28 May 2024

PVC Foam Boards by Perspex®

PVC foam boards, a versatile material with a wide range of applications, are known for their lightweight structure and flexibility. Particularly popular in the signage and exhibition industry, PVC foam board offers a range of advantages that make it a preferred material choice for various sectors.

Palight® Plus: Lightweight, durable and versatile, Palight Plus PVC Foam sheet provides enhanced resistance to certain chemicals and water absorption. Lighter than solid PVC sheet as well as wood and metal alternatives, Palight® PVC sheet is easy to transport, handle and install.

Palight® Print Plus: Palight Print Plus has a new, visibly brighter, white colour - developed for wide format print producing noticeably brighter colour imaging. The smooth surface serves as an ideal substrate for print inks, enabling smooth gradations and homogenous area cover. 

Palboard: Palboard is a hybrid version of Palram's solid PVC and foam PVC. The product combines the tough-impact resistance of solid PVC with the easy-to-use benefits of PVC foam made from up to 50%  recycled PVC. 

Perspex's range of PVC foam boards offer high-quality, customisable solutions to suit a wide range of applications.
