Polyvinyl chloride, also known as PVC or foam board, is one of the most widely used plastic materials. This type of plastic is commonly used for indoor applications and in the advertising industry. Foamed PVC sheets consist of a foamed PVC intermediate layer located between two dense outer layers. This very light material (half the weight of solid PVC) is very resistant to moisture and certain chemicals and is very easy to cut and shape. In this blog, LINGBIAO will demonstrate the versatility and properties of PVC.
PVC foam is available in densities ranging from 3 pcf to 25 pcf (45 kg/m3 to 400 kg/m3). The raw materials are mixed together under controlled conditions and distributed into moulds. The filled moulds are then sealed, clamped shut and placed in a large press and heated. Once this process is complete, a solid piece of material emerges from the mould. The material is then expanded in a hot water bath to reach its final density and cured. The cured blocks are then cut into sheets of varying thicknesses according to customer requirements. The process and formulation combine to give the foam its closed-cell nature and excellent physical properties.
Application cases of PVC board
One of the most important properties of PVC plastics is their light weight. Foamed PVC foam sheets are the lightest, being twice as light as solid PVC. This is useful, for example, if you are giving a presentation and do not want to move heavy boards.
PVC foam sheets are UV resistant and can withstand harsh weather conditions. This property explains why these sheets are so widely used in the advertising and contracting industry. It resists the damaging effects of rain, wind and sunlight very well.
PVC sheets and foam sheets require little maintenance. When the sheets are used normally in a relatively clean environment, the sheets only need to be cleaned a few times a year. Read our PVC cleaning tips.
Foamed PVC sheets are widely used in the advertising industry. This is not only because the plates are light, but also because they are easy to print on. Examples include trade shows, shop displays and product displays. You can create an attractive feature for your wall.
Foamed PVC panels are chemically resistant and therefore easy to work with. The panels can be drilled, sawn, glued, painted and milled. Foamed PVC is particularly suitable for interior advertising, displays, covering ceilings, stand construction, screen printing and interior decoration ideas.
Due to its good chemical resistance and low water absorption, PVC foam is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. It supports quality timber processing and is also an ideal alternative to wood, aluminium and other types of composite materials.
