PVC Foam Board

PVC Foam Board is a lightweight rigid sheet made from polyvinyl chloride resin through physical foaming process. It adopts a three-layer co-extrusion structure with a high-density PVC hard layer (0.2-0.5mm thick) on the surface and a closed-cell foam structure (density 0.4-0.8g/cm³) in the core. With an overall density only 1/3 that of wood, it possesses considerable flexural strength and impact toughness. The surface is specially treated to present matte or high-gloss effects, suitable for direct UV printing, screen printing and engraving processing, making it an ideal environmentally friendly alternative to wood and gypsum board.
