Frequently Asked Questions

What is PET Foam Board?

PET Foam Panel is a high-performance, closed-cell thermoplastic structural foam material. It is made from food-grade polyester chips and is a 100% recyclable polymer foam.

What are its Core Characteristics?

The material is characterized by high thermal stability, outstanding mechanical properties, and superior fatigue resistance.

It also features remarkable chemical stability and extremely low water absorption, making it highly moisture-resistant.

Is PET Foam Board safe and environmentally friendly?

Yes, it is completely odorless and has zero formaldehyde emissions.

It is also notable for its FST (Flame retardant, low smoke, non-toxic) properties, typically carrying a B-level fire resistance rating.

What Densities are Available?

BIGBAHN offers several density options to meet different structural needs: 80, 100, 120, 150, 200, and 300 kg/m3.

What are the standard dimensions and thicknesses?

  • Thickness: Standard options include 9, 12, 15, 20, 25, and 30 mm.
  • Size: Standard sheets are either 1220 x 2440 mm or 1150 x 2440 mm.

How strong is the material?

Strength varies by density; for instance, the 300 kg/m3 density board has an average compressive strength of 6.8 MPa and a tensile strength of 4.5 MPa.

Its nail-holding power is stable, recorded at approximately 600N.

How does it compare to PVC Foam Board?

Compared to PVC, PET foam panels are lighter and have a smaller density.

They are also more stable during the nailing process and are significantly less likely to crack than PVC counterparts.

What are the primary applications in the RV industry?

It is considered a perfect substitute for sandwich cores in RV body construction and is an excellent lightweight option for furniture panels, wall panels, and flooring.

What other industries use this material?

Due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, it is used in:

  • Wind Power: As a sandwich material for fan blades.
  • Automotive: For headliners, boot trim panels, and sun visors.
  • Rail Transit: For air ducts, roof door panels, and interiors.
  • Building: For insulated wall panels and shaped architectural structures.

Can it be used for decorative purposes?

Yes, PET foam is used as the surface slats in BIGBAHN's Grille Panels.

These panels combine a GMT base with PET foam slats to provide an attractive decorative effect along with noise-absorbing and heat-dissipation benefits.
