According to different applications, manufacturers produce PVC board with thickness of 3-24mm thickness, 1220x2440mm(4*8ft) size, and general density 0.30-0.90g/cm3. White is the most widely used color in PVC board. There are three production technologies in PVC production industry: free method, Celuka method and co-extrusion method. Each method has its own unique physical properties and applications.

Knowing which types PVC foam board is suitable for your project is important. There are 3 types pvc foam board. Now let's diving in!
PVC free foam board widely used in signs & displays. The surface of pvc free foam board is not harder than PVC celuka foam board or PVC Co-extrusion board, but he price of PVC free foam board is better.
“Celuka” is one of the production processes. The Celuka method uses a mandrel within the die, and there is usually little space between the die and the calibrator. The surface of PVC celuka foam board is harder than PVC free foam board, and the middle layer pvc foam is harder than PVC co-extrusion board.
The Co-extrusion process is an upgraded process. PVC Co-extrusion foam boards have three layers: two outer rigid layers and the middle layer is foam PVC.
Duo to its rigid layers, the PVC co-extrusion foam board has a much harder and glossy surface than the PVC celuka foam board.
Contaminated raw materials or recycled materials result in yellow surface.
Qualified PVC foam board should has consitant small foam cell. Inhomogeneous foaming leads to large foam cell.
Premium PVC foam board has smooth surface. Instable PVC production line leads to unsmooth & Scratched surface.
PVC foam board should be flat and straight. If any warped boards, the worker must single the defective one out from pallet.
If you need 0.6g/cm3 PVC foam board, it is acceptable to offers 0.59g/cm3 or 0.61g/cm3 because of tolerance.
Due to unstable production machine, the density of one side sheet is different with the other side.
Poor packaging or incorrect loading leads to damaged edge.
The boards must be protected by PE film and than put into pallet.
