Closed-cell expanded PVC (Forex / Foamex / Komatex-style) is the workhorse substrate of the signage, display, and lightweight-joinery industries. We extrude a smooth-faced foamed PVC board with a uniform fine-cell core that machines like timber, accepts paint & vinyl beautifully, and weighs a fraction of solid materials.
Common applications
- Indoor and short-term outdoor signage — direct-print, vinyl-overlay, or screen-print
- Exhibition stands, retail POP displays, trade-show booths
- Internal partitions and wall cladding in offices and retail fit-outs
- Lightweight furniture, mock-ups, and prototypes
- Vehicle-livery substrates and removable signage
- Architectural model-making and set-design in film and theatre
Why specify PVC foam
- Smooth, factory-finished surface — paint-ready, no priming needed
- Cuts, drills, routs, and screws like softwood — works with standard joinery tools
- Moisture-proof — closed-cell structure won't absorb water or swell
- Fire-retardant grade available — Class B per EN 13501-1
- Excellent screw retention vs honeycomb or hollow boards
- Bondable with standard PVC and PU adhesives, plus most contact cements
