In addition to our Clear PVC Vinyl, Imitation Leather, Laminates, and Extruded PVC Strip and Sheet, Adams Plastics distributes specialty PVC products made for specific jobs and unique applications, including Taffeta Emboss vinyl, Weld Screen PVC, and Opaque PVC film. Below you’ll find our current specialty PVC film offerings, along with the sizing and color options ready to ship to your location.
Taffeta Emboss: Textured PVC
Taffeta Emboss is a textured PVC film. It features a fabric-like surface pattern pressed into it during production, which gives the material a woven appearance and a different feel than smooth PVC. This embossed vinyl film is a common material choice for upholstery backing applications, as well as book covers and other applications that require a soft texture similar to a cloth. It is also used across a range of medical products and devices in the healthcare industry that require the performance characteristics of PVC, but with a textured finish.
| THICKNESS | WIDTH | COLORS | ROLL LENGTH | ROLL WEIGHT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .0055″ | 54″ | Clear | 220 yd | 100 lbs |
| .008″ | 54″ | Black, White, Clear | 200 yd | 140 lbs |
Weld Screen and Weld Curtain Material
Welding screen is a flexible PVC barrier designed to contain sparks and flash around welding operations. Unlike our clear vinyl curtain and strip products, weld screen is engineered specifically to hold up to the heat and UV exposure that welding work generates without breaking down.
| THICKNESS | WIDTH | COLORS | ROLL LENGTH | ROLL WEIGHT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| .014″ | 64″ | Orange, Blue, Yellow, Gray, Clear | 100 yd | 150 lbs |
Opaque PVC Film
Opaque PVC film blocks light and sightlines entirely, which sets it apart from the clear and tinted vinyl in our core product line. We carry two finishes under this category. Opaque Crush Emboss has a crushed, textured surface, while our High Gloss/Shiny Patent option gives a smooth, reflective finish closer to a patent leather look. Both are sold in black or white.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is taffeta emboss used for?
Taffeta emboss is most often used as a backing or covering material where a fabric-like texture is preferred over smooth vinyl. Upholsterers use it for the underside of seating. It’s also used for books and case covers that need a cloth appearance without using actual fabric.
Is welding screen the same as a welding curtain?
Welding screen is the raw material a welding curtain is made from. Fabricators cut and hem the screen into curtains, strip doors, or standalone panels, and the color you choose (orange, blue, yellow, gray, or clear) affects how much glare reduction versus visibility the finished curtain provides.
What thickness should I choose for welding screen?
Our welding screen ships at a single standard gauge: .014″ at 64″ wide. That thickness is manufactured to hold up to sustained heat and UV exposure from welding work.
