What are the differences between the two common types of boards in the advertising industry:KT board and PVC board?What are the applications in the advertising industry?

 KT board is a new type of material made of polystyrene(PS)PS particles that are foamed to form a board core,and then surface coated and pressed together.The board body is stiff,lightweight,not easily deteriorated,and easy to process.It can be directly screen printed(silk screen board),painted(paint adaptability needs to be tested),laminated with adhesive,and spray painted on the board.It is widely used in advertising display and promotion,airplane models,architectural decoration,cultural and artistic aspects,and packaging.

 Polyvinyl chloride(PVC)plastic is a polymer formed by free radical polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer,also known as PVC in English.PVC plastic board can be divided into soft PVC and hard PVC.Hard PVC accounts for approximately 2/3 of the market,while soft PVC accounts for 1/3.The essence of PVC is a vacuum formed film used for surface packaging of various panels,also known as decorative film or adhesive film,applied in many industries such as building materials,packaging,and medicine!

 The application of KT board in the advertising industry

 The use of KT board in advertising is twofold.Firstly,it is used as a mounting board for exhibitions,displays,and announcements to promote product information.Secondly,it is widely used in screen printing and is particularly suitable for large-scale unified promotional activities.Size:Available from 0.9m to 1.2m wide,usually 2.4m long.

 Advantages and disadvantages of KT board

 Advantages:The board is firm,lightweight,not easily deteriorated,easy to process,and inexpensive.

 Disadvantages:Highly deformable and prone to foaming.

 Suggestion:As the finished products have similar effects,it is recommended to use short-term advertising materials to save costs and achieve the desired results.

 The application of PVC in the advertising industry

 PVC(polyvinyl chloride)is made by substitution reaction of ethylene,chlorine,and catalyst.Due to its fire-resistant and heat-resistant properties,PVC is widely used in various industries such as construction,vehicle and vessel manufacturing,furniture,decoration,advertising production,exhibition signage,urban environmental protection,and tourism.
　　 　PVC boards can generally be used to create advertising characters through carving machines or manual production;It has multiple characteristics such as sawability,planing,nailing,and adhesion,and does not deform,crack,or require painting(available in multiple colors).

 Advantages and disadvantages of PVC board

 Advantages:Good adhesion to the board surface,high board hardness,good stiffness,and long-term non foaming and deformation resistance.

 Disadvantage:The price is higher than the previous two!

 Suggestion:

 Long term advertising materials are recommended for use.

 For short-term one-time use,it is recommended to choose ordinary KT board,which has a significant price advantage.For example,KT boards are generally used for telecommunications community promotion,product promotion,and short-term use.

 If used outdoors,choose the outdoor adhesive photo super card(with edge banding according to needs),which has a certain sense of quality and a certain level compared to KT board.

 If the usage time is long,such as about a year or more,it is recommended to use PVC board,which is corrosion-resistant,non foaming,and not easily damaged.

 Both 3MM(millimeters)and 5MM are acceptable.Typically,5MM PVC material is chosen for promotional,signage,POP posters,etc.that have the same effect as KT board.Its hardness and quality are better than ordinary KT board.
