PVC Foam Core for Boat Building

Why Choose UNION-StruCell® PVC Foam Core for Boat Building?

• Superior Strength & Lightweight: Densities from 45–250 kg/m³ allow for optimal weight reduction without sacrificing the structural integrity required in boat building. This results in better fuel efficiency and performance.

• True Marine-Grade Waterproofing: A closed-cell structure with less than 1.5% water absorption (ASTM D2842) ensures our foam board for boats will not rot, absorb water, or delaminate, guaranteeing durability in harsh marine environments.

• High-Precision CNC Machining: We offer custom CNC cutting with ±0.2mm tolerances. Whether you need complex hull shapes, deck panels, or structural stringers, we can supply pre-cut boat building foam sheets that fit your design perfectly.

• Excellent Fatigue & Impact Resistance: StruCell® foam absorbs vibration and withstands impact, crucial for withstanding the dynamic loads and occasional impacts experienced by hulls and decks.

• Low Resin Consumption: The microcellular structure of our PVC foam core reduces resin uptake during vacuum infusion or hand lay-up, saving on material costs and reducing part weight.

Product Features: Marine Boat Foam Core

We provide foam for boat building as raw panels or precision-machined components tailored to your production process.

• Custom CNC Parts: Submit your CAD designs for hull sections, deck cores, bulkheads, transoms, and other structural elements. We machine them with breakaway tabs for secure shipping and easy final processing.

• Versatile Material Options: Choose from various densities—P60 for lightweight decks, P80/P100 for high-load hulls, and P130/P200 for demanding structural applications.

• Enhanced Bonding Surfaces: Optional grooved, perforated, or scrim-backed surfaces are available to improve mechanical bonding and resin adhesion with composite skins.

• Large Panel Sizes: Standard and custom panel sizes to accommodate large projects, with thicknesses up to 500mm.

Available Customization Options:

• Density Grades: P45 (standard insulation) to P130 (high-strength for demanding applications).

• Surface Treatments: Grooved or perforated surfaces for enhanced resin adhesion in composite panels.

• Dimensions: Thicknesses from 3mm to 100mm+; panel sizes tailored to your production line needs.

Applications of PVC Foam Core in Boat Building

• Boat Hulls: The primary core material in sandwich composite construction for sailboats, powerboats, and yachts.

• Deck & Superstructure: Creates stiff, lightweight, and non-thermal-conductive decks and cabin tops.

• Transoms: Provides a strong, lightweight base for mounting outboard motors.

• Bulkheads & Interior Structures: Used for lightweight, rigid partitions and furniture cores.

• Stringers & Grid Systems: CNC-machined structural reinforcements integrated into the hull.
