Produced by Alcan Inc., Gatorfoam is an extruded polystyrene foam mounting board encased between layers of a melamine and wood fibre veneer. Gatorfoam/Gatorboard has a harder outer surface than other foam core boards and resists warping. For miniature builders, Gatorboard is often used as a backing for wet materials like paperclay or stucco finishes which require a water resistant backing while the coating dries. Gatorboard is more durable than foam core boards and is a good choice for non archival applications, where strength and light weight are important. It is not suitable for archival applications as the facings offgas.

Provides an ideal combination of minimal weight and high load capacity.

Veneers available in white, black, and kraft (natural). Large sheets of Gator Foam Core available in

3/16 inch  1/2 inch , 3/4 inch ,1 inch,1-1/2inch, 2 inch thickness.
