a preferred solution for extreme temperature control in cold rooms, blast freezers, and cold chain logistics. Its robust construction, validated by ISO and FDA certifications, ensures high performance even at -45°C.
High transparency and clarity for safety & supervision.
Superior flexibility (Shore A hardness ~62 +/-2, extends over 300% before break).
All processes meet ISO 9001 for Quality Assurance and EN 13501 for fire resistance.
Typical yield rate for cold resistant series exceeds 98.1% (2023 in-plant data).
CNC-controlled cutting ensures tolerance <0.35mm (critical for precise overlap sealing).
Every batch tested under -35°C 168h cold bending and tensile testing before shipment.
5. Application Scenarios & Technical Advantages
pvc strip curtains are utilized in dozens of environments where thermal insulation, humidity & particle control, and operational efficiency are mission-critical. They outclass rigid doors in:
Industrial Cold Storage Rooms & Walk-in Freezers (temperature separation, energy savings up to 40% compared to open doors)
Food Processing Lines and Packing Rooms (FDA-grade hygiene, easily removable for cleaning)
Pharmaceutical Warehouses & Cleanrooms (ISO cleanroom compatibility, disinfectant-resistant)
Chemical & Metallurgy Plants (chemical resistant, anti-corrosive, protects against acid/alkali fumes)
Shipping & Receiving Docks (limits air exchange but maintains smooth workflow)
Retail and Supermarket Cold Chain Areas (staff/customer safe separation, clear vision)
Water Treatment and Utility Facilities (humidity partition, splash and odor control)
Energy Savings of pvc strip curtains vs. Conventional Doors
6. Manufacturer Comparison: How Does LF WANMAO Stand Out?
When selecting pvc strip curtains, partnering with an established, certified manufacturer is paramount. Here’s a cross-section comparison with other global leading suppliers (2024 data):
Case 1: Multinational Food Logistics – Shanghai Cold Chain Hub Scenario: 2000m² freezer, three distinct temp zones. Staff and electric forklifts enter/exit over 400 times per day. Solution: Installed transparent low temperature pvc strip curtains (3mm × 300mm, B1 flame retardant, overlapping 65mm).
Results:
Power consumption dropped by 27% compared to swing doors.
Product contamination rate fell from 1.2% to 0.2% (ISO 22196 test).
ROI <10 months due to energy and labor savings.
Staff reported higher comfort and reduced fogging issues on opening.
Case 2: Pharmaceutical Logistics – European Automatic Warehouse Scenario: Temperature difference 42°C between cold room and corridor; require full EU traceability. Solution: Customized plastic strip curtains (anti-static, REACH/FDA/ISO 9001 certified, easy-clean).

9. FAQ: Professional FAQ on pvc strip curtains Specifications & Usage
Q1: What is the main composition of industrial pvc strip curtains? A1: The main component is high-purity polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin blended with cold-resistant plasticizers, UV stabilizers, anti-microbial or anti-static agents as required for the application; all food-contact grades use FDA-compliant additives.
Q2: What strip thicknesses are most commonly used? A2: The most common are 2mm and 3mm. 2mm suits pedestrian/light trolley traffic; 3mm is ideal for heavy machinery entries, maximizing impact resistance. Custom thickness (up to 4mm) available for safety or industrial heavy-duty needs.
Q3: Which certifications should pvc strip curtains comply with? A3: ISO 9001 (Quality Management), FDA (food hygiene), EN 13501 (fire safety), and REACH (chemical safety). Cleanroom applications may require ISO 14644, while some export markets stipulate RoHS and CE marking.
Q4: How are they installed for reliable partitioning? A4: Using stainless steel, aluminum, or reinforced plastic hanging rails (hook-on or bolt-on), with overlap zones from 40~80mm depending on airflow/wind speed. Quick-release systems enable fast strip removal for cleaning or replacement.
Q5: What is the standard service life and maintenance frequency? A5: Service life of quality products exceeds 5 years in typical freezer operations. Clean regularly with neutral detergent. Inspect for tears every 6 months, strip replacement is rapid and inexpensive.
Q6: Are pvc strip curtains recyclable? A6: Yes, post-use PVC curtain strips can be collected and recycled, typically into non-critical industrial plastics. Confirm with your local industrial recycler for best practices.
