Material context

What this application involves

Rigid PVC foam formulations used for foam board, wall panels, impact-resistant boards and related products.

Any candidate must be reviewed in the customer’s actual compound and operating conditions. HESO coordinates the supply-side discussion; the customer validates performance in production.

For PVC foam board, grade selection should follow the current formulation, process, board target and sample evaluation.

Questions worth answering before a sample.

Use these questions to define the comparison method and sample brief before a trial.

  1. Q1

    What board type and PVC formulation are currently used?

  2. Q2

    What blowing-agent grade and dosage are currently used?

  3. Q3

    Which surface, cell or density issue should the sample address?

  4. Q4

    What sample quantity and destination are required?

Important selection principle

Higher ADC content does not automatically mean a better fit.

Compare the candidate against the current material, grade, dosage, process, target and cost/performance requirement. Confirm the result through a production trial.
