A side-by-side comparison of D1500 PVC-free PP film against traditional PVC film, wallpaper and paint — on emissions, installation, downtime and renovation.
D1500 figures from our released TDS (V1.1). Competing finishes are described qualitatively, based on general industry practice, not tested head-to-head.
| Aspect | D1500 PVC‑Free PP Film | Traditional PVC Film | Wallpaper | Paint / Lacquer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Material base | Polypropylene (PP) â chlorine-free | PVC (contains chlorine) | Paper / non-woven, often PVC-coated | Resin / solvent or water-based |

| Heavy metals (soluble) | 19 items not detected (EN 71‑3) | Stabilizer-dependent | Pigment-dependent | Pigment-dependent |
| VOC emission | French Décret A+ (SGS tested) | Plasticizer & solvent dependent | Adhesive-dependent | Highest during & after application |
| Odor after install | Grade 1 â no odor | Noticeable in fresh rolls | Adhesive smell common | Strong, ventilate for days |
| Installation | Peel & apply; re-liftable; no wet work | Peel & apply | Paste + water, seams visible | Multi-coat, long dust & drying downtime |
| Business downtime | Hours â space stays in use | Hours | 1–2 days typical | Days of ventilation |
| Pattern consistency | ΔE ≤ 1 batch color difference | Batch variation common | Dye-lot variation | Uniform color |
| Removal / renovation | Peels off; substrate stays intact | Adhesive residue possible | Steam / scrape, damages wall | Sand & strip |
| Flame retardancy | Optional; grade confirmed per batch test certificate | Grade varies by product | Grade varies | Depends on system |
