What is PVC Foam Board

 

 

PVC Foam Board is a worthy and cost-effective alternative to timber, aluminium materials, and multi-board. It is made from plastic using the chemical compound Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC). This compound is used in furniture and buildings. It is lightweight and moisture/ corrosion-resistant. It has better physical properties when compared to other forms of similar density foam boards, thanks to its chemical composition.It is suitable for furniture, kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets, etc. They can also be formulated into different versions with increased rigidity or ductility. Due to its wide range of features and properties, it is preferred over other materials for the same functionalities.

 

Benefits of PVC Foam Board
 

Water Resistance

PVC foam boards have solid resistance to water due to its composition. When it comes in contact with water, it does not swell or lose its composition. This makes is fit for all types of weather.

Corrosion Resistance

When brought in contact with chemicals, PVC doesn't react. This keeps its state intact and saves it from any kind of deformation.

Fire Resistance

PVC foam boards can be used anywhere as they are fire resistant. There is no effect of acid, heat or light on it.

High Strength & Durability

Due to the structure of its component molecules, PVC foam boards are highly strong which ensures that they don't undergo any deformation. The boards can survive for as long as 4 decades without any damage.

Easily shaped and painted

PVC can be given any shape to suit your requirements. It can be cut for the furniture of your house or can be made into wall panels for exterior use. Also, it can be painted with any type of paint which lasts for years and gives the look and feel as if it is new!

Pocket-friendly

They are a good substitute for wood or aluminium and they come in a variety of price range. They don't require any extra maintenance and stay in the same state for quite a long time. No special equipment is required to cut or drill them and this makes them pocket-friendly to use.

 

Types of PVC Foam Board
 
 
 

PVC Free Foam Board

As the name suggests, PVC free foam board is made without polyvinyl chloride. Instead, it utilizes polypropylene or a blend of polypropylene and polyethylene. PVC free boards are ideal for projects where chemical leaching is a concern. They provide similar strength and durability as traditional PVC materials.

 
 

PVC Celuka Foam Board

Celuka foam boards have a closed-cell structure created through an extrusion process. This results in a lightweight board with enhanced thermal insulation properties. PVC Celuka boards are exceptionally smooth and consistent. They work well for signage, model building, and crafts.

 
 

PVC Co-Extrusion Foam Board

Co-extrusion foam boards consist of a closed-cell PVC foam core bonded between two layers of plastic coating. The coating improves surface finish while the foam center provides strength. These boards offer weather and moisture resistance. Common uses include exterior signage and marine/boat building.

 
 

PVC Laminated Foam Board

Laminated PVC foam boards have a layer of plastic film or paper laminate adhered to one or both sides. The lamination creates a more durable surface and allows for printing. PVC laminated boards see heavy use for visual communications and retail displays.

 

 

Application of PVC Foam Board
 

Building and Construction Industry
This industry makes maximum use of the PVC Boards, because of their amazing attributes such as fire, water, resistance to chemicals, and pests. It’s used for windows, doors, wall cladding, partitioning, and more. Thanks to their resilience and sturdiness, they are mainly used in places where they can withstand extreme weather conditions.

 

Furniture
PVC Boards are highly used in the production of office and home furniture because of their resistive nature to termites and water. Moreover, its ease of cutting, shaping, and bonding makes it perfect for creating decorative pieces, tables, chairs, cabinets, bookcases, and many other furniture elements.

 

Advertising and Signage
Thanks to its durability and lightweight, PVC Board is an amazing material for creating signage, point-of-sale displays, and exhibition stands. Its super smooth surface can easily be printed on easily, providing the best platform for long-lasting and vibrant prints.

 

Kitchen Cabinets
PVC board kitchen cabinets have actually emerged as one popular option to the traditional wooden ones because of their easy installation, low cost, and durability. Furthermore, they resist water, fungus, and termites that will destroy the cabinets. Accessible is a range of colors and designs, they allow for lots of creativity and will blend seamlessly in any kitchen decor.

 

External Wall Panels
PVC Boards provide a decorative touch to exteriors and enhance weather resistance. PVC external wall panels withstand various climate conditions, providing durability and resistance to both water and UV light. Their easy-to-clean and smooth surfaces deter the growth of mold and mildew.

 

Characteristics of PVC Foam Board

Water Resistance

PVC foam board is highly waterproof and moisture resistant. The water absorption rate of PVC foam boards is only 0.08%, making it ideal for outdoor use and humid environments. PVC does not corrode or degrade when exposed to water. This gives PVC foam boards superior longevity compared to wood and metal which can warp, swell, rot, or rust when wet.

Corrosion Resistance

PVC foam boards do not corrode due to their plastic composition. They maintain their strength and appearance even in saline environments near oceans. Metals, on the other hand, are prone to corrosion, oxidation, and material fatigue.

Fire Resistance

PVC foam boards are inherently fire-retardant and self-extinguishing. They achieve Class B1 fire ratings, with low smoke density and toxicity. In a fire, PVC chars but does not readily ignite. This makes it safer than combustible materials like wood, paper, and cotton.

High Strength

The closed-cell structure of PVC foam board gives it high compressive strength. PVC foam boards have excellent strength-to-weight ratios, with high rigidity despite low density. They can withstand over 10 times more weight than wood panels of the same thickness. The high strength of PVC makes it suitable for load-bearing applications.

 

How to Choose PVC Foam Board

 

1

When selecting, you should first look at the appearance to see whether the board surface is smooth and smooth without cracks, and whether the surface has a sense of luster. Then you can knock the board surface with your hand to see whether its sound is clear.

 
2

Smell the smell of PVC foam board and see if there is any pungent smell. When selecting, ask the supplier to show the inspection report to see if it is qualified, and then select according to the installation site, personal preferences, environmental coordination and other factors.

 
3

PVC foam board is a kind of refractory material, which can burn on the flame, but will extinguish itself from the fire.

 

 

How To Distinguish the Quality of PVC foam Sheets

Check the Density
One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a PVC foam sheet is its density. Higher density sheets are generally more durable and offer better insulation. You can check the density of the sheet by checking the weight of the sheet. Higher density sheets will be heavier.

 

Look at the Thickness
PVC sheets come in a range of thicknesses, and generally, thicker sheets are more durable and of higher quality. However, keep in mind that thickness alone is not a guarantee of quality, as other factors such as the manufacturing process and the materials used can also affect the sheet’s strength and durability.

 

Inspect the Surface
The surface of the PVC foam sheet should be smooth and free of imperfections. If there are any bumps or deformities on the surface, it could indicate poor quality. Additionally, the color of the sheet should be consistent throughout, without any discoloration or streaks.

Check the Cutting Quality

If you are buying pre-cut PVC foam sheets, make sure to inspect the edges for smoothness and precision. Poorly cut sheets may have jagged edges that can affect the overall quality of your project.

Flexibility

PVC sheets should be flexible, but not too flexible. If the sheet is too flexible, it may be prone to tearing or breaking under stress. On the other hand, if the sheet is too stiff, it may be difficult to work with and may not be suitable for certain applications.

Color consistency

High-quality PVC sheets should have consistent color throughout the sheet. If the sheet has visible color variations or streaks, it may be of lower quality.

Chemical resistance

PVC sheets should be resistant to a variety of chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and petroleum products. If the sheet is prone to discoloration or deterioration when exposed to these chemicals, it may be of lower quality.

 

How to Maintain PVC Foam Board
 

Routine maintenance
Use 90% dry mop to clean the PVC board, do not use local cleaning, because the pollution of local cleaning is serious;

 

Monthly maintenance
Wax the surface of the partially damaged board. Especially the homogeneous PVC board is usually waxed once a month;

 

Pollution treatment
Ink, food. Greasy PVC boards should be wiped with dirt, and then scrub the traces with diluted detergent. The remaining traces of black leather shoes are difficult to remove. They can be scrubbed with a veil, and cannot be poured on the PVC board for cleaning. After scrubbing, add wax for maintenance;

 

Precautions
PVC boards cannot be scratched with cleaning balls or knives. Clean dirt regularly. Consult relevant personnel, do not use acetone, toluene, and other chemicals indiscriminately;

 

Chemical protection
Avoid a large amount of water staying on the surface of the PVC board for a long time. Water soaking the floor for a long time may penetrate under the PVC board, causing the gel-solubility of the PVC board to lose its adhesion, and may also cause the layer of protective wax on the surface of the PVC board to cause PVC board Pollution, or sewage seeps into the PVC board, causing discoloration of the PVC board;

 

Sun protection
Avoid direct sunlight, and do a good job of ultraviolet radiation of PVC board to prevent PVC board from fading.
