PVC Laminated Foam Board-Plastic Sheet

PVC foam board is a particularly light material. It is approximately 50% lighter than solid PVC sheets. The solid version is more rigid and retains its shape. The application and desired machinability determine which type of PVC suits your project. White foamed PVC is very suitable for advertising purposes. We recommend solid PVC for applications in mechanical engineering or electrical engineering. If you want to be sure that you are making the right choice, please check out our blog or contact our customer service.

PVC foam board, also known as Andy board and Chevron board. The main component is PVC, it has the fine chemical stability, anti-corrosive and high intensity.

PVC Foam Board is a rigid expanded foamed PVC sheet with a smooth gloss hardened finish on both sides, has various colour option and surface good for ink absorption. It’s light weight cellular structure makes it easy to handle and fabricate. 

PVC Foam Boards are made through special machinery and technology processing, its main material PVC resin can be free foamed and extruded into a special sheet with many advantages, such as waterproof, self-extinguishing flame retardant, moth proof, insulation, light weight, acid, recyclable, easy to process and so on. It is widely used in indoor and outdoor decoration, partition, bathroom and kitchen cabinets and decoration; interior decoration of bus & train; waterproof insulation works.

Both foamed and solid PVC are suitable for processing yourself. Check out our editing tips for more information.

Solid PVC has fire class B2 and a maximum operating temperature of up to 60 degrees Celsius. Foamed PVC has fire class B1 and a maximum operating temperature of up to 60 degrees Celsius.

The properties of PVC foam give it many advantages in a lot of situations.

Water-resistant: PVC foam doesn’t absorb or react with water, swell or lose its shape. Because of the closed cell structure, PVC foam is fit for all types of weather and marine use.

Corrosion-resistant: PVC foam is a non-reactive material, which means it cannot be corroded by chemicals.

Fire-resistant: PVC foam does not burn, melt or degrade under heat. Fire-resistant materials such as PVC foam boards can be used anywhere to insulate, provide cushioning or reduce vibration impact.

Easy to shape: Not only can you cut PVC foam into any shape, but because it is a moulded product it can be cast in custom shapes as needed, for moulded seat cushions for example.

Easy to colour: How many plastics can be painted? PVC foam can hold any type of paint well, so if you are using it for exterior wall panels you can easily fit it to your style.

Highly Durable: The high-density polymer chains in PVC foam make it strong and resistant to damage or deformation.

1.  PVC Foam Boards consist of materials like Wood-Plastic Composite.
2.  Plywood may not efficiently sustain the moisture and heat while PVC will be a perfect choice for longevity and durability of the materials to sustain moisture and heat.
3.  PVC is very flexible compared to plywood. You can cut or shape PVC Foam Boards according to your requirement, But it plywood, it’s not possible.
4.  PVC is made of recycled waste plastic and wood, So it’s environment-friendly.
5.  Flexible to use PVC plastic Sheets for various purposes without any limitations but this may not be possible in plywood.

When partitions are made using PVC foam boards, they tend to be resistant to sound effects thereby keeping privacy intact. This makes it perfect for office uses. PVC foam board manufacturers produce it without the use of wood, therefore there is no harm done to the forests for its making.

Panel Surface: smooth and flat, no obvious mechanical texture, no color difference on the surface, no stain on the surface, no obvious pits, no needle holes, no thick holes, no cracks.

Side edge: smooth incision, fine pores, no needle holes, no thick holes, no terrible powder loss, no bee holes.

Thickness measurement: when the caliper is placed on the surface, the contact is close and seamless. The thickness of the left and right sides is even.

Weight algorithm: weight (g) = length x width x thickness (cm) x density,

Density algorithm: density = weight (g)/length x width x thickness (cm).

The standard size of PVC Foam Board is 2,440 x 1,220mm; 3,050 x 1,560mm and 3,050 x 2,0500mm. The thickness range is 1-30mm, and the density range is 0.35-0.9g/cc.

Furniture Industry: the thickness range is basically 12-18mm; the density range is 0.55-0.65g/cm3;

Transportation Industry: the thickness range is basically 8-25mm; the density range is 0.45-0.65g/cm3;

Advertising Industry: the thickness range is basically 3-8mm; the density range is 0.4-0.5g/cm3;

Architectural Industry: the thickness range is basically 15-18mm; the density range is 0.55-0.7g/cm3;

Our foam splitting equipment allows us to create sheets of any thickness, from 1.5mm up to 30mm to an extremely tight tolerance. When placing an order, specify the thickness and dimensions required to ensure our PVC foam meets your needs.
