2. Spray foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spray_foam

   Open cell spray polyurethane foam insulation being applied in wall cavities. Open cell insulation can be crushed in your hand and has a lower insulation value. Closed cell is rigid to the touch and each air cell is completely sealed. While closed cell foam has a higher R-value, it is more costly to buy. [9] Medium-density closed-cell spray foam ...

3. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   Open-cell foam is porous, allowing water vapor and liquid water to penetrate the insulation. Closed-cell foam is non-porous, and not moisture-penetrable, thereby effectively forming a semi-permeable vapor barrier. (N.B., vapor barriers are usually required by the Building Codes, regardless of the type of insulation used.

4. Foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam

   Foam rubber is a type of open-cell foam. A closed-cell metal foam. Closed-cell foams do not have interconnected pores. The closed-cell foams normally have higher compressive strength due to their structures. However, closed-cell foams are also, in general more dense, require more material, and as a consequence are more expensive to produce.

5. Closed-cell PVC foamboard - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-cell_PVC_foamboard

   Closed-cell PVC foam takes solid shape due to its linear structure. However, due to this structure, it is more brittle than open-celled PVC foam. It is available in densities varying from 3 to 25 pounds per cubic foot (0.048 to 0.400 g/cm 3). [3] It has a low flammability rate. [4]

7. Metal foam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_foam

   Open-cell metal foam CFD (numerical) simulation of fluid flow and heat transfer on an open cell metal foam. Open-celled metal foam, also called metal sponge, [3] can be used in heat exchangers (compact electronics cooling, cryogen tanks, PCM heat exchangers), energy absorption, flow diffusion, CO 2 scrubbers, flame arrestors, and lightweight optics.
