KAPA®tex is a lightweight foamboard with high-quality, textured covering layers on both sides and a polyurethane foam core. The canvas look surfaces, comprising embossed, latex-impregnated paper with a primer finish, create an optimum substrate for finely graded printed images. The impressive three-dimensional effect gives images and prints additional visual depth.
The boards deliver excellent flatness as well as high dimensional stability and are solvent-resistant. The sheet combines the advantages of a sandwich material – lightweight, rigid, easy handling - with the look and feel of canvas.
KAPA®tex is a premium board ideally suited to high-class applications including advertising signage and large-format image campaigns – printed using direct digital printing or screen printing – and to top-quality POS/POP advertising displays or as a robust canvas look painting surface.
KAPA®tex foamboards, as experience with KAPA® products has shown, are easy to process manually, the foam does not crumble and solvent-based paints or adhesives can be used without problems. By cutting a V-groove in KAPA®tex foamboards and then folding them, three-dimensional (picture) frames can be created.

KAPA® FIVE-DOT-MISSION
KAPA®, a high-quality lightweight foamboard with a polyurethane foam core and individual paper cover layers, has been assessed in line with our MISSION: TOGETHER. RESPONSIBLE. KAPA®line, KAPA®bright, KAPA®plast, KAPA®tex, KAPA®graph, KAPA®mount and KAPA®fix currently achieve a FIVE-DOT classification with a total of 6 points.
Biobased Content
Not only polyurethane but also an assortment of paper cover layers is used in the production of our KAPA®, foamboard manufacture. The expanded polyurethane foam core comprises 15 % of organic content. These polyols are sourced from renewable raw materials. The paper used in our production process is almost exclusively FSC®-certified paper (FSC® C127595), and this makes up the main part of the board. The FSC® label stands for a continuous and credible tracking process. It is a clear indicator that the paper comes from responsible forestry and other controlled sources. We are constantly monitoring the availability of other FSC®-certified cover layers, as we are committed to manufacturing as many products as possible using paper from responsible sources.
CO2 Footprint
KAPA® is ultra-light due to its special construction, featuring an expanded foam core between two outer paper cover layers. The foamed core enables a lightweight construction with reduced material use compared with an equivalent solid-core board. These material and construction characteristics contribute to KAPA®’s comparatively low carbon footprint within our portfolio.
Product life cycle
The average life span for KAPA® foamboards ranges from several weeks to several months. Depending on the application and location, e.g. in museums, the foamboards’ service life can be considerably longer. KAPA® is more durable than other lightweight foamboards especially when service temperatures are at a consistent -20° to +100°C. The KAPA® product family has been successful in the market for over 50 years and is simply indispensable for numerous short-term and medium-term interior applications.
