Foam adhesive is a polyurethane-based bonding agent used in construction for securing roofs, drywall, and plywood. It forms a waterproof, durable bond and is available in tubes or spray form. It reduces heat loss and is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Foam adhesive is a polyurethane-based bonding agent that is used in construction work and is […]
Convoluted foam is a synthetic polyethylene fabric used for protective packaging and lining. It is produced in flat sheets, contorted with a die-cutter to create an egg crate motif, and treated with copolymers to produce stiffness. It is used for noise reduction, bedding, and packing. Convoluted foam is a synthetic polyethylene fabric used as a […]
Soundproofing foam can be used to block sound from outside or absorb noise in recording studios. Sound Transmission Coefficient (STC) measures an object’s ability to block sound, while the noise reduction coefficient (NRC) measures how much sound an object absorbs. Dense and firm foam is used to block noise from entering a building, while acoustic […]
Polyurethane foam is a low-density material that can be flexible or rigid and has many applications, including in bedding, upholstery, insulation, automobile interiors, construction, and as a spray-on material. It is versatile and customizable, but care must be taken when applying it due to potentially harmful fumes. Polyurethane foam refers to a number of different […]
Isotonic foam conforms to the body for a comfortable sleep, and can be used as a full mattress or separate pillow. Originally used to relieve pain and prevent bedsores for hospital patients, it is now commonly used as a memory foam mattress.

Foam sealant is a chemical spray that expands upon contact with a surface, creating a lightweight and porous material with insulating properties. It is useful for sealing gaps and hard-to-reach areas, but can be difficult to remove and requires protective clothing. It is commonly used in commercial and home construction for insulation and sound absorption. […]
A hot wire foam cutter is a tool used to cut expanded materials like polystyrene. It can be manual or electronic, and the wire is heated to vaporize the material for a clean cut. There are various types, including handheld, table cutters, pattern-driven cutters, and computer numerically controlled (CNC) cutters. They are used for architectural […]
Rigid foam board insulation, also known as “pink board”, is a flat insulation used for various insulation work. It is easy to install, less itchy than fiberglass insulation, and provides heat retention, soundproofing, and a smooth surface for trim and bricks. It is commonly used in residences and can be placed on the exterior walls […]
Memory foam slippers provide warmth and support for people with cold or sore feet, as well as those with foot abnormalities. The foam adapts to the shape of the foot and can prevent pressure sores. It was originally developed for the space program but found use in the medical community. Memory foam slippers are comfortable […]
Seafoam is created by a combination of factors including decaying organic matter, excretions of algae, and pollutants. The amount of foam can vary due to factors such as phytoplankton blooms and human products. In 2007, seafoam was linked to the deaths and strandings of migratory seabirds. In some cases, circumstances combine to form colossal amounts […]
Metal foam is a gas-bubbled substance made of metal, with high porosity and recyclability. It comes in closed or open cell varieties and retains many metal characteristics. Metal foams are less conductive and weaker than solid metal but are used in aerospace and high-performance applications. They are sometimes considered a subset of cellular metal materials […]
Foam latex is used for making face masks, prostheses, and animation characters. It is easy to work with and creates realistic changes in appearance. It has been used in films like Mrs. Doubtfire and The Grinch, but cannot be reused once removed. Foam latex is used for a variety of purposes. It is commonly used […]
