Key Features and Benefits of Marine Grade FPVC
Exceptional Durability and Water Resistance: The robust composition of FPVC resists moisture, saltwater, and UV rays, ensuring that it won't warp, rot, or deteriorate.
Lightweight and Easy to Work With: This foam PVC is remarkably lightweight, making it easy to handle, install, cut, shape, and bond using standard tools and techniques.
Weather Resistance: Optimized for outdoor use, our marine grade foam PVC is impervious to intense sunlight, salt spray, or fluctuating temperatures, thus maintaining its integrity and appearance.
Thermal Conductivity: Alongside its structural advantages, FPVC also excels in thermal insulation which helps maintain warmth and provides a more comfortable and insulated environment.
Smooth Surface: The sleek surface of this sheet allows for the effortless addition of lamination, printing, or personalized graphics.
