• What is the difference between Monomeric, Polymeric and Cast vinyl?

Answer -  the names given to the two types of calendered vinyl. ?Mono-? means one, ? (1 direction Flat surfaces) poly-? means many (Can go round curved surface) and ?-meric? means body or unit.

Monomeric and Polymeric describe the type of plasticiser used to create the finished vinyl.

Calendered vinyls are manufactured differently using a rolling process, which is more stressful and results in less dimensional stability of the material.

Cast vinyl is not a calendered vinyl (but uses the same plasticiser as a polymeric vinyl) and the differing manufacturing process for cast creates a more stable and durable vinyl.
