Compressed Foam product introduction video

Features of compressed foam (hard)

Compressed foam is a closed-cell, one of the key features of closed-cell materials is the unique structure of the material that prevents the growth of bacteria and molds.

  • Ability to absorb shock and vibration
  • Low flexibility
  • Relatively high reversibility
  • Waterproof, sound insulation, heat and cold
  • Stability against different environmental conditions
  • Resistant to chemicals (base, acid, organic substances, solvents, and oils)

Advantages and characteristics of hard foam compared to conventional foams

Hard and normal foam have different characteristics and applications. The main advantages of hard foam compared to ordinary foam are as follows:

  • Greater hardness and strength: This feature gives it greater stiffness and higher compressive strength than conventional foam.
  • Pressure resistance and high strength: This type of foam is strong and suitable for high pressure and heavy loads due to its cell structure with a higher density. While ordinary foam may be damaged by high pressure.
  • Better thermal and sound insulation: Due to the denser cell structure, rigid foam performs better as thermal and sound insulation than ordinary foam.
  • More stability and longevity: Due to its solid structure, this type of foam is more resistant to various environmental conditions such as humidity, heat, and pressure, and it usually has a longer lifespan.
  • Wider applications: due to the advantages of hardness and resistance in hard foam, its applications in various industries including the automotive industry, construction industry, and electronic and electrical industries are wider. In the industries mentioned above, hard foam is known as a suitable alternative to ordinary foam.

Tip

EVA foam is often softer and less rigid than hard foam. The choice between hard foam and regular foam depends on your industry needs and intended application.

Applications of compressed (hard) foam in industries

Due to the characteristics of compressed foam, it can be used in various industries, but in this section, most applications of foam in various industries are mentioned.

  • Construction industry (insulation, flooring, as well as use in building structures)
  • Automotive industry (as heat and sound insulation, light and resistant structures to strengthen parts, to prevent vibration in the interior of the car, such as the roof, door, seat, and dashboard, etc., or special parts)
  • Packaging industry (to make all kinds of luggage, glasses boxes, etc.)
  • Electrical and electronic industries (insulation to prevent the transmission of electric current, protect parts and devices against shock and vibration, protect parts during transportation, control the heat of electronic devices and create an insulating space, and prevent short connections between parts)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is compressed foam?

Compressed foam, also known as hard foam, is a high-density, compact type of foam. It is primarily made from polyethylene or a combination of polyethylene and EVA, and its dense cellular structure gives it a notable hardness and resistance.

What are the key properties of compressed foam?

Compressed foam has several key features that distinguish it:

  • High Density and Hardness: It is significantly denser and harder than conventional foam.
  • High Compressive Strength: It can withstand high pressure and heavy loads without deforming.
  • Excellent Shock Absorption: It effectively absorbs impacts and vibrations.
  • Waterproof and Moisture Resistant: Its closed-cell structure prevents the absorption of water and inhibits the growth of bacteria and mold.
  • Effective Insulation: It provides good sound and thermal insulation.
  • Chemical Resistance: It is resistant to many chemicals, including acids, bases, and solvents.
How is compressed foam different from regular foam?

The main difference is its high density and hardness. While regular foam is known for its softness and flexibility, compressed foam is engineered for greater strength, durability, and compressive resistance. This makes it suitable for heavy-duty applications where a high level of support and impact resistance is required.

In which industries are Foamiran's compressed foams used?

Compressed foam is a versatile material with applications in many industries, including:

  • Construction: For insulation, flooring, and as a component in building structures.
  • Automotive: For thermal and acoustic insulation and as a vibration-dampening material.
  • Packaging: As a protective material for heavy or delicate items like glass and electronics.
  • Electrical and Electronics: For insulation and as a protective buffer against shock and vibration.
  • Sports: In specialized sports equipment that requires a firm, shock-absorbing material.
What services does Foamiran offer for its compressed foam?

Foamiran provides a range of services to customize its compressed foam products, including punching, lamination, die-cutting, and the application of adhesive backing. The company can also manufacture custom parts and molds to meet specific project requirements.

Does compressed foam resist bacteria and mold?

Yes. Like other closed-cell foams, compressed foam has a non-porous structure that is naturally waterproof. This property prevents the absorption of moisture and inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold, and fungus, making it a hygienic and durable choice.
