What is the difference between high elastic PVC foam board and ordinary foam board

Posted by Admin
High elastic PVC foam board and ordinary foam board are two different materials, and they are obviously different in materials, characteristics and applications. The following are the main differences between them:
Material:
High elasticity PVC foam board: made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin and foaming agent, usually including other additives to enhance elasticity and durability. This type of board has a sturdy PVC outer layer and a foaming internal structure.
Ordinary foam board: usually made of polystyrene (EPS) or polyethylene (PE) foam plastic, it has a lightweight foam structure and does not have a solid outer layer of PVC.
Elasticity:
High elasticity PVC foam board: It has high elasticity and can quickly recover to its original state after being subjected to force. This makes it suitable for applications that require elastic support.
Ordinary foam board: foam board is usually relatively soft, but it does not have high elasticity, and cannot quickly restore its shape like the high elastic PVC foam board.
Durability:
High elasticity PVC foam board: Due to the sturdy outer layer of PVC, it has good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for long-term use.
Ordinary foam board: foam board is usually fragile and vulnerable to physical damage, which is not as durable as high elastic PVC foam board.
Density:
High elasticity PVC foam board: usually has a high density as it contains PVC resin and foaming agent. This makes it relatively sturdy, but relatively heavy.
Ordinary foam board: the density of foam board is usually low, because it is mainly composed of foam plastics, so it is light.
Application field:
High elasticity PVC foam board: commonly used in applications that require high elasticity, lightweight, corrosion resistance, and durability, such as sports equipment, automotive interiors, medical equipment, and footwear manufacturing.
Ordinary foam board: mainly used for insulation, packaging, heat insulation and sound absorption applications, such as insulation materials, packaging boxes, building insulation and arts and crafts production.
In a word, there are obvious differences between high elastic PVC foam board and ordinary foam board in material, elasticity, durability and application. The choice of material depends on specific needs and applications.
