Project Procurement Guide: PVC Foam Board vs Acrylic Board | In-depth Comparison of Cost, Performance and Commercial Application

Revealing the Secrets for Building Materials Wholesalers and Project Purchasers: How to Reduce 15%-40% of Comprehensive Costs through Material Selection

I. A Quick Look at the Core Conclusions (Must-Read for Procurement Managers)
Scenarios where PVC foam board is preferred:
Outdoor advertising projects (such as highway signs, large characters on rooftops)
Batch standardized orders (such as unified production of chain store signs)
Projects that are sensitive to transportation/installation costs

Scenarios where acrylic board is still recommended:
High-end retail display cabinets (transparent texture required)
Curved shapes with thickness <3mm

II. Engineering-level comparison of 6 dimensions (with measured data)
1. Procurement cost analysis (based on the market price in Q2 2024)

Procurement suggestions:
When the customer budget is less than ¥100/㎡, directly recommend the PVC solution
Use the higher loading capacity of PVC board to reduce international logistics costs

2. Durability test comparison (excerpt from third-party test report)
Ultraviolet aging test (QUV 3000 hours):
PVC board: color difference ΔE <1.5 (indiscernible to the naked eye)
Acrylic board: ΔE>5 (obviously yellowed)
Impact test (1kg steel ball 1m fall):
PVC board: no cracks (thanks to the honeycomb structure)
Acrylic board: radial cracks

3. Processing efficiency comparison
PVC foam board advantage process:
Cutting speed increased by 40% (compatible with woodworking equipment)
No polishing treatment (direct lamination after CNC processing)
Hot bending temperature is 30% lower (energy saving and consumption reduction)

Acrylic board advantage process:
Higher transparency after edge polishing
Fineer engraving details (<0.5mm lines)
