Best place to purchase solid PVC sign board

DL Signs

DL Signs

Never go against the family
You want Sintra, Komotex, Celtec?? Ultrafoam, or gator board, or... PVC is just a generic name, it's like saying you need vinyl.
Check with your regular suppliers. Most sign supply vendors carry them under trade names like those, and others, all have different quality, uses, and prices.

So, you don't know what he means, either.

Regular pvc is very rigid and darn near impossible to use for a sign, besides being extremely heavy. Expanded pvc has strength and can be used outdioors. It's bendable, easily cut with just about anything, drilled, glued and most woodworking tools make it all very easy. The link johnny provided explains all that to anyone who isn't sure.
When I said that I never heard that term, I meant in connection with ordering sign materials. Any good distributor will know this and explain the options for the OP. However, if the vendor doesn't know, they'll most likely just sell ya something like DL mentioned.
