This term is used to describe a number of different materials with a very wide range of everyday applications. Foam plastics can have different compositions and structures, but they are all lightweight (have a low density), flexible, and durable. In the manufacturing industry, they have many different applications, such as sealing, sound and thermal insulation, air and liquid filtration, and many more.
Protects and cushionsA shock-absorbing material
They also play an important role as shock-absorbing packaging materials, as they effectively protect the delicate surfaces and components of the packaged goods. For the same reason, foam plastic is used in mattress fillings, furniture, and bags, and even in draft stoppers installed around windows.
