PVC Foam (Sintra®, Celtec®, Lamicor®, Palite®)

DESCRIPTION

PVC board provides a premium surface with a bright white low gloss with satin finish for high quality printing results.  It has superior durability for more demanding mounting or fabricating applications over light weight foam board substrates.  Mold it, shape it, form it, cut it, it has excellent dent & scratch resistance making it the perfect selection for almost any project.  PVC Foam sheet is resistant to many chemicals, and weatherable in most situations.  Dark colors can absorb UV heat and warp so dark colors are not recommended for exterior applications.  Care should also be taken within large orders of colored sheet to ensure color continuity through the entire order as well as repeat orders for matching color from batch to batch.

Meyer Plastics has a long history of supplying the graphic industry with their PVC Foam needs.  We stock significant supplies of PVC Foam sheet and have experience supplying truck loads for large printing jobs.
