The light yellow PVC foam board combines aesthetic appeal with structural performance across thicknesses from 1mm to 20mm. The density range of 0.45 to 0.8 g/cm³ provides flexibility between lightweight display panels and denser sheets for load-bearing furniture components. The integral light yellow pigmentation ensures consistent color throughout the cross-section, eliminating surface coating requirements. With a working temperature range of -20°C to 60°C, these high-grade plastic sheets maintain dimensional stability across diverse environmental conditions.
material advantages
▸
wide density spectrum
Selectable density from 0.45 to 0.8 g/cm³ allows matching of weight, rigidity, and machining characteristics to specific project requirements.
▸
extended thickness range
Customizable from 1mm flexible sheets to 20mm rigid panels, accommodating applications from thin signage to structural furniture components.
▸
thermal resilience
Operational stability from -20°C to 60°C ensures performance in cold storage facilities, outdoor signage, and temperature-varied manufacturing environments.
▸
integral light yellow color
Pigment distribution throughout the foam matrix means cut edges, routed profiles, and drilled holes maintain the same light yellow tone without exposing contrasting substrate.

processing guidelines
cutting & routing
Carbide-tipped circular blades (10-14 TPI). CNC routing: single-flute bits, 12,000-18,000 RPM. Laser cutting compatible for thicknesses up to 8mm.
printing & laminating
UV flatbed, solvent, screen printing. Accepts self-adhesive vinyl films and wood veneers. No primer required for most applications.
adhesive bonding
Solvent-based PVC cements, acrylic foam tapes, polyurethane adhesives. For permanent bonds, use specialized PVC weld adhesive.
edge finishing
Sand with 180-240 grit paper. Apply PVC edge banding with hot melt adhesive for exposed edges on furniture components.
technical Q&A
What density is recommended for 3mm light yellow sheets?
For 3mm thickness in signage applications, density 0.55-0.65 g/cm³ provides optimal balance of rigidity and printability. Lower density (0.45-0.50) for flexible banners; higher density (0.70-0.80) for structural components requiring extra stiffness.
Is the light yellow color UV stable for outdoor signage?
Standard grade offers 6-9 months outdoor exposure before noticeable fading. For extended outdoor use (1-2 years), request UV-stabilized formulation. Light yellow pigment generally fades slower than bright red or orange tones.
Can the board be thermoformed?
Limited thermoforming possible at 120-150°C for simple curves on 1-5mm thickness. Sharp bends or deep drawing may collapse the foam structure. For complex 3D shapes, use thinner grades (1-3mm) with slower heating cycles.
Is the material recyclable?
Yes. PVC foam board is fully recyclable under resin code 3. Production scrap can be reground and reintroduced up to 15% in non-critical layers. RoHS compliant with no lead-based stabilizers.
