1、 PEVA material shower curtain
advantage:
Environmental protection and health: PEVA (polyethylene vinyl acetate copolymer) is a new type of environmentally friendly material, non-toxic and odorless, without plasticizers, harmless to the human body, especially suitable for families with children and the elderly.
Waterproof and mildew proof: It has good waterproof performance, effectively isolates bathroom moisture, and is not easy to mold, keeping the bathroom dry and fresh.
Soft and durable: The texture is soft, the touch is comfortable, and it is wear-resistant, with a long service life.
Easy to clean and maintain: The surface is smooth and not easily stained, making cleaning convenient and fast.
Disadvantages: Compared to PVC material, the price of PEVA may be slightly higher, but considering its environmental friendliness and long-term economic viability, this is often accepted by consumers.
2、 PVC material shower curtain
advantage:
High cost-effectiveness: PVC (polyvinyl chloride) shower curtains are the preferred choice for many households due to their low cost and relatively affordable market price.
Strong waterproof performance: It also has excellent waterproof function, which can effectively prevent moisture from overflowing.
Diverse color patterns: PVC material is easy to color and print, so there are more diverse color and pattern choices for PVC shower curtains on the market.
Disadvantages:
Poor environmental friendliness: Some PVC shower curtains may have added plasticizers during the production process, and prolonged exposure may have a certain impact on health, especially low-quality PVC products.
Easy to age and deform: Compared to PEVA, PVC material has slightly inferior durability and may experience aging and deformation after prolonged use or frequent contact with high-temperature hot water.
Cleaning difficulty: Some PVC shower curtains may have rough surfaces that are difficult to thoroughly clean and prone to absorbing odors.
summary
In the comparison between PEVA and PVC, two environmentally friendly materials for shower curtains, we can see that although PVC has a certain price advantage, considering environmental friendliness, durability, and ease of cleaning, PEVA material shower curtains are undoubtedly the more ideal choice. Especially for consumers who value their quality of life and the health of family members, PEVA shower curtains are undoubtedly the preferred choice in bathroom renovation. Zhejiang Yiwu Jieshang Daily Necessities Factory, with its rich product line and high-quality environmentally friendly materials, provides consumers with diverse choices, making your bathroom renovation more convenient.
