Key Properties
An environmentally friendlier alternative to PVC Foamboard.
Manufactured to the highest quality in the UK. When
you dispose of PVC foam it can be incinerated
giving off dioxins which are one of the most toxic
substances produced by mankind. Foam Polystyrene contains no PVC so gives off no dioxins and it is CFC free. It is a medium density board made with a
white Polystyrene core. The surfaces are covered with
white paper which is a perfect substrate for direct
to substrate digital printing with UV curing inks as
well as with solvent based inks. It can also be used
for screen-printing applications such as event marketing
and promotion campaigns and high quality signage.

Strengths
- Medium Denisty of
- 3mm - 0.53 kg/m2
- 5mm - 0.56 kg/m2
- 10mm - 0.76 kg/m2
- Developed for indoor applications.
- Easily processed. Cuts easlily with a sharp knife.
- Foam polystyerene has excellent printability as it is
covered with white paper.
- Foamed Polystyrene is much more rigid than expanded polystyrene foam at equivalent thickness.
Notes
- New unused sheets should be stored dry, flat
and well protected from heat and dust
- When mounting, allow for dimensional change due to
thermal expansion and contraction and drill oversized
holes and use washers.
- Do not screw too tightly.
