Tedlar® PVF film was recently selected as a protective material for the interiors of renovation of the largest women and children’s medical center in China. The project started in May 2021 and finished in June 2022. Tedlar® film can be laminated to a variety of substrates. It is an extremely durable, cleanable, stain-proof, and impact resistant material that ensures building interiors look beautiful and new for years of heavy traffic and frequent cleanings. To see how Tedlar® wallcovering perform against standard materials, check out this video.

Chosen for its excellent durability and cleanability, Tedlar® was used in three different ways in the Women & Children’s Hospital – on the interior metal panels, wallcoverings, and wardrobe finishes. This project showcases the wide range of substrates that Tedlar® can be laminated to, thus creating a long-lasting, clean, safe, and beautiful environment:
- Interior walls made of metal, ideal for the humid climate in south China, were laminated with Tedlar® to provide long-lasting protection against corrosion.
- Tedlar® was thermo-formed to the doors of closets, cabinets, and wardrobes in patient rooms. The film was vacuum sealed to PVC and composite wood panels, to ensure the durability and cleanability of the furniture as well as walls.
- Tedlar® was laminated to a wallcovering patterned with wood, textured grass cloth, and other prints to create a colorful yet healing atmosphere for this modern medical space that can stand up to any stain or impact.
Interiors protected with DuPont™ Tedlar® PVF film will maintain a new look in demanding environments, and will last until the building owners want to redecorate. Excellent durability means replacement will not be necessitated, ensuring better budget planning and less labor and material costs over the lifetime of a building.
