What is DAPro Co-extruded Foam Board?

DAPro Co-extruded Foam Board is a lightweight yet rigid material line, manufactured from virgin PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) resin combined with foaming agents and specialized additives, meeting strict standards of quality and durability in the furniture industry.

DAPro Co-extruded Foam Board is a new generation interior material, developed for applications with higher demands on rigidity, warp resistance, and long term dimensional stability. While the celuka board is a flexible choice across the full spectrum of applications, the co-extruded board is the optimal choice for load bearing furniture and projects requiring the highest mechanical durability.

Structure of DAPro Co-extruded Foam Board

Central core layer A PVC foam structure, rigid yet lightweight, serving as the backbone of the board. The core design optimizes the stiffness to weight ratio: rigid enough to bear loads, light enough to avoid excessive stress on screw points and hinges.

Two outer surface layers Virgin PVC layers 0.5 to 1 mm thick each, finished flat and glossy with a higher density than the core, creating a surface hard enough for decorative coating, PVC film lamination, painting, or direct UV printing without further treatment.

Molecular level bonding The three layer structure is produced in a single closed loop extrusion process. Rather than three boards glued together, the three layers are formed simultaneously and bonded at the molecular level. DAPro completely eliminates the risk of delamination commonly seen in conventional plywood products.

Key Features of DAPro Co-extruded Foam Board

1. SUPERIOR RIGIDITY AND STABILITY

Thanks to its molecularly bonded three layer structure, DAPro Co-extruded Foam Board offers superior rigidity and warp resistance compared with the celuka board. It is the optimal choice for load bearing applications such as large cabinet doors, loaded horizontal shelves, and wide partitions, where the board must hold its shape over long periods without sagging or deformation.

2. 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 Co-extruded 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.

3. TERMITE RESISTANT

PVC provides no food source for termites. DAPro Co-extruded Foam Board is completely immune to termites and mold, requiring no periodic chemical treatment even in humid environments or in direct contact with the ground.

4. EASY TO PROCESS, NO MAJOR ADDITIONAL COSTS

DAPro Co-extruded Foam Board can be sawed, cut, drilled, and adjusted flexibly using all of an ordinary woodworking shop’s existing equipment. No specialized blades and no retraining of workers are required, allowing furniture workshops to switch materials without additional investment costs.

5. FORMALDEHYDE FREE, SAFE TO USE

The virgin PVC in DAPro Co-extruded Foam Board does not use urea-formaldehyde adhesive in production, so the product emits no formaldehyde. This makes it well suited to customers with young children, and to school, nursery, and premium bedroom projects and other spaces requiring high health and safety standards.

6. GLOSSY, HIGHLY AESTHETIC SURFACE

Two high density virgin PVC layers covering the entire surface create a uniform, sharp gloss that is more refined than the celuka board. The perfectly flat surface allows decorative coating, film lamination, or direct UV printing without further treatment, saving finishing time and costs for furniture workshops.

7. SUITABLE FOR CONSTRUCTION FORMWORK

In formwork applications, the smooth, flat surface of the co-extruded board is not corroded by concrete alkalization and does not shrink, chip, or warp during construction, allowing easy demolding and more reuse cycles than the celuka board or conventional wooden boards.

8. 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.

9. EASY TO CLEAN SURFACE, NO MAINTENANCE COSTS

The virgin PVC surface of DAPro Co-extruded Foam Board does not absorb dirt, grease, or stains. A light wipe with a damp cloth restores the surface to a like new shine, with no chemicals or periodic maintenance routines needed throughout the product’s service life.

10. ADAPTED TO ALL CLIMATE CONDITIONS IN VIETNAM

Manufactured for the characteristics of Vietnam’s tropical climate, DAPro Co-extruded Foam Board maintains stable performance in both the intense heat of the South and the prolonged high humidity of the North. No shrinking, no warping, no seasonal fading.
