What is PVC foamed sheet?
Foamed sheet is one of the materials and materials used in the construction industry, which is made of polyvinyl chloride foam with an abbreviated name (PVC). They are resistant to breaking and pressure. PVC sheet is a type of compressed plastic, of course, with special and different capabilities and features, the more compact these sheets are, the higher their quality is, according to the type of structure and features.
What is the difference between foamed sheet and PVC sheet?
In fact, foamed and PVC sheets are both the same and have no difference, because they are designed and produced according to the standards of the world and Europe, they do not harm the environment, they are so-called green.
PVC foamed sheets are produced in three types, which are: raw, coated, three layers
1- raw (single layer):
As the name suggests, this type of sheet is single-layer without special processing and has a white color, and it has a lower price than other models, and no special coating is used in it.
2- Coated:
There are sheets that have a cover and usually they have a high-gloss cover and a wood design, which makes the covers more beautiful and more resistant, but so far there has been no guarantee for the durability of the glue of these covers.
3- three layers:
Three-layer sheets are sheets that have three layers, the middle layer is thick, and the upper and lower layers are thinner
Foamed PVC sheet is better or wood
Foamed PVC sheet is more resistant and lighter than wood and is resistant to water, humidity, chemicals and corrosion. Also, the use of foamed PVC sheets causes less wood to be consumed and less trees to be cut and less damage to the environment.
What features make us use PVC foamed sheet?
PVC foamed sheets can be painted, coated, highlighted, engraved, printed, and because their surface is polished and clean, and they are rust-proof, they can be used both inside and outside buildings.
Special features of foamed PVC sheets
Resistant to scratches and impacts due to its smooth and hard surface, it is possible to emphasize in different designs.
It is thermal and sound insulation and is resistant to light and vibration
Resistance to heat and fire, which is called self-extinguishing ability
Light weight makes it easy to carry
Capable of screwing and nailing and gluing and cutting with special saws
Foamed sheets have cnc capabilities, that is, they can be shaped with cnc machines according to designers for different designs.
100% recyclable and environmentally friendly
Resistant to insects such as termites
High durability and longevity between 30 and 40 years
Less time is spent in the processing process such as wetting, cutting, flattening and drying
In what industries are foamed PVC sheets used?
In the automotive industry, on the roof of buses and passenger cars, and in the field of transportation, on the roof of trains
In the interior decoration industries for decorations and wall panels
In the construction industry, it is mostly used due to the self-extinguishing feature of foamed PVC sheets, because it prevents the spread of fire to other units and floors.
Due to its waterproof and moisture-proof properties, it is used in washrooms, bathrooms, etc
In advertising boards and printing on pages and computer letters
Labeling and traffic signs and industrial signs
Use in engineers’ laboratories and kitchens due to its anti-corrosion properties and resistance to chemicals
Coating for cabinet sheets used in kitchens in the domestic and industrial sectors
In the door and window industry due to the feature of sound and vibration insulation, heat and humidity
Furniture industries due to the feature of cutting and screwing, as well as highlighting and covering beds
In partitioning industries to separate different spaces
For the construction and production of false ceilings in buildings
Use in advertising industries such as selenium boards, advertising billboards, information boards
Making wall coverings to cover the walls in stores, offices, laboratories, etc.
Used in the construction of various types of flooring in different spaces due to its resistance and high quality
In pipe making industries and making resistant and standard pipes
In the shipbuilding industry and the construction of all kinds of boats due to its lightness and anti-dandruff properties, as well as fire resistance
