The main applications of ECOCELL are as follows:
Signage
Media and advertising is a large industry and is growing all the time. Hence there is a requirement for different types of versatile materials. PVC Foam Sheets is one of these materials which is light in weight , very good for printing, flat for picture molding, highly resistant to flame and not affected by rain & moisture. Hence it is perfectly suited for this industry or rather we must say that it is invented for this industry. It is also very cost effective being very light and as it is available in many colours to avoid double printing costs.
Sign boards, letter displays, decoration of shops, windows, exhibition stands etc.
Building sector
Shop – fitting, interior decoration, zones of high humidity (bathroom etc.) air – conditioning and ventilation systems, heat and sound insulation, shutter ply etc.
Furniture
Benches, doors, windows, table, counters, cabinets, wardrobes, shelves, cots, dressing tables etc.
Prefabricated Huts
Instant solution for your need of Houses, Site Offices, Class Rooms, Bath Rooms, Hospitals, Camp Site , Terrace Rooms, Beach House, Security Rooms, Cellular Phone Shelter, Farm house etc.
Electrical Engineering
Switch cabinets, channels for cables & wires, control panels.
Miscellaneous
Construction of containers, apparatus, models, equipment for photographic laboratories, electroplating, traffic signs, building site boards, dance floors, computer rooms etc.
Surface finish
Smooth glossy, semi glossy, matt printed and wood like veneer or marble and granite design etc. Specific colour or length or finish can be developed on request.
Cold Storage
Due to excellent thermal insulation property, resistant to water/ moisture and totally non ferrous surface, ECOCELL provides an ultimate material for cold storage and the food industry.
Physical Specifications
Available in a vast array of colours i.e. super white, Ivory, grey etc. and in wood finish like King’s Maple, French wild cherry, Plateau Mahogany, stone Oak, Elegant Walnut, etc.
Machining
ECOCELL can be easily and quickly worked with standard tools used for wood. It can be cut, turned, drilled, planned, milled, screwed, polished and much more. To prevent breaking and splintering the tools must be sharp, it is not necessary to cool the tools. One generally works at high cutting speed, low forward feed and low rate of cut.
Forming
To some extent the ECOCELL sheets are suitable for Vacuum forming. Bending & folding can be easily done when heated up.
Welding
ECOCELL can be welded as per normal welding methods. But a lot of care should be taken otherwise the Foam might collapse.
Bonding
ECOCELL sheets can be bonded to other material and to itself. Depending on the requirement and application, different types of adhesives can be used. When bonding to itself adhesives containing solvent-free polyurethane adhesives are suitable.
Printing
Due to its smooth surface, ECOCELL can be easily painted and printed. The surface is ideal for screen-printing for which special inks are used. The surface should be clean for printing purpose.
Fixing recommendations
ECOCELL sheets are made of thermoplastic PVC and therefore vary more in length than e.g. timber or metal working materials. When installing screen-printed advertisement boards in e.g. Cricket stadium or when fixing curtain walling or cladding, a possible expansion of the sheets has always to be taken into consideration. The appropriate fixing depends on the type of applications.
