Overview of Industrial Foam Materials
Among dozens of available foam types, the three most dominant are:
🔹 PU (Polyurethane)
🔹 PE (Polyethylene)
🔹 EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate)
PU foam is currently the most versatile and high-performance option thanks to its:
🔸 Strong expansion and adhesion
🔸 Excellent insulation and waterproofing properties
🔸 Available in 1K (moisture-cure) and 2K (fast-reacting) systems
✨ PU Foam Leads the Global Green-Tech Trend:
✅ Widely used in green buildings for energy savings
✅ MDI/Polyol systems are now CFC/HCFC-free
✅ Superior to traditional foam in performance and durability
📌 Key raw materials for PU foam:
📌 Typical applications:
PE foam is flexible, lightweight, and shock-absorbent – commonly used for:
🔸 Packaging fragile goods and electronics
🔸 Floor underlayment and thermal insulation
🔸 Anti-impact foam and soundproofing
Key materials: Virgin PE resin + blowing agents + aging stabilizers
EVA foam is known for its elasticity and softness. Common applications include:
🔸 Footwear, exercise mats, car cushions
🔸 Children's toys, shaped packaging
🔸 Soft and durable foam products
Main components: EVA resin + foaming agents + processing additives
