The 3-30mm Color PVC Co-Extruded Board for Cabinet delivers unmatched versatility in cabinet design, offering a full range of thicknesses combined with vibrant, through-color construction that eliminates the need for painting or laminating.

|---|---|
This innovative material solves the limitations of traditional cabinet materials—wood’s limited color options, standard PVC’s thickness restrictions, and laminate’s delamination issues—through advanced co-extrusion technology that bonds colored outer layers to a stable core. Available in 28 standard colors (including PMS-matched hues) and thicknesses from 3mm to 30mm, it features a density gradient (0.75–0.95g/cm³) optimized for each thickness: lighter cores for thin panels (3–10mm) and reinforced cores for thick applications (15–30mm). Certified to REACH and RoHS standards, it contains no heavy metals or formaldehyde, making it safe for kitchens, bathrooms, and children’s rooms. Its consistent color throughout (ΔE <0.8) ensures that edge cuts and drilled holes match the surface, maintaining a professional finish in custom cabinetry.
Co-Extruded Color Technology
Dual-layer extrusion bonds a 0.5–1mm thick colored surface layer (formulated with UV-stable pigments) to a structural core, ensuring color consistency across the entire board. The pigments resist fading with 95% color retention after 5,000 hours of UV exposure (BS EN 513 testing), outperforming painted cabinets that require repainting every 2–3 years. Unlike surface-finished boards, its through-color construction means scratches or cuts won’t reveal unsightly white underlayers.
Thickness-Specific Engineering
Each thickness range receives specialized formulation: 3–10mm boards feature a flexible core for decorative trim and door panels, while 15–30mm boards include glass fiber reinforcement for structural components. This engineering ensures optimal performance for every application—3mm panels bend slightly for curved cabinet fronts (minimum radius 50cm), while 30mm panels achieve a flexural strength of 16MPa for heavy shelves. All thicknesses maintain dimensional stability within 0.1mm/m in temperature fluctuations.
Seamless Fabrication & Installation
The material’s uniform density allows clean cutting, drilling, and routing without chipping. It accepts standard cabinet hardware with screw holding strength ranging from 600N (3mm) to 950N (30mm) (ASTM D1761). For assembly, PVC-compatible adhesives create bonds stronger than mechanical fasteners, enabling seamless joints in visible areas. Its lightweight nature (5.2–9.8kg/m²) reduces installation labor compared to wood or MDF.
Custom Cabinet Doors & Fronts
10–18mm boards create durable cabinet doors in solid colors or woodgrain patterns, with the through-color eliminating the need for edge banding. Curved door fronts (using 3–6mm flexible panels) add modern design elements to kitchen and bathroom cabinets.
Decorative Trim & Molding
3–8mm boards are ideal for crown molding, baseboards, and decorative accents that match cabinet colors. Their flexibility allows intricate shapes, while the color stability ensures trim won’t fade faster than cabinet doors.
Structural Components
15–30mm boards serve as cabinet sides, shelves, and drawer boxes where strength is critical. In bathroom vanities, their moisture resistance prevents swelling around sinks, while in laundry rooms, they withstand detergent spills and humidity.
Q: How accurate is the color matching to PMS standards?
A: Custom color matching achieves ΔE <1.0 accuracy to PMS, RAL, or brand-specific standards. A 30cm x 30cm sample panel is provided for approval before full production, with a 7–10 day lead time for custom formulations.
Q: Can thick and thin panels be used together in the same cabinet?
A: Yes, all thicknesses are color-matched (ΔE <0.5) and chemically compatible, allowing seamless integration—for example, 30mm shelves with 10mm door panels and 3mm trim in the same color.
Q: What is the weight difference between 18mm PVC and wood panels?
A: 18mm PVC boards weigh 7.6kg/m² vs. 12.4kg/m² for oak plywood, reducing cabinet weight by 40% and simplifying wall mounting without heavy-duty brackets.
Q: How to repair surface scratches?
A: Minor scratches (depth <0.1mm) can be buffed with 400-grit sandpaper followed by a plastic polish. For deeper scratches, fill with PVC repair paste (color-matched to the board) and sand smooth—maintaining color consistency due to the through-color construction.
