1.Product Introduction
PVC Free Foam Sheet Extrusion Lines are designed to produce PVC foam sheets without an outer skin layer. Known as “free foam” sheets, these products have a slightly textured surface, are porous and are ideal for applications that require painting, printing or lamination. Made from PVC resin combined with a foaming agent, these sheets are a lightweight, durable alternative to wood, MDF and other traditional materials. They are also waterproof, flame retardant, termite and mildew resistant, making them ideal for indoor and outdoor applications in a wide range of industries.
2.Market Overview
The demand for PVC free foam board becomes more and more cheaper, because of lightweight and using widely. It’s popular in architecture, interior design and advertising industry. They like using PVC free foam board on covering board, signs and furniture manufacture. These products are very welcome in North America, Europe and Asian-Pacific region. Due to the rapidly development of industrialization and urbanization, Demand is also increasing in emerging economies such as South America, the Middle East and Africa. In future few years, the global PVC free foam board market is predicted to grow at a CAGR about 9%-10%. It reflects that people preference of cost-effective and sustainable building materials is increasing.
3.Applications of PVC Free Foaming Boards
Architecture and Interior Design: These sheets are used for wall panels, partitions, and ceilings. The textured surface allows for easy painting and lamination, making them suitable for interior decoration.
Furniture and Cabinets: PVC free foam sheets are often used for cabinets, shelving, and other furniture components because they are lightweight and resistant to moisture and insects.
Advertising and Displays: These sheets are often used for signs, advertising displays, and exhibition materials because of their smooth, customizable surface. They are easily printed, painted, and cut to size.
Packaging: Free foam sheets are sometimes used in specialized packaging applications because they are lightweight and durable.
4.Competitive Analysis
