Why Choose StruCell® PVC Foam for Your Next Project? When it comes to high-performance core materials for marine, automotive, and industrial applications, structural PVC foam stands out as a superior choice. UNION COMPOSITES, a leading PVC foam board manufacturer, specializes in StruCell® PVC foam, a DNV GL-certified material designed for durability, weight reduction, and structural integrity. In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits, applications, and key features of rigid PVC foam sheets, and why they outperform traditional materials like plywood, aluminum honeycomb, and PE foam. What is PVC Foam? PVC foam is a lightweight, closed-cell polymer material made by foaming polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin. Unlike standard soft PVC, structural PVC foam is rigid, load-bearing, and engineered for high-strength applications. Key Properties of StruCell® PVC Foam: ✔ Closed-cell structure (>95%) – Prevents water absorption (<1.5%) ✔ High strength-to-weight ratio – Up to 6.2 MPa compressive strength ✔ Thermal & chemical resistance – Stable from -50°C to +80°C ✔ Fire-retardant (UL94 V-0) – Ideal for marine and aerospace use ✔ CNC-machinable – Precision cutting (±0.2mm tolerance) Top Applications of PVC Foam Boards 1. Marine Industry Marine-grade PVC foam is widely used in: Boat hulls & decks Bulkheads & interior panels Yacht & houseboat construction StruCell® PVC foam is saltwater-resistant and UV-stable, making it perfect for harsh marine environments. 2. Automotive & RV Manufacturing PVC foam for automotive reduces weight while maintaining strength in: RV & campervan walls Refrigerated truck insulation High-performance vehicle panels 3. Wind Energy & Aerospace PVC foam for wind turbine blades provides lightweight reinforcement, while aerospace-grade PVC foam meets stringent fire safety standards.
