Q1 What are the plastic sheets suitable for silk screen printing? How do we purchase materials and customize silk screen printing? Screen printing is suitable for most plastic sheets, including lightweight plastic sheets, such as PVC foam sheets and PP corrugated sheets. And various rigid solid plastic sheets, including acrylic, PVC, PET, ABS, PC, PS.You may buy these plastic sheets directly from us. In addition, we also provide custom silk screen printing services. For custom silk screen printing, all we need is the drawing of the printed pattern. Format of the drawing can be pdf, bmp, dxf, dwg, ai, eps. Q2 Is the silk screen printing pattern waterproof? The silk screen pattern is waterproof. As long as you inform us how to use it and its usage environment, we will use suitable plastic sheets and waterproof inks.However, it should be noted that there are two types of printing inks: water-based inks and oil-based inks. The ink used in silk screen printing is oil-based ink. Oil-based inks can be dissolved in oil-based liquids. Therefore, be careful not to use oil to wipe the silk screen printing pattern. Q3 Can silk-screened billboards be used outdoors? If it is a billboard for outdoor use, then what we need to consider is that both the substrate and the ink are UV-resistant and non-fading.Different advertising materials have different UV resistance. Common plastic sheets that can be used outdoors include PVC foam board, PP corrugated sheet, acrylic and ABS sheet. We can also enhance the UV resistance of plastic sheets by adding UV-resistant agents. If you have such needs, please remember to inform the seller of its outdoor use environment and its service life.Silk-screened billboards can be used outdoors. The inks we used for silk screen printing are specially designed for outdoor use. We can guarantee that the silk-screened pattern will not change color when used outdoors for at least two years. Q4 Can silk screen printing be done with translucent? The answer is YES. First of all, the material must be a thin plastic sheet with high transparency. For example, this custom product we show in the image below. The material we use is PET sheet with the thickness of 1mm.When we lay this product flat, all we see is a picture (left image below). But when we give a strong light on its back, the place where the translucent printing is made will be illuminated by the strong light (the letter in the right picture below). This is the translucent of silk screen printing.You may be wondering: how do we ensure that every product has the same translucency?In order to make the translucency of each position on the product consistent, or to make the translucency of each product consistent, we use a light transmittance tester. The light transmittance tester can express the transmittance of the position in percentage, which helps us to improve the processing technology more scientifically. Q5 What does the surface of the silk screen pattern look like? The surface of silk screen printing can be a glossy surface or a frosted surface. Common silk screen printing surface is mostly glossy. If customer is looking for a frosted surface on the printed parts, all we need to do is to add an additional layer of frosted oil to the printed parts. Q6 Can the printed product be covered with protective film? Yes, the printed product can be covered with a protective film. If a customized product needs CNC cutting or hot bending after silk screen printing, then we can coat the printed product with a protective film. This can effectively prevent the product from being soiled or scratched in the subsequent processes.

Question 2

PVC foam sheet normally come with 1220*2440mm (4*8 feet), most cutomer need to cut it into smaller size, if the do not need accute size, can use a carpenter's saw, which can control the tolerance in 5mm. but some project required PVC foam board with higher accurace after cutting, for examples ±0.5mm, ±1mm, what kind of machine to use?  CNC or laser cutting?

Accepted Answer

Before we answer the question, let's disucss what is the heat distortion and melting temperatures of PVC sheet? The heat stability of raw PVC is very poor, so the addition of a heat stabilizer during the process is necessary in order to ensure the product's properties.Traditional product PVC has a maximum operating temperature around 60 °C (140 °F) when heat distortion begins to occur.Melting temperatures range from 100 °C (212 °F) to 260 °C (500 °F) depending upon manufacture additives to the PVC. For CNC machine, during cutting PVC foam sheet, which will produce low heat between the cutting tool and pvc sheet, which is about about 20 °C (42 °F), while cutting other material such as HPL, the heat is higher, about 40°C (84°F).For laser cutting, depend on the material and power factor, 1. for cutting no metel it is about 800-1000 °C (1696 -2120°F) . 2. cutting metel is about 2000 °C (4240°F). Conclusion PVC board is suitable to processing with CNC machine, not by laser cutting. The high temperature brought by laser cutting will cause the PVC boardto burn and turn yellow, or even soften and deform. Here is a list for your reference:Material suitable to cut by CNC machine: PVC sheet, including pvc foam sheet and PVC rigid sheet, WPC foam sheet, cement board, HPL panel, aluminium panel, PP corrugated sheet (PP correx sheet), solid PP sheet, PE sheet and ABS.Mateiral suitable to cut by Laser machine: wood, acrylic sheet, PET sheet, metal.

Question 5

As resources become increasingly scarce, environmental issues have become increasingly acute. Artificial wood-plastic combined flooring is more and more favored by consumers. WPC flooring has more obvious advantages than traditional wooden flooring and ceramic tile flooring.

Accepted Answer

Can WPC Foam Sheets Be Used As Flooring? WPC foam sheet also called wood composite plastic sheet, it is very similar to PVC foam sheet, the difference between them is that there is about 5% wood powder in WPC foam sheet, pvc foam sheet is pure plastic. So normally wpc foam sheet is more like wood color, as the pictures show in below.  WPC foam sheet is lightweight, waterproof, mildewproof, mothproof. √ Thickness from 3-30mm√ Available width is 915mm and 1220mm, with no limited length√ Standard size is 915*1830mm, 1220*2440mmWith the outstanding waterproof performance, WPC foam sheets are used a lot in the furniture, especially bathroom and kitchen furniture, outdoor furniture. Such as cabinet, cupboard, barbecue sets, balcony washing closet, chair and table, electricity box.  Some of our customers use WPC foam sheets for flooring. Traditional flooring material is plywood, MDF in the middle layer and on laminated with viny material, baboo and solid wood on the top. But the problem with plywood or MDF are not waterproof and have termite problem. After a few years of use, the wooden floor will warp due to moisture and water absorption, and will be eaten by termites. However, WPC foam board is a great replacement for this material can meet the requirements as the water absorption of wpc foam sheet is less than 1%. Popular thickness for using as the middle layer of the flooring: 5mm, 7mm, 10mm 12mm with at least 0.85 density (higher density can greatly solve the strength problem). Here is example (refer to the pictures above) : 5mm wpc foam sheet in the middle and 7mm total thickness. WPC foam sheet is easy to cut, saw, nail with conventional machines and tools used for plywood. Boardway provides customize cutting service. We can also sand the surface of WPC foam sheets and provide sanding services on one or both sides. After sanding, the surface adhesion will be better, and it will be easier to laminate other materials.

Question 6

The pro and con of plywood formwork panel, PVC formwork panel and aluminum formwork panel, and the differences between them.

Accepted Answer

There are several kinds of construction formwork in the market now, plywood formwork panel, PVC formwork panel and aluminum formwork panel. There are pro and con for each of the material. MATERIAL PRO CON Plywood Formwork Low cost 5-8 recycle times PVC Formwork 30-50 recycle times Higher cost Aluminum Formwork 30-50 recycle times Heavy and very high cost We can take Aluminum out for now, is that any way for customer to choose to use plywood or pvc formwork panel?The answer is yes !! We had done a few tests in our construction site. Combining plywood and pvc formwork panel in the construction site can greatly help with comparing the cost while getting the max recycling times.  Comparison Between PVC Formwork And Plywood Formwork In The Same Construction Site Plywood formwork and pvc formwork after the same recycle times. You may see the differences. Normal plywood formwork can reuse about 5 times, with a better quality one (faced film) may be able to reuse 8-10 times. For construction, there are places need to use full size panel, we would suggest using pvc formwork panel, for examples, roof, wall.For the place required small cut size, such as the corner, edge, pillar, we recommend using plywood, as the size of each floor are difference, so as plywood cost less, so after a few times reuse, cut a new one to replace. Won’t cost much. Last but not least, with the frame structure, strongly recommend using pvc formwork panel. The longer that the material can last the lower the cost.  Recommended Product: PVC Concrete Formwork

Can PVC foam board be glued with other materials?  PVC foam board is an ideal material for decoration. However, sometimes we need the various options of the surface so that could strength the beauty and practicability. Therefore, it is necessary to glue all kinds of patterns or other plastic boards with PVC foam board. Then the question is Can PVC foam board be glued with other materials? What kind of material could be glued with PVC foam board perfectly? PVC foam board could be definitely glued with other materials. The common materials which could be glued with PVC foam board are as below: 1.  PVC wood grain film PVC wood grain film is used widely in decoration, and it could be laminated to the surface of PVC foam board well, which makes the surface looks more beautiful. The regular method to do the gluing is flatbed press gluing. During the process of gluing, the following should be paid attention to:1.1 PVC wood grain film must be back-coated, otherwise it will not be easy to glue, not paste well in the process of laminating.1.2 Usually make one side of PVC wood grain film adhesive with roller coating or blade coating.1.3 Glue coating must be homogeneous and same thickness to ensure no glue missing and no glue accumulate on the board. The thickness of glue coating should be adjusted according to the thickness of film and weather.1.4 Time after glue before coating, summer or autumn season with hot and dry condition, time can be shorter, while and cold and humid winter and spring, time can be longer. The best gluing timing is when touching the surface of the glue with fingers, feeling it is almost dry but sticky, and then keeping it on the exact position, sticking the both sheets with flatbed pressing. How long the time needed to do the gluing is determined by the thickness of the coating, the speed of doing the coating and the temperature of the environment. 2. Tempered Glass Tempered glass laminated PVC foam board is a new laminated way in recent years, tempered glass has the advantages of high safety, high strength, good thermal stability, UV stable and so on, which is widely used in benchtop, countertop, coffee top, building doors and windows and so on.  3. Acrylic/PMMA  The surface of PVC board can also be glued with acrylic. Acrylic, also known as PMMA, has good transparency, chemical stability and weather resistance, beautiful appearance, has been widely used in the construction industry and decoration field. 4.Decorative High-pressure Laminate Fire waterproof board is also known as refractory board. Its scientific name is high-temperature laminated board of thermosetting resin impregnated paper. The abbreviation is HPL (High-pressure Laminate). HPL board is a fire-resistant building material for surface decoration. It has rich surface color, texture and special physical properties. Undoubtedly, HPL can also be laminated with PVC foam board, which enriches the surface of the foam board and can be widely used in interior decoration, furniture, cabinets, laboratory countertops, exterior walls and other fields.
