As the smart card industry moves toward greener and more sustainable manufacturing, RPVC card materials are becoming an important innovation in secure card production. Ketian's RPVC Coated Overlay is designed to combine environmental responsibility with high-performance lamination reliability for modern smart card applications.

What Is Ketian RPVC Coated Overlay?

Ketian RPVC Coated Overlay is produced from post-consumer recycled PVC materials. The recycled PVC undergoes a strict refinement process including:

Sorting and classification before reuse

Cleaning and impurity separation

Drying and crushing

The processed material is then converted into RPVC base film, followed by coating a specialized hot-melt adhesive layer on the surface. The final product is an eco-friendly laminated film designed for smart card manufacturing.

This sustainable material is widely used in both contact and contactless smart card applications, including:

Banking cards

Transportation cards

Access control cards

Membership and loyalty cards
