We carry a wide selection of transparent PVC film in soft and firm formulations across a range of gauges, widths, and specialty options like UV stabilization, cold-crack resistance to -20°F, fire-retardant, and anti-static. Our clear vinyl film is sold by the roll and available in both standard and large-format roll lengths for high-volume production requirements.

Clear PVC Film Material Overview

Clear PVC vinyl film roll

Clear PVC vinyl film is a transparent plastic material produced from polyvinyl chloride. It is available in a range of thicknesses, or gauges, that determine how rigid or pliable the finished material is. Thinner gauges produce a more flexible film ideal for applications like enclosures, windows, curtains, and similar uses. Heavier gauges produce a firmer sheet with greater dimensional stability, making them excellent for packaging, overlays, and protective covers.

The clarity level of clear PVC vinyl products varies depending on the type of formulation and finish. Standard clear vinyl provides good transparency for most general applications, while our Prime Cristal Clear Vinyl offers enhanced optical clarity for applications that need distortion-free visibility, including marine enclosures and boat windows.

Soft Clear PVC Vinyl

Soft Clear PVC Vinyl is a transparent plasticized vinyl film with high flexibility. Soft clear vinyl film is often used for tent enclosures, UTV windows, hot or cold aisle containment curtains, and other fabricated goods that require a transparent material that is also pliable and strong. Adams Plastics stocks soft clear vinyl in gauges ranging from .006 to .040 x 54″, with standard and premium optical clarity finishes available. Our stock includes:

  • Prime Cristal Clear – General Purpose: Our highest optical clarity soft vinyl. Ideal for data center curtains, cleanroom curtains, and other applications that require premium optical clarity.
  • Prime Cristal Clear – Low Temperature: Features the same optical clarity as the General Purpose style, but with added UV stabilization and cold-crack resistance to -20°F. Often used for marine enclosures, boat windows, and outdoor applications with year-round exposure.
  • Double Polish Clear Soft: Available in standard, dusted, and domestic large-format rolls. The dusted finish resists blocking and handles well in fabrication applications.
  • Soft Clear with Fire Retardant: Used for applications that require clear PVC film with flame-spread ratings. Also UV-stabilized with cold-crack resistance.
  • Matte Clear Soft: Features a low-glare matte finish on one or both sides.

Large-format domestic rolls are available for the Super Double Polish Clear Soft line at 250 and 422 lbs., offering significantly longer continuous yardage per roll for high-volume cutting and fabrication operations.

Firm Clear PVC Vinyl

Firm Clear PVC Vinyl is a less plasticized film with greater stiffness and stability. It is commonly used in applications like packaging, document overlays, book covers, commercial displays, and other applications that require a more rigid transparent plastic sheet. Adams Plastics stocks firm clear vinyl in gauges ranging from .004 to .012 x 54″, across three product families:

  • Double Polish Clear Non-Tack 1H – Light Dust: The light dust finish prevents surfaces from sticking together in roll or sheet form.
  • Double Polish Clear Non-Tack 3H: A stiffer formulation for applications requiring greater rigidity.
  • Matte Clear Firm: Features a non-reflective surface finish.

Specialty Clear Vinyl Products

Beyond our core soft and firm clear PVC film lines, Adams Plastics stocks several additional clear vinyl products:

  • Welding Screen: Available in orange, blue, yellow, gray, and clear.
  • Polish Clear with Pressure Sensitive Adhesive
  • Taffeta Emboss
  • Clear Anti-Static Smooth Strips
