Foam plastic

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.
