foam materials

Foam materials are lightweight, porous substances made of many tiny cells filled with air or gas, which give them cushioning, insulation, and soundproofing properties. They can be manufactured from various polymers like polyurethane, polystyrene, or latex. Foams are used in furniture, packaging, insulation, and even medical applications because of their ability to absorb shock, provide thermal barriers, and reduce noise. Their structure can be flexible or rigid, depending on the formulation, making them versatile for different engineering and consumer needs.
