Expanded Foam PVC Sheet - Lightweight, Rigid & Versatile

Also known by brand-names like Sintra or Komacel

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. Expanded Foam PVC sheet is a rigid material, it is not a flexible foam. It is an excellent light weight and rigid material for signage, dividers, stamping and more.
