Fainplast has developed a waterproof foam PVC compound to help ensure that, replacing wood frames that risk developing wood rot from moisture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an excellent solution for many camper builders,\u201d says Ottavio Tulli, Materials Specialist in  Fainplast\u2019s R&#038;D department.<\/p>\n<p>Caravans have been traditionally built with a lattice wooden fir strip inside the sandwich panel. In  this case, water infiltration can in the long run cause the wood to rot. Replacing the wooden strips with plastic slats solves that problem.<\/p>\n<p>Tulli says the most difficult challenge in creating the PVC compound \u201cwas to obtain a uniform density both on the exterior and the interior of the PVC element. This has been achieved by developing a new type of die just for this purpose and using a specifically formulated compound.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fainplast teamed up with the profiles producer Komplast to develop the material and the equipment involved. \u201cIt gives the customer a superior solution that can be used instead of wood and offers better durability and excellent flame resistance,\u201d Tulli says.<\/p>\n<p>And there\u2019s another advantage: caravan manufacturers can directly hang cabinets and other furniture directly to the PVC-made  panel. \u201cYou can\u2019t do that with other plastics,\u201d Tulli explains.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Camping in the great outdoors can be a terrific boost for your health and wellbeing, especially when you can keep your caravan as a cosy home away from home.
