Vymar® unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride (uPVC) Solid Sheet is extruded in Australia, by Laserlite Australia, under
strict quality control conditions that meet the ISO 9001:2000 certification guidelines for both plant and process.
It is manufactured without the use of heavy metal type additives such as lead or cadmium for environmental
and consumer protection.
Vymar® uPVC is a cost effective, versatile and robust sheet that provides comprehensive solutions for a wide range
of applications, from wall panelling to insulation and signage. It is thermoformable, electrically non-conductive
and is resistant to grease, oil and a wide range of chemicals. PVC solid sheets can be easily machined, heat
formed, welded and solvent cemented. |

| Storage & Handling |
Store sheets on a flat surface, out of direct sunlight and way from moisture. If moisture is allowed to get between sheets in storage, it may cause whitening.
When working with PVC Solid Sheet, don't walk directly on sheeting. Always ensure the sheets are installed label side up. |
| Installation Tips: |
| • Marking |
| If the sheet is to mark before cutting, this should, where possible, be done on the protective masking. If necessary, drawing directly on the sheet can be done using a wax pencil. Sharp tools must never be used for marking purposes since sharp indentations lead to failure of the sheet under load. |
| • Sawing
|
PVC Solid Sheet is easily cut with bandsaws, circular saws, handsaws or power jigsaws.
The recommendations to ensure a clean cut include:
- When sawing, the sheet should preferably be clamped to the worktable to avoid vibration and consequent rough cutting.
- Start sawing with the saw-blade in operation
- Always use a low feed speed
If cooling is requires at high cutting speeds, use only a jet of compressed air |
| • Thermoforming |
| It is possible to thermoform the sheet. Warm bending poses no problems. |
| • Masking
|
| PVC Solid Sheet is supplied with polyethylene film on one side to avoid possible damage to the surfaces during transport and processing. The protective masking should be, if possible, left on the sheet during machining and installation. The masking should be removed immediately after installation.
