Simply put, the possibilities are endless when it comes to the number of applications for vinyl foam. Continue reading to learn more about PVC vinyl foams offered at Frank Lowe. PVC Vinyl Foam Key Properties As we previously mentioned, PVC Vinyl foam is a closed-cell material that has the ability to seal out moisture, air, light as well as dust whenever it's compressed to 30%. It boasts UV resistance and the ability to resist most solvents, acids, and chemicals. Vinyl foam provides excellent cushioning, is easily conformable, and remains flexible. PVC foams boast excellent sound absorption and shock absorption backed by wear resistance and strength that delivers long product life. As a result, PVC foams are commonly used in gaskets to provide a reliable seal against light, moisture, air, and dust penetration. The key vinyl foam properties include: Low water absorption Strong sealing ability Mid-density closed cell structure Sound dampening ability Shock absorption ability Temperature insulation Resistant to most acids and chemicals What Are the Benefits of PVC Foam? PVC foam offers a full range of different benefits based on the application. Some of the most common benefits of PVC vinyl foam include: Performs extremely well across a full range of temperatures Excellent cushioning abilities against vibrations and shock Versatility allows it to be used in a wide range of industrial applications Effective resistance against light, air, moisture, and dust PVC Vinyl Foam Applications Today, the number of applications for PVC foam has ballooned into a nearly infinite number. Because of its ability to resist dirt, dust, air, light, and noise, one of the top applications of PVC vinyl foam is for gaskets. This material is also commonly used for general-type mounting. Frank Lowe's vinyl foam is typically used as cushioning pads, seals, insulation foam tapes, weather stripping, vibration dampening applications, and more. The key applications for PVC vinyl foam include: Appliances Gaskets, seals, and pads with or without adhesive PVC foam tapes Weather stripping Automotive HVAC Marine Transportation And more PVC Foam Tape PVC foam has excellent weathering capabilities and is regularly laminated with an adhesive to manufacture different types of tape. When the material is double coated, the foam tape can cushion, seal, withstand high temperature fluctuations, and dampen vibrations. PVC vinyl foam can also be used to bond rough, irregularly shaped surfaces on a temporary basis as well as permanently. Double-sided adhesive PVC foam is most ideal for: Wall corner protection Trim panels Indoor signage Mounting name plates And more Order Die Cut PVC Vinyl Foam At Frank Lowe, we offer a full range of different thicknesses of PVC foam.
