Today Jinbao mainly introduces the PVC skinned foam board, and the difference between the PVC skinned foam board and the PVC free foam board.


According to the production process, PVC foam board can be divided into PVC crust foam board and PVC free foam board.

Skin foaming method:

Also known as the Seluka method. A special die with a core inside is used to divide the plasticized material. The setting device is connected to the die, and its outer contour is the same as that of the die.


When the material is fed into the setting sleeve in front of the die, the melt containing the blowing agent enters the cooling setting sleeve as soon as it leaves the opening film, and undergoes rapid cooling on the entire surface, thereby preventing the formation and extrusion of surface cells. any swelling in the cross-section of the object. Thus, a skin layer is formed on the surface by cooling.


At the same time, the core inside the die causes the cavity created in the semi-finished product to be filled with the foam formed by the rest of the melt, i.e. internally foamed. By controlling the cooling intensity, products with a surface thickness of 0.1 to 10 mm and a product wall thickness greater than 6 mm can be obtained.


This method can produce profiles with complex cross-sectional shapes, and the products have the characteristics of smooth surface, high hardness, and low density in the core area. In addition, by combining this method with free foaming, a pvc foam board with skinning on one side and a free state on the other side can be obtained.

Free foaming method:

Free foaming is the unrestricted free expansion of the melt as soon as it leaves the die, and after a short period of time, enters a larger size setting device.


Free foaming causes all cells to be formed on the cross section of the extrudate, and the growth of surface cells is restricted to a certain extent by cooling to form a plate product with continuous density, moderate surface hardness and smoothness.


The advantage of this method is that the process is simple, and it is suitable for the production of sheets with a thickness of 2 to 6 mm, a simple geometric shape and a matte surface.

The difference between PVC crusted foam board and PVC free foam board

  1. The crusted pvc foam board has a layer of hard skin on the surface, which is smooth and flat; the free pvc foam board has no skin on the surface and has a fine concave and convex shape (pocket surface).


2. Both the PVC free foam board and the PVC skinned foam board have a smooth surface, both of which are fireproof and waterproof. The difference is: the surface hardness of the PVC skinned foam board is very high, and it is difficult to produce scratches, and it is widely used. For cabinets, decoration, construction, etc.


The surface hardness of PVC free foam board is average, and it is widely used in advertising display boards, mounting boards, silk screen printing, engraving, etc.
