Closed-cell foam is a type of foam where the cells are completely enclosed and packed together, making it more rigid, impermeable, and insulating compared to open-cell foam. It is widely used in applications requiring moisture resistance, high strength, and thermal insulation, such as in construction, packaging, and flotation devices.

Open-cell foam is a type of foam where the cells are interconnected, allowing air and moisture to pass through, which makes it softer and more flexible than closed-cell foam. This structure is ideal for applications requiring breathability and cushioning, such as in mattresses, soundproofing, and packaging materials.

Moisture resistance refers to the ability of a material or product to withstand the effects of moisture without degrading or losing functionality. This property is crucial in various industries to ensure durability, reliability, and longevity of products exposed to humid or wet environments.

High strength

Thermal insulation is a method used to reduce the transfer of heat between objects or environments, enhancing energy efficiency and comfort in buildings and industrial processes. It involves materials and techniques that minimize conductive, convective, and radiative heat transfer, thereby maintaining desired temperatures with less energy consumption.
