Technical Guide to Foam Board: Nucore, Black,White and Adhesive
Acid-free Foam board for Archival use
Acid- free foam board is very essential for preserving delicate or valuable materials because it eliminates the risk by being chemically inert which ensures the safety of mounted work, photographs or memorabilia. When long time preservation is priority, use this product which prevents yellowing and keeps the materials in good condition.
Foamboard Adhesive is a lightweight, durable material commonly used in framing, mounting, and display projects. It features a polystyrene foam core with smooth paper facings, like non-adhesive foamboard, but with a pressure-sensitive adhesive coating on one side for easy mounting.
- Nucore Foam Board- Durability and stability
Nucore foam board is the best choice for framing and mounting because of its durability which provides superior rigidity, preventing warping, bowing and sagging. It is ideal tobe use in projects that require long term stability.
- Black Foam Board for High-Contrast Displays
This type of material is often used in gallery displays, architectural presentations and signage which offers a professional look specially for projects where contrast is key. Because of the deep black color, the appearance of the lighter materials makes the images and text, and objects stand out sharply. The non reflective matte surface reduces the glare.
- Moisture resistance and Durability
With fluctuating humidity levels, Nucore enhances moisture resistance that is suitable for the outdoor display. Because of the added protection, it prevents the foamboard from absorbing moisture which can lead to molds. It is best ideal in outdoor signage and displays where long-term durability is required.
- Non-Toxic and environmentally friendly Options
These materials are often made of non-toxic materials which makes it safer to users and to the environment. The foam board is made up of recycled materials and is an excellent choice for eco conscious individuals.
- Foam Board Adhesion-Tips for Optimal Use
For best results, ensure that the surface is clean and dry for optimal adhesion, slowly peel off the adhesive backing while smoothing the material onto the board to prevent air bubbles. If additional strength is needed, consider using spray adhesive in conjunction with the foamboard’s built-in adhesive layer.
