SINTRA
Premium quality, premium performance
As the original, market-leading expanded PVC board, SINTRA provides a premium surface with a bright white low gloss satin finish for high quality printing results, as well as superior durability for more demanding mounting or fabricating applications. Mold it, shape it, form it, cut it - add excellent dent & scratch resistance and you’ve got a solution for almost any project.
Material Composition
SINTRA is comprised of moderately expanded, closed-cell polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in a homogenous sheet with a low-gloss satin finish. Made in the USA.
SINTRA VERS is a lighter weight, general purpose expanded PVC board ideal for common applications or high turn jobs that need to get out the door fast. It provides the consistency, durability and formability of the original SINTRA and its light weight yields the benefits of easier handling and installation for projects requiring elevated applications or those with weight restrictions.
