What is PVC Foam Board?

PVC foam board, also known as expanded PVC foam board, is a lightweight, rigid material that is less dense than traditional PVC. It retains many of the same properties as typical PVC, such as an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, good flame retardancy, and excellent chemical resistance.

 

Advantages of  PVC Foam Board 

PVC is a material with many unique physical and chemical properties, which makes PVC foam sheets one of the top building materials for construction. Let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of PVC foam sheeting from its properties.


  • Durable - PVC's abrasion resistance, good mechanical strength, and durability are major engineering advantages for use in building and construction applications.

  •  Lightweight - Compared to plywood, PVC foam sheets are lightweight and can be assembled and transported quickly, making them an ideal alternative to traditional wood panels.

  •  Easy to work with - You can easily cut, shape, and adhere to PVC foam panels as needed.

  •  Non-toxic- PVC foam board is a safe and environmentally friendly material that has been in use for more than half a century. It does not contain as much formaldehyde as other upholstery materials.

  •  Fire-resistant- PVC foam board will burn when exposed to fire. However, they will stop burning if the ignition source is withdrawn. Due to the high chlorine content, expanded PVC products have fire safety properties.

  • Waterproof - The moisture resistance of PVC is an important property and people use PVC foam boards in many marine applications.

  • Corrosion-resistant - VC foam board is corrosion-resistant and chemically stable and remains safe even when chemically exposed.

  • Sound insulation - Expanded PVC foam boards are sometimes used for sound insulation. Although sound cannot usually be completely blocked, it can significantly reduce noise.

  •  Electrical Insulation- The electrical properties of PVC, such as electrical insulation or dielectric constant, are excellent.
