What is DAPro Celuka Foam Board?

DAPro Celuka Foam Board is a lightweight yet rigid material line, manufactured from virgin PVC resin combined with foaming agents and specialized additives, meeting strict standards of quality and durability in the furniture industry. The product is recyclable, safe for users, and aligned with sustainable development trends.

DAPro foam boards are manufactured on modern technology production lines. The PVC compound combined with foaming agents and specialized additives is heated at high temperature to form a stable foam structure, then extruded by high capacity extruders, shaped in forming molds, and cooled in a closed loop process. After extrusion, the melted material flows through the mold, is formed into boards, and passes through the cooling system to produce the finished panels. At this stage, cutting machines cut the boards to customer requirements, producing panels of uniform dimensions, finished surfaces, and consistent quality.

Key Features of DAPro Celuka Foam Board

1. MOISTURE & MOLD RESISTANT

Humidity is the leading cause of interior furniture damage in Vietnam. Swollen boards, peeling edges, and yellowed panel surfaces all stem from materials that cannot withstand humid environments. The PVC in DAPro Celuka Foam Board does not absorb moisture through any physical mechanism; it does not soak up water, swell, or peel even with frequent water exposure. DAPro foam boards retain their original quality no matter how much time passes.

2. TERMITE RESISTANT

PVC provides no food source for termites. DAPro foam boards are completely immune to termites and mold, requiring no periodic chemical treatment even in humid environments or in direct contact with the ground.

3. EASY TO PROCESS, LOW COST CONVERSION TO FINISHED PRODUCTS

The biggest barrier for a furniture workshop switching to a new material is training and equipment. DAPro foam boards are designed to remove that barrier from the product design itself. DAPro panels can be sawed, drilled, and milled easily using all of a woodworking shop’s existing equipment. No specialized blades and no retraining of workers are required.

4. FORMALDEHYDE FREE, SAFE TO USE

The virgin PVC in DAPro Celuka Foam Board does not use urea-formaldehyde adhesive in production, so the product emits no formaldehyde. This is a selling point distributors can use with customers who have young children, as well as for school, nursery, and premium bedroom projects. Formaldehyde free will become a minimum market standard within the next few years.

5. 40% TO 50% LIGHTER THAN MDF, OPTIMIZED LOGISTICS AND INSTALLATION COSTS

As logistics and installation labor costs continue to rise, material weight is no longer a minor factor. DAPro Celuka Foam Board is significantly lighter than MDF of the same thickness, meaning lower transportation costs from warehouse to job site, faster assembly by installation teams and reduced direct labor hours, lower internal load on wall mounted cabinets, and less risk of screw loosening after years of use.

6. FIRE SPREAD RESISTANT

PVC has a high limiting oxygen index (LOI), self extinguishing once the flame source is removed and preventing fire from spreading across the surface. This is a mandatory technical standard for public, commercial, and residential buildings, and an important factor in limiting damage in the event of fire incidents.

7. VERSATILE APPLICATIONS, SERVING MANY CUSTOMER SEGMENTS

A product that serves many different needs is a strategic advantage for distributors and furniture workshops. DAPro foam boards are suitable for residential and commercial interiors, advertising and display applications, architectural finishing, and even specialized industrial environments.

How does DAPro Celuka Foam Board differ from DAPro Co-extruded Foam Board?

• The co-extruded foam board offers higher rigidity and a glossier, more refined surface, and is typically used in premium projects, serving the high end segment at a higher price point. Meanwhile, the celuka foam board suits the mainstream segment at a reasonable price while still providing full moisture resistance, termite resistance, and formaldehyde free properties. In construction formwork applications, the co-extruded board is usually preferred over the celuka board because its smooth, flat surface is not corroded by concrete alkalization and does not shrink, chip, or warp during construction.

How does DAPro Celuka Foam Board differ from natural wood, MDF, and traditional materials?

• DAPro Celuka Foam Board has a density 40% to 50% lower than MDF, significantly reducing transportation and installation costs. Unlike natural wood and MDF, which are prone to mold, termites, and formaldehyde emissions from adhesives, DAPro foam boards are absolutely moisture proof, completely termite resistant, and emit no formaldehyde. While natural wood and MDF typically show noticeable degradation after 3 to 5 years in humid environments, DAPro foam boards maintain stable quality throughout their service life without periodic maintenance.

Can DAPro Celuka Foam Board be used outdoors?

• It can be used for certain short term outdoor applications such as signage and exhibition backdrops. However, for long term outdoor use, please consult us about the product line best suited to the specific weather conditions of each project.

Can DAPro Celuka Foam Board be painted or covered with decals?

• Absolutely. The surface of DAPro foam boards can be painted, covered with decals, or UV printed directly, making them suitable for advertising and interior decoration applications requiring custom colors and imagery.
