Styrene Faced Foam Sheet

Styrene Faced Foam Board at Piedmont Plastics

Styrene-faced foam board, also known as Infinity Board, UltraBoard, or Gatorplast, is a semi-rigid styrene-faced foam sheet used primarily for signage and display applications. This plastic foam board has excelled beyond the capabilities of paper-based foam board products and is the preferred choice for numerous brands and retailers.  

The all-plastic construction of styrene-faced foam board is what makes the material so unique. The sheet is comprised of a high-density polystyrene foam capped between two high-impact polystyrene-faced sheets.

Benefits of Styrene Faced Foam Board

The plastic composition of styrene-faced foam board makes it more durable, lightweight, impact resistant, and moisture resistant when compared to the traditional paper-based alternative. The superior structure of the material also makes it dent resistant, allowing it to maintain its quality during and after installation.

In addition, the smooth high-impact polystyrene faces on the foam board make it optimal for screen printing or digital inkjet printing, and the colors appear more vibrant on polystyrene. This material can also be router cut or saw cut, making it easy to shape into applications like signage.

One of the most impressive benefits of styrene-faced foam board is its longevity. The synthetic materials make it resistant to water, dents, scratches, and warping, leading to a decrease in replacement costs.

Lastly, styrene-faced foam board is made of recyclable plastic materials, and the polystyrene can be reused in plastic extrusion.
