polymerchemie

With a composite of S-PVC and rice husks, Polymer-Chemie succeeds in creating a foam sheet that’s a sustainable alternative for indoor and outdoor applications like sidings, deckings, furniture and booth construction. The main challenge was to develop a foam compound including 40% natural fibre and produce a material 18mm thick and 1,50 meters wide. It’s also 100% water-resistant, UV-resistant and 100% recyclable.
