PVC Foam - Properties

PVC foam is a rigid, lightweight extruded sheet made of polyvinyl chloride with a closed cell structure and smooth matt finish on both sides. It has a density between 0.55-0.7 g/cm3, hardness of at least 42 Shore D, water absorption of less than 1%, tensile strength over 15 MPa, elongation at break over 15%, and modulus of elasticity between 900-1500 MPa. Its impact strength, flexural strength, compressive strength, heat deflection temperature, and coefficient of linear expansion meet various standards.
