Core features of PVC hardboard
1. High strength and durability
Strong impact resistance, high hardness, excellent wear resistance and long service life.Compared with acrylic or wood, it is less likely to crack or deform.
2. Chemical stability
Resistant to acids, alkalis, oils, solvents and corrosive liquids, suitable for harsh environments.Does not absorb water, does not mold or expand in humid environments.
3. Flame retardant and high temperature resistant
Meets UL94 V-0 flame retardant standard and extinguishes itself when exposed to fire. Applicable temperature range is wide (-15°C to 60°C), and some modified models can withstand higher temperatures.
4. Lightweight and easy to process
Density is about 1.4 g/cm³, which is easy to transport and install. Can be cut, drilled, hot-bent, welded, compatible with CNC processing and laser engraving.
5. Environmental protection and safety
Some products are recyclable and meet environmental protection standards such as RoHS. No heavy metals added, smooth surface and no bacteria.
Main application areas of PVC hardboard
1. Construction and decoration
Wall/ceiling decoration: replace traditional tiles or wood boards, waterproof and moisture-proof. Bathroom facilities: used for bathroom partitions and countertops, resistant to water stains and detergents.Door and window frames: lightweight and weather-resistant.
2. Industrial manufacturing
Corrosion-resistant lining: lining materials for chemical storage tanks and electroplating tanks. Equipment protection cover: impact-resistant and insulating, suitable for mechanical outer covers.
3. Advertising and display
Signs/display boards: the surface can be sprayed or filmed, and outdoor UV resistance. Display racks: easy to cut into special-shaped structures, the cost is lower than acrylic.
4. Transportation
Interior decoration of vehicles and ships: used for wall panels and seat backs of subways and ships, flame retardant and easy to clean.
5. Other special uses
Laboratory countertops: resistant to chemical and biological contamination. Food processing equipment: meets food-grade safety standards (such as FDA-certified models).
Six advantages of choosing PVC hardboard
1. Cost-effectiveness
The unit price is lower than metal and engineering plastics (such as PP, PEI), and the maintenance cost is low.
2. Easy installation
No special tools are required, it can be directly glued or mechanically fixed.
3. Versatility
The performance can be customized by adding different additives (such as UV inhibitors, toughening agents).
4. Hygienic and safe
Medical-grade PVC can be used for operating room equipment, antibacterial and easy to disinfect.
5. Long life and low maintenance
Ageing-resistant, no obvious performance degradation after 5-10 years of outdoor use.
6. Design flexibility
