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, the boards are therefore suitable for numerous applications. Think of displays, signs for signage, information and advertising, or as printed pictures on the wall. But also cladding for walls and ceilings, various interior & design, window and shop fitting and much more. In addition, due to their foamed structure and excellent insulation value, the boards lend themselves well to use as insulation material.
