Description
PVC foam board
A PVC foam board is also popularly called a foam board. But what is this type of PVC made of? A PVC foam board consists of a hard foam core, which is laminated on both sides. Where a PVC solid plate has a density of approximately 1.45 g/cm³, a PVC foam plate or Forex has a density of only 0.6 g/cm³. This means that a 1000x1000x5mm solid PVC plate weighs 7.25 kg, and a PVC foam plate only 3 kg. The foamed version thus weighs less than half.
From displays to insulation material
PVC foam sheets are very versatile, which makes them suitable for a wide range of applications. Think of displays, signs for signposting, information and advertising, or as a printed photo on the wall. But also for wall and ceiling cladding, various interior & design applications, shop window and shop fitting and much more. In addition, the foamed structure and excellent insulation value make the sheets ideal for use as insulation material.
