2. Expanded polyethylene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expanded_polyethylene

   Polyethylene bead foams (including) EPE can be used to replace both polystyrene foam, and both rigid and flexible polyurethane. Uses include cushioning applications, and impact absorption applications including packaging. [4] Consumption of polyethylene for PE foam was estimated at 114x10 6 kg in 2001. The majority was used for non-crosslinked ...

3. Polystyrene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polystyrene

   Before 1949, chemical engineer Fritz Stastny (1908–1985) developed pre-expanded PS beads by incorporating aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as pentane. These beads are the raw material for molding parts or extruding sheets. BASF and Stastny applied for a patent that was issued in 1949. The molding process was demonstrated at the Kunststoff Messe ...

   A multi-family residential building under construction with rigid panel exterior insulating sheathing. Rigid panel insulation, also referred to as continuous insulation, [1] can be made from foam plastics such as polyurethane (PUR), polyisocyanurate (PIR), and polystyrene, or from fibrous materials such as fiberglass, rock and slag wool.

6. Polyolefin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyolefin

   Polyolefin sheets or foams are used in a wide variety of packaging applications, sometimes in direct contact with food. [ 14 ] Polyolefin elastomer POE is used as a main ingredient in the molded flexible foam technology such as in the fabrication of self skinned footwear (for example, Crocs shoes), seat cushions, arm rests, spa pillows, etc ...

7. Filler (materials) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filler_(materials)

   Polymer Foam Beads can have a bulk density as low as 0.011 g/cc and range in size from 45 microns to over 8 mm. Common drawbacks to using Polymer Foam Beads in formulated systems include static, temperature, and chemical resistance limitations and difficulty achieving a homogenous blend within a formulated system due to their extremely low bulk ...
