I could be wrong but kinda looks like Kappa Board to me.

Hi Robbie thank u for that, not that I’m afraid, it’s really high density board and quite heavy, I think it’s a recycled board. It’s really hard to show I pic but when trying to cut it or slice a bit off edge it’s very pvc plastic like. Thanks in advance.

I agree with rob on Kappa
I enquired about it through pyramid but you need a minimum order 18 sheets
not sure about other suppliers
they also do their own brand much cheaper and they split packs
Pyramid Foam Centered Board
Caliper: 5mm
Size: 1016 x 1524mm
Price: £4.77 per sheet
kappa is about £14a panel
derek

it might be the pyramid equivalent

Derek, the Kappa at 5mm is 8ft x 4ft mate, but your correct, 18 per pack minimum order.

Shaun, Kapa is like a very dense light weight foam with cartridge paper on front and rear. kinda feels that way anyway..
its strong and very light, easy to cut with a stanley knife but equally easy to bust a corner of the board if dropped on it.

I am surprised it costs as much as the likes of Correx sheet at same size and thickness.

Hi rob I’ve got that board but this is quite heavy and better cut by saw, it’s very compressed it’s like a very heavy foamex but more compressed and header to cut

[Robert Lambie]

Brett Martin do a recycled core board similar to that but the core is nearly black, with a brilliant white face on both sides for print etc.

Cheers rob I’ll check with them,

If the edges are very sharp when cut with a knife, then you may be looking at GatorBoard.

Very dense and hard for a foam board. I last got some from http://www.johnpurcell.net/

thanks richard, it sounds more like it but this is 3.5mm and that starts at 5mm on their site, appreciate all the helps didn’t think be this hard to identify a board lol.
