Colorful rigid PVC foamboard is a lightweight rigid material used primarily in the manufacture of signs and displays. It is considered robust for outdoor use, being immune to rain and resistant to wind and sunlight.
PVC foamboard is made up of an interpenetrating polymer network between PVC and Polyurea. Now, the manufacturing process has become much more involved. First, Polyvinyl chloride and polyurea are mixed together under controlled conditions. The mixture is then dispensed into a mold (commonly square as to make the foamboards). The filled mold is sealed by clamping the sides shut and then put into a large press where it is heated. After, a slab of solid material emerges from the mold. The material then undergoes a hot bath in order to expand it to a final density and is cured. The material is then ready to be cut into sheets of varying sizes and thickness, depending on purchaser requirements.
Our PVC Foam board is a versatile expanded PVC used for POP, signage, and non-load-bearing wood replacement for interior and exterior applications such as a variety of applications including signs and displays, exhibit booths, photo mounting, interior design, thermoforming, prototypes, model making, and much more. It can be easily sawed, stamped, punched, die-cut, sanded, drilled, screwed, nailed, riveted, or bonded using PVC adhesives. Its properties include excellent impact resistance, very low water absorption, and high corrosion resistance. It is suitable for printing, especially for screen printing.
The above inherent properties of PVC product range provides many potential application areas as indicated in the following list:
• Signage & Display panels
o Internal Wall Hung Displays
