Foam is a lightweight material known for its versatility and cushioning properties. It is typically made from polymers such as polyurethane, polystyrene, or polyethylene, which are expanded and molded into a porous structure. Foam is widely used in various applications, including packaging, construction, automotive, furniture, and bedding. In packaging, foam provides protection by absorbing shocks and vibrations during shipping and handling, while in construction, it is used for insulation to regulate temperature and soundproofing. Foam comes in different forms, including sheets, rolls, blocks, and custom-molded shapes, making it suitable for a wide range of applications due to its lightweight nature, durability, and ability to conform to various shapes and sizes.
