Smart-X is a distinctive and unique lightweight foam board featuring an all-plastic sheet material with surfaces of UV and weather resistant solid polystyrene (HIPS) and a core of expanded polystyrene that is completely moisture-resistant. These characteristics make Smart-X the worlds only lightweight foam board for external applications without any significant change in colour for a period of up to 2 years.
Due to its refined surface structure and the large format production (up to 2m width) Smart-X is also perfectly suited for direct digital printing.
Key features of Smart-X include:-
-
High stability and very low weight
-
Very good resistance to weathering – with high UV stability and humidity resistance, no deformation
-
Refined surface structure
-
Brilliant printing results with direct digital printing offering vibrant colours even for exterior applications
-
Temperature resistance from -10C up to +70C
-
Low resistance during contour milling
Smart-X is suitable for screen printing and UV flatbed digital printing and can be used with all lamination techniques for applications in the field of advertising, signage, event marketing and POS/POP displays.
Thanks to the excellent ratio of extremely low weight and high rigidity and flatness, Smart-X is ideal for the following two-dimensional applications:-
-
All types of signage, especially large format or long and narrow signs – formats where other materials usually deform
-
Optimal for self-supporting, free standing structures – directly printed – contour milled – shipped flat – assembled on site
-
Life sized fashion displays made from Smart-X – directly printed – contour milled – assembled on site – ready to go!
Smart-X is a mono-material composite made from 100% polystyrene (no adhesive between core and outer layers) and is 100% Recyclable.
Suitable for a range of processes including UV Flatbed Digital Printing, Laminating/Mounting, Varnishing, Sawing, Contour Cutting, Laser Cutting, Routing and Folding (V-groove cut) and Gluing.
