PVC Free Foam Sheets
Everything You Need To Know Choosing PVC Free Foam Sheets
The term “free” refers to the free foam method of its production. The PVC foam melt expands freely as it leaves the die and then enters a calibrator separate from the die. The Free-foam method is the most basic process for producing PVC foam boards (PVC foam sheet). This is why usually PVC free-foam board is the least expensive of all types.
PVC Free Foam Sheet is a chemically foamed, rigid, light weight extruded sheet with fine & homogenous closed cell structure having a smooth matt surface finish on both sides. With several variations, including Expanded PVC also known as PVC Foam. The density of PVC free foam board is low (0.3-0.5). The hardness of the board surface is about 35 shore, and there will be obvious scratches on the nail scraping board. The 1-5mm thin plate is generally used for advertisement mounting display, and the thick plate is mostly used for carving, toy model, billboard advertisement and other purposes.
KINGSTAR Expanded PVC Sheet offers a superior quality, extremely versatile PVC foam sheet that is supplied as a standard with polyethylene masking on one side or without coating on request. The masking film removes cleanly revealing a smooth surface finish ideally suited for screen and digital printing applications.
