Plastic Rain Curtain
A plastic rain curtain, also known as a plastic strip curtain or PVC strip curtain, is a flexible barrier typically composed of overlapping strips of heavy-duty plastic. These curtains are utilized to isolate areas while maintaining access and visibility.
Material
The primary material is typically Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), though other plastics like polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene may be used depending on the application's requirements. PVC is chosen for its durability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. Additives can be incorporated to modify properties such as UV resistance, anti-static capability, and flame retardancy. Strip thickness varies, commonly ranging from 0.3mm to 0.7mm.
Purpose
The core purpose is environmental control and segregation. Specific uses include:
- Temperature Control: Reducing heat loss or gain in doorways of cold storage facilities, warehouses, and industrial buildings.
- Dust and Insect Control: Preventing the entry of dust, dirt, and insects into cleanrooms, food processing areas, and workshops.
- Noise Reduction: Providing a limited degree of sound dampening.
- Safety: Enhancing visibility while delineating areas and reducing the risk of collisions in high-traffic zones.
- Containment: Isolating processes or areas to prevent the spread of contaminants or fumes.
Function
The curtain functions by allowing personnel and equipment to pass through while the overlapping strips remain relatively closed. The strips’ weight and flexibility create a barrier, minimizing airflow and particle transfer. The overlapping design permits easy passage and self-closing action after movement.
Usage Scenarios
- Industrial Facilities: Warehouses, manufacturing plants, loading docks, and cold storage units.
- Food Processing: Maintaining sanitary conditions in food production and packaging areas.
- Commercial Buildings: Restaurants, supermarkets, and retail stores (e.g., walk-in coolers).
- Agriculture: Greenhouses and livestock facilities.
- Automotive: Spray booths and paint shops.
- Welding: Containing sparks and fumes.
Common Types
- Standard PVC: The most common type, suitable for general-purpose applications.
- Freezer Grade PVC: Formulated to remain flexible at very low temperatures (typically -30°C / -22°F or lower).
- Anti-Static PVC: Dissipates static electricity, crucial in environments with sensitive electronics.
- Welding Grade PVC: Flame-retardant and spark-resistant for welding applications.
- UV Resistant PVC: Designed for outdoor use, protecting against degradation from sunlight.
- Strip Configurations: Variations include smooth strips, ribbed strips (for increased rigidity), and double-sided strips.
- Mounting Systems: Typically suspended from overhead tracks using hooks or brackets. Some systems include self-repairing mechanisms.
Based on the provided information, “plastic rain curtain” can be classified under the following HS codes:
- 3926206000: This HS code falls under Chapter 39, which covers plastics and articles thereof. Specifically, Heading 3926 relates to articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914. Subheading 392620 covers plastic rainwear, including jackets, coats, ponchos, parkas and slickers, featuring an outer shell of polyvinyl chloride plastic with or without attached hoods, valued not over $10 per unit.
- 6306120000: This HS code falls under Chapter 63, which covers tarpaulins, awnings and sunblinds; tents. Specifically, Heading 6306 relates to tarpaulins, awnings and sunblinds. Subheading 630612 covers tarpaulins, awnings and sunblinds of synthetic fibers. Given that a “rain curtain” is made of plastic (a synthetic fiber), this HS code may be applicable.
- 3926909989: This HS code also falls under Chapter 39, covering plastics and articles thereof. Heading 3926 relates to articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914. Subheading 392690 covers other articles of plastics. Subheading 3926909989 covers other.
Tariff Details:
- 3926206000: The base tariff is 0.0%, with an additional tariff of 25.0%. After April 2, 2025, the additional tariff increases to 30.0%, resulting in a total tariff of 55.0%.
