EPE foams are low density, semi-rigid, closed cell foam that are generally somewhere in stiffness/compliance between Expanded polystyrene and Polyurethane. Production of EPE foams is similar to that of expanded polystyrene, but starting with PE beads. [1] Typical densities are 29 to 120 kg/m 3 (49 to 202 lb/cu yd) with the lower figure being ...
Industrial Insulation. Rigid polyurethane foam is used in various industries to provide thermal insulation to installations and pipes. In particular, the piping for district heating systems in Europe is primarily insulated using a pre-insulated pipes sandwich assembly composed of a steel heat service pipe, an insulating layer (polyurethane foam) and a polyethylene (PE) casing, which are bonded ...
The company was founded by Charles Marshall as an expanded rubber manufacturer known as Onazote Limited in 1921. It then expanded into polyethylene foams in the 1960s. [3] It was acquired by BP in the 1970s, spun out from BP in 1992, and first listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1995. [4]
Owens Corning Inc (NYSE: OC) has agreed to acquire Natural Polymers, LLC, a manufacturer of spray polyurethane foam insulation for building and construction applications, based in Cortland, Illinois.
Styrofoam insulation extruded polystyrene foam (XPS), owned and manufactured by DuPont. Styrofoam is a genericized trademarked brand of closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam (XPS), manufactured to provide continuous building insulation board used in walls, roofs, and foundations as thermal insulation and as a water barrier.
Foam rubber was first made in 1929, by E. A. Murphy [2] and Eric Owen, two research chemists at Dunlop Rubber, who used whipped latex. In 1937, isocyanate-based materials were first used to make foam rubber. After World War II, styrene-butadiene rubber replaced many natural types of foam. Foam rubber has been used commercially for a wide range ...

Direct injection expanded foam molding (also known as injection molded foam) is a manufacturing process that creates soft foam products direct from a compound into a final product. [1] This process eliminates the steps normally required for die-cutting and compression molding , because it manufactures the foam and the product, simultaneously.
