Finish Plastics | Glazing and Construction Materials

Celtec Displayboard is a foamed polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheet whose extraordinary combination of features makes it ideal for signage, exhibits, store displays, POP, Kiosks, screen printing and more.The surface is a smooth matte finish that makes it ideal to paint or laminate to secondary substrates. Celtec also has good screw and staple retention which makes it ideal for stage prop design, cabinetry and other wood replacement projects. Sheets are tough, high-strength and lightweight, and can be ordered in a wide range of sizes, thicknesses and colors. Celtec sheets are free of lead, cadmium, barium and zinc and have passed all three UL 1975 requirements.Celtec is recommended for industrial and commercial signage. It readily accepts virtually any form of graphic overlay (print, paint and photo mounting). Celtec is also easy to cut and shape, making it a strong choice for three-dimensional exhibits, displays and stage sets.

Celtec is a versatile, expanded PVC used for POP, signage, and non-load-bearing wood replacement for interior and exterior applications.

With Celtec, utilize one material for both screen and digital printing.

CELTEC 700

Celtec 700 is a rigid expanded foam polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material whose extraordinary combination of features makes it ideal for commercial signage. Sheets are tough, high strength and lightweight and can be ordered in a wide range of sizes, thicknesses and colors. Celtec 700 expanded PVC sheets are free of lead, cadmium, barium and zinc and have passed all three UL 1975 requirements.

CELTEC 550

Celtec 550 is a rigid expanded foam polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material designed to replace wood in virtually every non stress-bearing application. For outdoor house trim applications-- such as soffits, fascias, battens and door pilasters-- Celtec 550 offers an array of weatherability features not found in any known woods. These features include: resistance to rotting, moisture absorption, splitting and delaminating. It can be used with no adverse effects where trim contacts masonry, ground or other potentially wet surfaces. Celtec 550 is highly recommended for outdoor trim in areas known for high humidity such as seashore (salt air) and high rainfall zones. For indoor house finishing applications, Celtec 550 is ideally suited for all window trim, door jambs and stops, sills, sashes, crown molding, baseboard, chair rail and more. It can also be used to fabricate complete assemblies such as kitchen wall and base cabinets, vanities, doors and windows.
