Cellular Foam PVC

PVC is a very versatile plastic material and is a great material to foam. Rigid PVC in its non-foamed state is one of the most economical, rigid, unreinforced thermoplastic materials commercially available. Barbour Plastics strongest, highest impact, exterior grade compound has a specific gravity greater than 1.40. We have the ability through varied foaming techniques to reduce the weight and control the specific gravity anywhere between a 0.35 and 1.20 density. If you have thick profiles and need weight or cost reduction or require a material with good thermal insulation values, then foamed PVC should be considered.

PVC Foamed Extrusions are a great choice for applications that require:

GOOD INSULATION PROPERTIES

• Thermal Barrier
• Low Temperature Wire Insulation

LIGHT WEIGHT MATERIAL

• Material Cost Savings as Compared to Traditional Non-Foam PVC
• Specific Gravity as Low As 0.35 for Low Density Applications Like Trim and Moldings
• Specific Gravity as High As 1.3 for Applications Require Lower Weight and Good Mechanical Strength

FREE FOAM ADVANTAGES

• Lightest Weight, Softer Skin
• Lowest Part Cost
• Lowest Tooling Cost

CELUKA FOAM ADVANTAGES

• Provides Strong Outer Shell to Add Structural Integrity to Profile
• Provides Better Dimensional Stability
• High Gloss Finish
• Stronger Fastener (screw) Retention
