Expanded Foam PVC
Foam PVC Sheet is a light weight extruded sheet made with a closed cell structure. It is sometimes referred to as Expanded Foam PVC or Foamed PVC. This closed cell foam makes it virtually impermeable to air, immune to sunlight, rain and has a R-value for construction. In addition due to its closed cell structure it is very light and easily machinable. It is self-extinguishing and will not decay.
Why you should use Foam PVC:
- Lightweight
- Highly resistant to moisture and some chemicals
- Used in screen printing, advertising, and labeling
