Why PVC Foam Board is going to be trendsetting in coming years?

Firstly, due to the lack of management and uncontrolled forest exploitation, the natural resource is getting exhausted, leading to the increasing price of interior products. Moreover, it also brings adverse effects on environment such as: flood, drought, landslide, erosion and global warming. In spite of its competitive advantages and differentiations in comparison with alternative products made from plastic, stainless steel, industrial wood, natural wood retains limited features such as easily getting warped as weather changes, not against insects, dampness…which is causing users to get confused. Therefore, to overcoming those shortcomings, it is necessary to come up with a new kind of material which can replace the natural wood.

Secondly, according to Mr. Pham Quang Hien (General Director of Vietnam Forestry Corporation), industrial wood is divided into 3 main types: fiber boards, particle boards and plywood. Even though the industrial wood has somehow addressed some drawbacks of natural wood such as meeting the increasing market demand, limited features of natural wood as well as negative impacts on environment, industrial wood does still not satisfy customers’ demands due to its prevailing disadvantages, namely containing harmful toxics, deformation, catching fire or not against insects, cracking…

In recent years, researchers have brought to market a new material: PVC Foam Board -  a sheet - shaped material, mainly made of Polyvinyl Clorua (denoted as PVC) along with some inorganic additives. With a wide range of colors and grains, customers have been offered with a various number of choices. Furthermore, PVC Foam Board has more outstanding features than natural wood like resistance to water, workability, anti - mould, no warping, environmental friendly and reasonable price. There is no doubt that PVC Foam Board would be a perfect choice to make interior products satisfying demand and consuming trend of customers.
