Product Description
PVC Foam Sheet 60 kg/m³ 15 mm Plain
PVC foam sheet is widely used in lightweight construction as a core material in composite sandwich structures. For example, in modern boatbuilding and boat repairs, it is one of the basic raw materials. The sheets are ideal for applications requiring both light weight and strength, especially in boats, where the laminate must have good fatigue strength and minimal water absorption. PVC foam is suitable for use with all common resin systems.
Features and Benefits:
- Excellent strength-to-weight ratio, enabling lightweight structures that can withstand loads without unnecessary mass.
- Chemical resistance and minimal water absorption — the material is not easily damaged in humid conditions.
- Good thermal insulation properties and stability under temperature changes.
- Compatible with the most common resin systems, such as epoxy, polyester and vinyl ester.
- Also available as an HT version, which withstands higher processing temperatures, for example up to 140 °C, in demanding composite manufacturing.
Applications:
- Panels for boat and marine parts, such as decks, hulls and bulkheads
- Wind turbine blade structures
- Components for the aerospace and transport industries
- Sandwich panels for the construction industry, such as roofs and walls
The choice of sheet density and thickness depends on the loads, stiffness requirements and weight limitations of the application. The compatibility of the laminating and bonding method should also be taken into account.
