JLONCell 45 kg/m³ PVC Foam Core

Overview of PVC Foam Core

JLONCell 45 kg/m³ PVC Foam Core is a lightweight, structural-grade, closed-cell PVC foam designed for industrial composite applications where weight reduction is critical while maintaining sufficient stiffness.
It is widely used in lightweight industrial FRP sandwich panels, machine covers, transportation panels, and modular composite structures, helping manufacturers reduce panel weight without compromising structural integrity.
With uniform cell structure and controlled density, JLONCell 45 ensures reliable quality for both prototype development and mass production of industrial composite panels.

Key Advantages for Industrial FRP Panels

Density: 45 kg/m³

Excellent strength-to-weight ratio

Lightweight alternative to 60–100 kg/m³ grades

Closed-cell PVC structure with low resin absorption

Stable thickness under vacuum pressure
