Foam plastic
This name is used for a number of different materials with very broad application areas in everyday life. Foam plastics can have different compositions and structures, though all are light (low weight in themselves), flexible and offer a long service life. In the manufacturing industry, they have multiple uses, such as sealing, sound and heat insulation, filtering air and liquids, and many more.
They also play an important role as a shock-absorbing packaging material, as they effectively protect the vulnerable surfaces and components of the packaged goods. For the same reason, foam plastic is used in mattress stuffing, furniture and bags, and even draught excluders fitted around windows.
