Bio-degradable Board


BioBoard

As innovators of earth friendly plastic products we are proud to preset a bio-degradable extruded foamed (PVC) sheet called Foamacell™ BioBoard. Foamacell BioBoard is a unique and proprietary developed foamed (PVC) sheet designed to break down in Landfills into inert humus. Our bio-degradable formulation is made with bio-active ingredients and is compounded in the United States. The Final products has the same physical properties as the original Foamacell™ foam pvc sheet, but allows the product to break down in landfills not on your shelf or display. Foamacell BioBoard’s unique formulation insures that the sheet will perform the same as our original Foamacell (PVC) sheet, lending as a perfect bio-degradable sheet for the following applications: digital printing, UV drying, screen printing, thermoforming, painting and gluing.
