Foam core PVC, also known as Foamex, Forex, or foam PVC, is a lightweight, rigid material primarily used in the sign-making and display industries. It consists of a foam core sandwiched between two sheets of PVC. The outer layers provide a smooth surface that is ideal for printing, while the foam core offers structural strength with less weight compared to solid PVC sheets. This combination makes it versatile for both indoor and outdoor applications, ranging from signage, exhibition stands, to wall cladding. Foam core PVC is easy to cut, shape, and install, which adds to its popularity among designers and builders. It is also moisture-resistant, which helps in extending its longevity in various environments.
Bending PVC tubing requires applying heat to make it flexible, then shaping it as desired. A common method involves using a hairdryer or heat gun, evenly heating the area of PVC to be bent until it softens. Care should be taken to avoid overheating, which can cause the PVC to warp or blister. Once pliable, the PVC can be bent to the desired angle or shape. Holding it in position until it cools will ensure it retains the new form. For precise bends or complex shapes, filling the PVC tube with sand before heating can prevent it from collapsing. Additionally, using a bending spring or form can help maintain the tube's diameter and shape during the bending process. Safety precautions, such as using gloves and working in a well-ventilated area, are important to follow when using heat.
Dyeing mortar mix involves adding pigments directly to the mix to achieve a desired color. First, choose a pigment compatible with your mortar type, ensuring it's alkali-resistant to prevent color fading over time. Dry pigments are typically mixed with the dry mortar ingredients before adding water to ensure even distribution of color. Mix a small batch first to test the color once dried, as it can differ significantly from the wet mix. The amount of pigment needed depends on the intensity of color desired but usually ranges from 3% to 10% of the weight of the cement in the mix. Always follow the pigment manufacturer’s guidelines for the best results and wear safety gear to avoid dust inhalation and skin contact.
