PVC foam core is one of the most commonly used marine structural cores because it provides an excellent balance between cost, strength, water resistance, and processability.
Its closed-cell structure prevents excessive water absorption and gives it good long-term durability in marine environments. PVC foam also performs well in vacuum infusion and hand lay-up processes.
Typical marine applications include:
- Hull structures
- Deck panels
- Bulkheads
- Superstructures
- Interior furniture
It is widely used in commercial boats, yachts, patrol boats, and workboats.
