✅ Why is PVC Interior Impact Resistant?

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) interiors are impact resistant because of a combination of their material properties and structural design:

1. Tough and Flexible Material

• PVC is not brittle like some plastics or wood-based materials.

• It has inherent flexibility, which means it can bend slightly under force without cracking.

• This flexibility allows it to absorb and spread out the force of an impact.

2. Additives Enhance Strength

• During manufacturing, impact modifiers (like CPE or MBS) are added to PVC.

• These additives increase toughness and help prevent breaking or chipping when hit.

3. Multi-Layer Construction (Co-extrusion)

• Many PVC interior panels use a hard outer layer and a softer inner core.

• The outer layer resists scratches, while the core helps absorb impact energy.

4. Foamed or Cellular Structure

• Some PVC boards have a foamed interior, which is lighter and better at absorbing shocks.

• This structure works like a cushion against impacts.

5. Temperature Stability

• PVC performs well at room temperature—it stays flexible and strong instead of becoming brittle.

• This helps it maintain durability in real-world indoor conditions.

🔍 Summary:

PVC interiors resist impact because they are:

• Flexible

• Reinforced with additives

• Designed with shock-absorbing layers

• Resilient under everyday use
  
  

This makes PVC a safe, durable, and low-maintenance choice for homes, offices, and commercial interiors.
