PVC Foam Sheet (Foamex)

PVC Foam Sheet (Foamex)

PVC foam sheet, also known as Foamex, is a robust, lightweight material widely used in the printing and design sectors to produce premium advertising boards, signage, and scale models. Composed of a polyvinyl chloride and polyurea blend, Foamex features a smooth, non-porous surface ideal for digital flatbed printing. It supports excellent ink adhesion and can be easily shaped using standard cutting tools, paints, and printing methods.

Foamex PVC board offers strong moisture resistance, ensuring it remains stable without warping or shrinking when exposed to outdoor conditions. It provides good insulation, maintains rigidity, and withstands certain chemical exposures. However, it is not recommended for impact-heavy applications and may become brittle below -10°C.

We stock a variety of grades, colours, and sheet sizes. For custom dimensions and shapes, we utilise advanced CNC cutting technology to deliver precise solutions. To discuss your specific needs, please use the 'Enquire Now' button or contact our technical sales team directly via the contact page.
