In the field of car personalization and protection, color wrap films are becoming more and more popular among car owners as a fashionable and practical solution. In the current market, the mainstream color wrap film materials mainly include PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PET and TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane). This article will analyze the characteristics of these three materials in detail, and especially introduce the unique charm of HERZI TPU color wrap film.
PVC color wrap film
It is the most common type on the market, and its main material is polyvinyl chloride. PVC color wrap film is rich in colors and relatively low in price, which is very suitable for car owners with limited budgets and who pursue short-term color changes. However, PVC color wrap film also has some disadvantages, such as easy fading, glue loss, cracking, etc. These problems are particularly obvious during long-term use, especially after being exposed to wind and sun, the quality of the film will gradually decline, and problems such as cracking, scratches and orange peel will appear.
The main structure of PVC color wrap film includes PVC film, color layer, adhesive layer and PET protective film or base paper. Among them, the distribution of PVC film and color layer is closely related to the preparation process. Common processes include calendering and casting. The calendering grade PVC color wrap film is similar to the preparation process of invisible car cover, while the casting grade is a mixture of PVC and pigment, which has better color stability and installation effect.
PET color wrap film
Although there are claims about PET color wrap film in the market, the term “PET” actually refers more to the material used in the backing paper or release film, rather than the film itself. PET backing paper offers excellent finish and strength, which helps the film remain smoother during the lamination process and reduces the chances of bubbles, ultimately improving the overall effect. Wraps with PET backing paper, such as those from high-end brands, tend to have better appearance and durability.
However, it is important to note that PET as the actual film material is quite rare in the market. If such products exist, they may offer better quality than PVC due to superior physical properties, but factors like cost and limited popularity may restrict their widespread use.
TPU color wrap film
TPU color wrap film has become the first choice of more and more car owners for its excellent weather resistance, wear resistance, water resistance and UV resistance. TPU is a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer widely used in automotive parts, shoe materials, films and other fields. In the field of automotive films, TPU color wrap film is not only colorful and rich and diverse, but also provides comprehensive protection and personalized decorative effects for the car body without changing the original paint surface of the vehicle.
As a leader in this field, HIGHCOOL color wrap film is made of advanced polymer materials and has excellent weather resistance, scratch resistance and stretchability. Its color can be customized, and the color difference is small, which can meet the car owner’s demand for personalization. At the same time, HIGHCOOL color wrap film fits the car body tightly, effectively preventing external factors from damaging the original car paint, such as ultraviolet rays, acid rain, bird droppings, etc. When the vehicle is slightly scratched, the color wrap film can also play a buffering role to protect the original car paint from damage.

When a car owner wishes to change the color or restore the original paint, the wrap can be easily removed without causing any harm to the vehicle. It’s an ideal option for long-term paint protection.
In summary, PVC, PET, and TPU wraps each have unique characteristics. PVC wraps offer a wide range of colors but are prone to fading; PET wraps improve the material of the base paper, though few products use PET as the actual film; and TPU wraps have become the preferred choice for many car owners due to their excellent performance and long-term durability. Among the best options, HIGHCOOL wraps are widely recognized for personalized customization, protection of original paint, easy installation and removal, and long-lasting durability. When choosing a wrap, car owners should weigh various factors based on their needs and budget to make the most suitable choice
