Pvc Foam Board

The weather and moisture resistance of Forex boards make them ideal for outdoor use (e.g., signs, panel advertising, balcony parapets, wall panelling, etc.) and in the building of damp rooms. Because of their sturdiness at such a light weight, their ability to take print and their simple workmanship the boards can be found in use in trade shows and exhibition constructions, as backing for photos, in display and sign production or in the making of room dividers and furniture.

Forex foam boards should be cut using a carbide-tipped circular saw blade with teeth suitable for plastic work. The cutting speed should be up to 3000 m/minute depending on the density and tooth configuration of the saw blade; the feeder rate should be about 30 m/minute.

Metal drill bits and, when larger diameters are required, round hole cutters or centre bits can be utilized. The cutting speed should be between 50 and 300 rev/minute with a feeder rate from 0.3 – 0.5 mm/rev.

Forex foam boards can be painted, screen-printed and varnished. The best method for printing is the silkscreen process or the digital plate printing. Signs based on Forex are usually made with self-adhesive films like Oracal.
