Introduction to Foam Board

The Use of Foam Board

The polystyrene foam board is also known as foam board, EPS board is a kind of white object made by the expandable polystyrene beads containing volatile liquid blowing agent, heated in the mold after pre heating the molding. It has the structural characteristics of minuteness obturator, and it is mainly used for building walls, roof insulation, composite board insulation, cold storage, air-conditioned vehicle, ship insulation, floor heating and decoration carving. The application purposes are very extensive.

Advantages of Foam Board

First, it can protect the main structure of the building, to extend the building life. Since the outer insulation is placed in a structure outside of the insulation layer, reduce the stress generated due to structural deformation caused by temperature changes, and reduce the erosion of the structure of the air of harmful substances and UV. Second, the white foam board can effectively eliminate “thermal bridges". In the past, we use the internal thermal insulation, so it is difficult to avoid “thermal bridges”, and the external wall insulation can prevent the generation of thermal bridges, to avoid condensation. Third, wall humid is improved, generally within the insulation vapor barrier to be located, while the use of exterior insulation materials through temperature performance is far stronger than the main structure. Generally, it does not generate condensation within the wall structure layer. Fourth, good to keep stable the room temperature, the exterior insulation, He held stable because the larger structural layer of the heat storage capacity of the wall inside of the wall, there is conducive to the room temperature. Last, to increase the use of housing area, can avoid the damage to the insulation layer due to re-decoration.

PVC Foam Board

PVC foam board is also known as Chevron board and Andy board, its chemical composition is polyvinyl chloride. The surface of the compaction leather board of PVC foam board is very smooth, high hardness, not easy to scratch, it is an ideal substitute commonly used in making cabinets, furniture, wood, aluminum and composite sheet. pvc foam board has the features of anti corrosion, anti moisture, anti mildew, non-absorbent, drilling, sawing and planing, easy to thermoforming and hot bending. It is widely used in passenger cars, the roof of the train cars, box core layer, interior panels, building wall panels, interior panels, office, residential, public building, commercial decorative frame, clean room panels, ceiling panels, screen printing, computer lettering, advertising, labeling, displays, signs with the board albums boards and other industries and chemical anti-corrosion engineering, thermoforming parts, cold storage with a board, special cold project environmental formwork, sports equipment, breeding materials, waterfront facilities, moisture, water-resistant materials, art materials and a variety of light partition instead of the glass ceiling.
