PVC-hard transparent can be used as a transparent cover sheet for a brochure or workbook. It is also suitable for use in model making for glass surfaces. It is easy to cut with cutter and scissors and can be glued neatly with a transparent plastic adhesive.

PVC films are not suitable for permanent framing or covering of photos or pictures. The material attacks the covered object in case of prolonged contact. Better use acrylic glass, polycarbonate or mineral glass for this purpose. It is also important to note that PVC films do not have a completely flat surface, which creates a slightly streaky impression when viewing the surface, which is especially noticeable on large surfaces. In model making, this can be a positive effect, as it blurs the deep view into the model somewhat. Objects directly behind it, on the other hand, are clearly visible. Also note that PVC is quite susceptible to scratches and cannot be guaranteed to be scratch-free. Frequent contact with other objects leaves traces. Only the one-millimeter-thick material features a protective film.
